PPV Industry Source: Being Generous "Mayweather-Berto May Hit 550,000 Buys"

[jcpryor]

The circumstances??? He created the circumstances. Mayweather Promotions was the promoter. Floyd picked the opponent. Floyd decided to announce the fight extremely late (for whatever reason), and Floyd decide not to do a press tour.

550K is a massive disappointment for the even considering Floyd's guarantee.

What does anything you just said have to do with my post? It doesn't matter who created the circumstances.

Good lord you're an idiot.

Pac and Algieri weren't getting paid 32 million. Not even close, their combined purses weren't even close to 32 million.

They got tax breaks in Macau. Fighting in Vegas, you don't.

There's a reason why they got paid what they got and fought where they fought.

Like I said, Fraud had an 87.5% DROP in PPV sales from his last fight only 4 months ago.

LOL at how the FloeHoe Stans are trying to tell themselves this was an OK number.

there's no state income tax in nevada.


the draw to bring pacquiao to macau was a fee posted by the casinos / state over there. it's a communist ******** mecca . i'm led to believe that it is 2-3 X the size of vegas, and does that much in ******** revenue each eyar. state sponsored debauchery.


rich chinese are f#cking ultra rich. they're paying cash, site unseen, on boston real estate right now. no joke. cash. unseen. these guys have F#cking money, and they gamble it away in macau.

they send their kids to BU and BC and buy them supercars to drive around boston. can you imagine buying your 18 year old kid a f#cking 10 cylinder ?

Do the Math

If Mayweather vs Berto does +500k it has to be considered a success (no one expected much from the non-existent Berto fanbase). Do the Math 500K ppv buys ($65 and $75) equals $35-million dollars before you add anything else up (gate, closed circuit, theaters, etc). Additionally Showtime doesn't have to split their share with HBO which is a plus.

I don't think this is far fetched. does it matter though? i feel like they made so much in the canelo and pacquiao fights, that they're "playing with house money" now? am i wrong?

[Szef]

Don't care about numbers, the fight was awesome, one of the best I've never seen.

[Barcham]

Wow! Another win in the Rousey column as her last PPV is said to have gotten around 1 million buys and that was with a very poor undercard and an extremely late night main event that lasted 34 seconds.

[No Tomorrow]

Wow. That's shocking. I know a lot of people like L.A.B. but I thought this would be more in the 4-450 range

[Larry the boss]

5.1 million ppv's for 2 fights is amazing

I don't think this is far fetched. does it matter though? i feel like they made so much in the canelo and pacquiao fights, that they're "playing with house money" now? am i wrong?

exactly...but this is some kind of win for Floyd haters..lol

Showtime is going to make the numbers look decent but I don't know why, not like it matters anyway. Game Is Over! He shattered and OWNS every PPV and Gate Record, he really don't even need that extra $30+ Million but he would have been ****** to leave it on the table. The did not put a lot of money into promoting this one, I'm sure they knew.

What are people going to say "Mayweather Is Not A Draw"

While it end up being a solid card surprisingly, with a Mainevent like that, this card probably shouldn't even break 300K, 500K is overachieving big time and again I'm sure Showtime is making it look decent.
