Good. Free to air and make money off ad revenue and you'd still be in the green, let alone cutting prices on these PPV events. PPV is what made boxing less popular, ABC NBC USA Network ITV BBC right in your living room great fights for free made boxers household names.

That said $30 billion is ridiculous and can't be accurate.
$300m i could believe.

Considering the current record is like ~4.5 million PPV buys. I highly doubt they were going to come in at 300 Million buys lol
The article is, at worst, 30 million...in which case Showtime (and Floyd's children) missed out on 300k PPV buys. Still a huge figure and is actually possible considering all of the streams

Even though Pac is over-the-hill he still is a notable name and he was on the first ESPN card so they building it right.
Wouldn't be surprised if a trend develops fighting on ESPN.

These numbers arent from showtime, theyre from some random dudes youtube chanel, (maybe OP who is promoting it) who cant math worth chit
Originally posted by OnePunch View Postnot to mention that Showtime's distribution fee was probably only somewhere between 5% and 7% of the total buys. The other 93-95% would have went to the cable companies, Floyd, and Connor.
lol, then being generous and saying that Showtime directly gets 10% of each PPV sale, for them to lose $30 billion, they would be saying they lost 3 billion sales of the PPV at $100.
