The only reason people pirate stuff is because subscription TV is overpriced. Only way to combat piracy is to do what Netflix did, offer reasonable prices.

Espinoza is worried. CBS probably spent millions of dollars on promotion plus the guarantee for both fighters. They may end up with a negative balance sheet again. Bulk of the money all went inside Floyd's pockets. This will become obvious when Showtime can't produce meaningful fights for the rest of the year.

Just so you know none of these mofo's don't ever lose $ they just always want to increase the $ coming in, the worse is they make little $ back.

Showtime can't do **** on European streams. Plenty of streams available from Europe on fight night.

... it's Sky Sports which airs this PPV in Europe... then OK, OK...

Dunno, sounds like NetFlix has some cashflow issues. I don't have NetFlix and don't know much about them honestly but it does sound like they've overcommitted.

"When considering the off-balance sheet commitments for content, the company's total liabilities are more like $20 billion rather than $11 billion shown on its U.S. GAAP balance sheet. Even scarier, the company's current liabilities balloon from around $4.5 billion to over $6.6 billion. As shown in the partial balance sheet below, Netflix only has about $1.7 billion in cash and short-term investments to meet the $6.6 billion in obligations in the coming year."
