It Don't Look Good For Saul/Lil G

[boliodogs]

It's a great fight even if it doesn't sell as well as expected. I am just glad the fight is happening. Oscar may not make as much money as he thought he would but he will no doubt still make good money to add to his large fortune. Both boxers have much to gain and much to lose. It's a very important fight with the potential to be an exciting war.

I think this fight would be in the 600-750k range...anything more has to be considered a resounding success. This I think would be w/ or w/o MayMac

I don't understand why people do care about how much fighters get paid and how many PPV are bought. They are rich and live comfortable anyway.

Who gives a shyt. The only thing that matters is the actual fight.

Why do you care about their bank account?

Who gives a ****. Do you want to see the fight or not? they are both millionaries anyway... 10 or 15, 30 or 45 millions...

This exactly

The Mexican fanbase will get up for the big fight. They know that this is 10x more dangerous and important for Canelo than vs Chavez and that fight did 1 million buys.

[redmish]

you don't count to good brother.

4 million ppv at $100 = 400 million

Floyd contract 100 million
conor contract 30 million

that's 270 million left. thats double what they paid

and that's not counting the actual gate, movie theater tickets, merchandise, concessions

Showtime is winning

Your right but both fighters will have a percentage of the PPV buys in their contracts too and mayweathers will be a higher percentage than McGregors.

I think boxing is at a higher water mark right now after MayMac. It outperformed expectations so I think a lot of cats who bought in for that for the first time or are casual fans usually will come back in a couple weeks for Canelo vs GGG. Plus a think a nice portion of hardcore fans saved their money for this fight with their lil boycott of MayMac.

So I think Canelo vs GGG for sure gets over 1M, which I was thinking they might not do previously cuz I expected MayMac to disappoint, but now I think they have a great chance to hit or even surpass 1.5M buys which will be Canelo's biggest PPV as the A side.

I still don't feel that it will reach that 1.5M mark, but we'll see how things shape out.

LOL... You make it appear they didn't spend a dime in the freak show.
Even circuses need to pay for elephant keepers, zebras, lions, tigers, clowns, etc. Then promote the show before it starts. That cost $$$$$.
The bigger the show the costlier it is to produce and promote.
Greedy Mayweatha was already bragging about getting a mimimum of $300 mil.
Plus probably another $50 mil for Gregor.
But we'll see whether Showtime made money or not by the number of regular fights they'll be able to come up with for the rest of the year.

hopefully porter vs Danny is one of those end of the year fights

Actually, it "doesn't" look good, not it "don't" look good.

And the answer is "fifteen".
