Umm... What? Saying 1.5 million buys would make them 50 million means absolutely nothing about them making or losing money prior to that number.

They're referring to Mayweather's upside after his guarantee and other payouts have been distributed.

[Easy Work.]

Floyd is just huffing and puffing, but will never fight Pac


He'll make outrageous demands per usual, Pacman should never lower himself to Floyds demands

50/50 all the way on everything

I thought you pacaronis said that pac doesnt care about the money and woul,d do it for free....lol look at all the excuses.

Pac should give 2 ****s less about what hes getting paid since he has said he will literally do ANYTHING

there's more to promotion than tv ads. plus even in house tv ads cost money, bud. say cbs shows an ad it's not free.

and production costs are a lot. it's not cheap.

I just outlined for you the distribution pie. Telling me production costs are not cheap is so absurd I don't even know where to begin. This is a fight, not a movie. It won't cost millions.

I told ya'll id make this **** happen

even an elementary dropout is smarter than your ass.


quit ducking your goat sex thread in the lounge.

Your the first person to talk about posters who use PPV numbers when discussing splits, now your doing the exact same thing but failing miserably.

That still doesn't mean **** because we know they would get that much. 1.5 million at 70 a piece is 56 million after the cable companies get their cut. The fight did 800k the first time at 900k the second time. At 900k that's only 34 million after the cable companies get their cut. That's the last fight only made 30 million after cable companies get their cut.

I really don't want to get into it much more that that, I will if I have to, but saying a theoretical buy of 1.5 million means Floyd made money is not even grasping at straws or desperation, it's idiocy.

You're totally missing the point. Only $30m after? Yeah...and Showtime has already gotten their cut.

when you make about the same ppv revenue as what you're paying 1 fighter. you're probably not making much and you might be losing.

ppv revenue is the bread and butter and it's close to what they guarantee floyd.

it's plain to see.

You are taking the article out of context. If the fight did 1.5 million buys that is about 56 million after cable companies. Let's say Showtime gets 10% (Which seems about right) that would in fact leave Floyd 50 million.

The problem arises at numbers lower than a million because before Showtime gets a cut the best they did is 35 million. So again you're using theoretical numbers and I'm crunching the real thing, it paints a different scenario. You might not like it as much as the 1.5 million buy rate, but it's the reality of the situation.
