Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

Forbes printed an article that they lost 12 million on the guerrero fight alone.

Don't know about that one obviously I'm nobody to dispute what Forbes publish financially. The fight was quickly followed up by the richest ever.

I'm trying really really hard not to get my hopes up about this finally actually coming to fruition...they sure are making it hard these last few days to not be a little excited though.

12 million loss for what???

In 2014 CBS/Showtime did two Mayweather Pay-Per-View fights, which sources say did less than 900,000 buys each. With the break-even being about 1.2 million buys per fight, figure CBS lost a total of $10 million to $12 million on each rumbles.




Boom! Down goes your boy again..

Insert what I said again..


It's about marketability, I just showed you who's on top. fight earning is the current market value of a fighter.

32 million guarantee by showtime to floyd, less 12 million loss from that last fight = 20 million should have been the realistic fight purse for Floyd just so showtime can break even on that fight.

But for showtime to earn at least, floyd's earning for that maidana fight should have been less than 20 million so that showtime could take home some piece of the pie.

Pac's last fight earnings was 23 million. With Everyone around him making money.

Based on that, pac is even ahead on marketability.

Face it Maysweater just doesn't want the fight. For years we have listened to the excuses, with the hope that he would finally take a risk. All the money in the world won't give him the courage.

So.... are they fighting or what?

[IMDAZED]

Compared to ppv revenue and gate? Yes....



I was saying they spent a lot on the may day thing that mayweather produced. Like over a million. Plus at least a couple million on advertising. I know they have ads on the CBS channel too. It doesn't matter if its on their channel...... That is lost revenue therefore they still have to pay for it.

So? You're still talking 7-8 digits.
