Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Berto PPV To Land in 550-600K Buy Range

[SchoolTheseCats]

make Floyd fight in china against Berto ppv 150k and that is being generous.

genius

Fighting in China doesn't affect us ppv time it comes on just starts late over there genius stop with the excuses for his two ****ty ppv numbers

[-Kev-]

600000 ****** people, doesn't surprise me at all. World is full of them. Sad story.

It was actually a lot more than 600,000. The majority were probably fight parties/or gatherings with at least 5 people(gathering) and at most who knows, 30-50(party)? There was most likely a lot of "chipping" in for this fight. I know my friends invited me to watch it, it was going to be 12 of us in the gathering. I refused and they did not buy it, if I don't want to pay for a fight, no one does, cause they know I buy everything, when I don't it has to be absolute garbage.

if Floyd fought Berto in china then you can compare genius

PPV broadcasts everywhere for all intents and purposes, China is just as far away from me in Atlanta as Vegas is. Location only makes a difference for the gate price

I said this before; 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.

The gate, closed circuit and theaters didn't bring in squat. If they had to give away lots of comp tickets, then how do you think the closed circuit went. 99% percent of the money came from ppv.

You must have some very good crack.....Why would thier be anything close to a 50-50 split? The last fight was 60-40 and Pacman was dominated. The offer will probably be a 75-25 split or a flat $25-million guarantee if he's lucky. Manny has no options that can provide him a better payday and will accept...

The leg that manny has to stand on if they were to fight again(which there is no chance that will) is that Floyd was juicing and broke rules for the fight and there for the outcome is in question. But if by slim chance they did fight again. It would definitely be closer to a 50-50 split.

But anyways F#%* pacquiao and f#%# mayweather. They are both tainted IMO.

so his last fight didn't earn that much money to justify his monicker "money man"!

he should create an event for sportscasters and media people, finance it, to give honor and award for his own self with a selfie pictures!

[FrenchDeLaHoya]

so 1) when does he give up the belts?

and 2) i stopped getting fooled by floyd a long time ago, i guess there are atleast 500k idiots that exist in america. lol

Its an okay numbers. I thought it was gonna be 400,000.

But to the Flotards, what is your excuse now that he did not sell 1 mil? Don't blame Berto, you guys said his the most popular boxer.

Floyd fans play both sides. Pacquiao only deserved 10-20% and the opponent doesn't matter. Fast forward to the Berto fight and disappointing numbers and all of a sudden the dance partner has meaning. One would think that the event would have done much better considering this was TBE'S going away party.

Watch this fight outsell Canelo/Cotto and GGG/Lemeuix put together

Cotto And canelo will do over 1 million close to 2 million.

That will show the rest of the world when canelo was fighting under pbd undercard why it had such high numbers.

After he left when pbf faced guerero his numbers floped
