Shotime deal w/ Floyd a Success...here's why

When you add up all the fights it comes to 10.2 to 10.3 million buys. The average price being $70 PPV estimated. So that's $714-$721 mil. They typically get $10 mil for international rights for the fight however got $40 mil for the Pac fight and I'm not sure what they received for the Canelo fight. So we'll say Sho at least got $90 mil for international rights. So lets just make it at least $800 mil Sho made on the Floyd deal. Even if Showtime gave Floyd 60% of the money which would be $480 mil they still walked away with at least $320 mil on the deal. I don't know what world people are living in but that's some real dough. These are very very conservative numbers even the most pessimistic person would conclude. I believe Showtime made more however I don't have enough solid data to go above those numbers.

I guess it was worth taking a dive. lol ***ing sellout. He got his bonus for losing. Thats what hes trying to say!

[SterlingStained]

they probably paid him extra not to take illegal IVs with vitamins on it.

those are just for floyd.

[damian War]

He convinced Showtime that Berto was a tough competitor that he couldn't overlook.

a young hungry lion.

but yeah.. i don't think Showtime cared too much about how this fight performed after the money they made off the Pacquiao fight.

You really shouldnt post about things you know nothing about. First off, you seem to have forgotten that the cable distributors take almost HALF the ppv money. And also, $10 mil on foreign rights (non-pac) is a pipe dream.

You should go to work for Showtime with math skills like you have.

must have bet against himself, easiest fight mayweather had in years

[texasboi15]

i beliive you berto.

like canelo both of you got something extra on the side to make Floyd looked good

heard it thru the g****vine

BwahahahahahaHAHAHahahaha!

You fckin moron.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

you got the same deal everyone else got probably even a shittier deal cause Mayweather gives you a guarantee and then percentages off the ppv and he lets you have your country tv licensing but since you dont have a country you dont get that extra bonus and since your ppv numbers were so low your percentages were so low.

So yeah you got $4million + Percentages + Your Country licensing.

I was gonna say he way overexgratted the foreign rights numbers and he didnt even calculate that the PPV distributors take cause they take a huge chunk they take like 49%.

Now did Showtime make out on top with their deal with Mayweather, I am pretty sure when you look at the big picture they did (new subscribers, majority of all the top fighters fighting on their network for a breif period, and that only happened cause they took mayweather.) but if we talking direct profits from mayweather I am sure they are in the minus.
