Then who the **** was the guy they were poking with spears on the cross?

Spears? It was one spear and one poke. He's the same guy whom God sent to die for our sins. He's the same guy who rose from the dead on the third day, and now sits at the right hand of God. The same guy who was with God when he formed the universe with his spoken word. The same guy who will return one day, and prove the unbelievers wrong, oh ye of little faith. But that is for another time, we're talking boxing now.

Again with the money thing as if that matters.

I'm sure that's what Haymon's investors told him.

From a dollars and cents perspective, Stevenson-Kovalev brings in the most money for the participants (outside of putting it on PPV) on NBC; doubt that HBO would ever be willing to put up the $5m that Haymon put up for the first show with Goosen.

That was $5 million of Haymon's money, not NBC's.

Haymon could give both $5 million if it was just about using Haymon's investor's money.

So you dont thik the 2 years of tv time they bought matters. Its money on the first show or bust. Are you serious right now?

The tv time matters, if they can make the money work going forward beyond the time buys.

But everyone throws out the UFC example, when the economics in boxing are far far different from the economics in the UFC.

Economics for PBC or UFC aside. (Not sure why we're talking about that) PBC has gotten better ratings then the average UFC on FOX. Fox considers the UFC a success. Ratings are what matters to the networks. Not the companies ****ing economics. Yes that matters to the company,but for PBC and its investors in the short term, this is the investment, the risk. Investments are risky.

Get it? The ultimate goal is a tv deal. A tv deal worth anything near what UFC gets automatically makes this investment a success. Talking about the economics of the PBC or the UFC has no mater to NBC or Fox.

Why would that make a different to NBC what PBC spends? If PBC cant make there money back does that really matter to NBC? No, of course not. PBC has the time they are looking to prove something. If they prove it, they get a deal. Then PBC will have a budget to work with and make profit from without the risk of the current time share model.

You guys are stuck in this short term train of though. I dont get where you're coming from.

The PBC has had one episode and you're comparing it to what the UFC averages.

Hilarious.

I guess you're assuming that what the PBC did last Saturday night will continue on for the length of the deal...are you also assuming that a) the PBC will continue paying out $5 million for fight cards b) the ratings will remain the same or get higher?

Thats the goal. Nice short reply. You got ****ing owned and put in your place. Maybe you're finally starting to understand what an investment is. Arum **** bunny.

Figuring out if this will be viable in the long run is easier with Network TV vs Cable TV..... Network TV usually sets advertising cost for certain time slots......

Gotta look at the big picture.

This was never gonna run at a profit but 4.2mil people have seen Thurman and Broner in action.

Those poeple will talk, and excitment will build.

Got alot of ads in for garcia,Quillin and Wilder too.

This is aqbout getting exposure to mainstream viewers, the pay of comes down the line when Garcia fights Thurman on ppv and it sells cos way more people know them
