Comments Thread For: Espinoza Not Confident Mayweather-McGregor Sets PPV Record

[al-Xander]

Espinoza needs to focus on the current massive inactivity going on in the Showtime/PBC camp. It's terrible. This guy seems to be doing nothing about it. He's so focused on this circus fight.

Not sure it'll be the U.S. buy rate, but the entertainment industry seems to think the haul will be massive

Let's not forget about international buys. Who knows what that'll look like...

[Schmerzen]

ez over 6million ppv buys

[_Maxi]

This fight will be PPV in Argentina. Or kinda. You need an special subscription to see it. Pacquiao-Mayweather was aired here in public Tv (The previous gob bought the rights).

Some **** will go down tomorrow and people will get hyped.

Im expecting an "intense" weigh in tomorrow.
Ima work on saturday but ima hand out streams to my fam since they actually wanna watch it

"There's a sucker born every minute" - no saying captures the essence of this fight more than this statement.

I always said that it will be Just Under Maywather vs Pacquiao Low 4 Million maybe 4-4.4 Million but regardless all involved will make a TON of money because it is Money Flying in from all over the place and all over the WORLD so I'm sure both are Capitalizing. Probably won't see who is endorsing this fight until fight night and until they come out and what patches they have on their Trunks but I'm sure both already made a lot in endorsements alone already

These are thing fans DON'T LOOK AT they just look at the Ticket Sales and PPV Buys but it is so many ways to make money when you're a draw in boxing. Allegedly what Mayweather has accumulated in Endorsements so far:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER RINGWEAR SPONSORSHIP

Shorts - £11m

Ring sponsorship - £3.8m

Robe - £775,000

Weigh-in trunks - £775,000

Boxing shoes - £775,000

Victory cap - £775,000

Walk out cap - £387,000

Yea that sh^t is nuts.

Conor in one of his videos said he was trying to make $100M on endorsements off of this fight. And I wouldn't be surprised if he's getting upwards of that number. Already down with Monster, Versace & Beats. I assume Reebok is in too.

I just hope the Burger King don't walk Floyd to the ring again. That sh^t was goofy as f#ck. Although who the f#ck am I kidding if they offered me $100,000 a year to have the Burger King walk with me everywhere I went I'd be hanging with the Burger King too.

Do this network even make a profit?
I clearly remember Showtime unable to produce fights the rest of the year after the May/Pac fight. New subscribers who got attracted by the hype created by the 3 stooges, Haymon/Schaefer/Espinoza together with TBE, eventually canceled subscription because there were very few boxing being shown. They failed to deliver.

I think worldwide it could and probably will, when you include the UK and other countries.

In terms of just the USA, i'm not sure anymore. As someone on here said, it's probably the kind of occasion where a lot of people will watch in groups, so I could see more people actually watching it, but the actual buys not being as much for this reason..

My sister lives in the Canary Islands and they have to pay 12 euros or something for the fight even there and boxing is not popular there at all. I'm assuming it's probably the same for mainland Spain too.

It seems not many places are getting it for free then.
