Now that is if it was 550 ppv
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...per-view-sales
Sad way to go out. All smoke and mirrors. The fraud way tsk tsk tsk..
But in reality it's closer to 400 lol so showtime got hit with a lethal hole in their pockets. Total loss.
Sources: Mayweather-Berto draws between 400K and 550K PPV buys
If Floyd Mayweather's expected rout of Andre Berto on Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas truly was his final fight, then Mayweather will have gone out with a whimper, not with a ****.
Mayweather, boxing's clear-cut pound-for-pound king and the highest-paid athlete in the world, retained his welterweight world titles against Berto and announced his retirement afterward, as expected. But although he closed his career with a perfect record (49-0, 26 KOs), sports fans largely yawned at his supposed finale.
According to multiple industry sources, the Mayweather-Berto Showtime PPV card was a box-office bomb, selling 550,000 subscriptions, at best. It could have done as few as 400,000, one of the sources said.
"Being generous, it might hit 550,000 buys," one source said.
Floyd did another daylight robbery. This time to Showtime. He got paid so much money he didn't deserve. Amazing conman athlete ever. The best!Last edited by Spoon23; 07-16-2016, 01:33 AM.

Shocker: spoilt, pampered, entitled boxers who've been brought up on a diet of showcase fights for overinflated purses are only willing to take serious risks for an unrealistic amount of money.
But Haymon pay his fighters doe.

you can only leverage and undefeated record if you're someone like floyd.
You cant leverage your "0" against a boxer of pacquiao's stature if you're danny freaking garcia, a guy who shouldnt even have an "0" in the first place.
This was a short sighted decision by both Garcia and Broner. The didnt think big picture. Sharing the ring with pacquiao would have greatly improved their FUTURE economic earning power just by sharing the ring with a living legend like pacquiao.
its typical of the hood mentality. take the easy money, easy way out, instead of investing properly and planning of the future.
You of all people, a guy who sells insurance, should know that.

I can only assume Haymon advised them against the fight, or perhaps its only some fighters whom strive for greatness, and some fighter are just content.
And 3-4 mill is not low you bunch of weirdos, he'd be hard pressed to make much more fighting Floyd.

I just had to check this thread (And the Broner thread) to see if i had imagined what i'd seen yesterday. But no, there is actually posts in both threads saying that both fighters should be paid up to the £9-10m mark for a Pacquiao fight.
Just when i ask myself can NSB get any more crazier? The answer is yes..always yes.

To harp about a "new tone" is a bit much, and the fact that Arum only offered Broner and Garcia, two fighters with actual interest in the boxing world, the same $3m that he offered Brandon Rios to fight Pacquiao off of a loss puts the breaks on that view.
