Quick question do anyone got a link to all the ppv fights this year to see where this flop rank at.
Announcement

No announcement yet.
Which was more dissapointing? Floyds 389k ppv buys or GGG's 97k buys.

They made a ton of money from Mayweather's 5 fight deal, I can almost guarantee they made a whole lot more than they anticipated. Anything Mayweather/Berto made was just extra to fund whatever else they wanted.
What extra do you speak of? What part of that fight was a total financial flop dont you understand?

Maybe you can try and explain how showtime didnt take a massive loss on that fight.Originally posted by El-blanco View PostThe question is asked regarding two events. I don't know why anyone is bringing up other fights. Was Floyd's contract a success? Most definitely, but the berto fight was a disaster. Nobody wants to lose millions regardless of what transpired before. Nobody spends 40 million plus just to tank half of it.
GGG managed to get 9% of his audience to buy his fight at $60
Floyd managed to get 20% of his usual audience to buy his fight at $70
GGG is an investment and it didn't start good. Floyd was an established fighter on his last fight against a bum.

You can't honestly think showtime expected to make money off him again. Not after the talks of boycotting and the odds for the Berto fight. Whatever they generated were to pay a portion of Floyd's purse and the rest was pretty much covered by his last fight were they made much more money than they anticipated. On the other hand GGG generated nothing but doubts for future sponsors.

He asked what was more disappointing not which did better financially. Little G was the bigger disappointment.

Originally posted by -Johannes- View PostDo you honestly think showtime had no budget for Mayweather's contract? There are risks involved in spending so much money but overall you can't sit there and say Showtime was overall dissapointed with the way Floyd's contract played out.

Floyd-Berto sold more then i expected.
GGG-Lemieux sold less then i expected.
Im having fun reading the comments from the NSB actuaries though. As if when Showtime gave Floyd that contract, they expected every single PPV to sell 1.5 million plus. You ******s are hilarious. Showtime was so disapointed in Floyd-Berto that they tried to re-sign Floyd to another long term deal.
So we are talking disapointment, who is disapointed exactly?
