Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather-Pacquiao Gets 3 Million Buys

[BOXEO _]

Not at 100 bucks a pop.

aren't there legal streams that you can buy?

I don't think any streams outside of those authorized are legal. Because they are rebroadcasts streamed from a legally purchased source. For example, all streams are purchased and then rebroadcast at a fee .... The fee goes into the pockets of the streamer, not to the event sponsors.

The normal warning goes something like this ....

"Any rebroadcast, reproduction or other use of this event without the express written consent of the promotional company is prohibited."

Someone with a greater knowledge can correct me if wrong, but that's my take.

* Let me expand on the term "authorized":

Every event especially this one, will have a couple dedicated closed circuit sponsor\sponsors, who will stream the event live. They have a contractual agreement and are therefore, authorized to rebroadcast the event. If some "Joe" buys the PPV and then uses his equipment to rebroadcast the event online, he is doing so illegally.

... lol

If the expected top on the fight is now around 3m PPV buys, you're now looking at the fight bringing in $300m-$350m across all revenue streams, leaving the fighters with around $140m (once the distributors, Showtime/HBO, promoters, et all get their cuts) to split.

$84m to Mayweather (off of the fighter's take); $56m to Pacquiao.

so much for settling that tax bill, lol

Manny stated, that his kids will be there in the front row for the fight. I'm wondering how much he has to pay for that $$$$$$$

There will be no chance for chicken Floyd to win even if he rides on his 16speed bike and keeps on running away from the Pacman. The speed of Manny Pacquiao will catch Miss Flor Mayweather Jr. The Pacman is very excited to meet Floyd in the ring and he has been saying this like a prayer.

I think family of the fighters have Complimentary tickets, I could be wrong though. I know Ronda already have complimentary ticket from Arum.

I don't doubt that. But then again there are always who can afford the tickets that'll root for Manny. So you'll still hear chantings for Manny.
