    Dang Mosley's is $50? At least with Mayweather you're expecting to get gouged. I'll just save my money for Canelo/Cotto and GGG/Lemueix.

      WCS, Mayweather-Berto likely generates ~$50m on PPV($65 per PPV for just over 750k PPVs gets you to $50m in PPV revenue); from that amount, Showtime gets 7.5% as their fee, $3.75m.

      You add that the initial deal has already been paid for by a lot (rumored to need to have gotten 6m PPV buys over the six fights; 800k for Guerrero, 2.2m for Canelo, 900k for Maidana, and 900k for Maidana II gets you to 4.8m PPV buys. 4.5m PPV buys for the Pacquiao fight, halved as Showtime's full share on the fight, gets the total to over 7m PPV buys, with one more fight to go), in addition to their not being another megamoney fight in the cue, and I don't see where the hate is coming.

        Mosley-Mayorga will be more competitive than Mayweather-Berto but why pay for either fight?

            I'd sooner watch two washed up fighters fight each other than Mayweather vs Berto. At least the Mosley fight is unpredictable.

              Can't disagree with Mosley on this one.

                How many of you paid to see Manny against Algieri?

                  It may be cheaper but it's not better.

                    Mosely vs Mayorga is PPV!?? Damn Shane, don't be surprised if hardly anyone buys it. This will be probably end up being free due to lack of interest.
