What makes me laugh is that with those huge purses, they couldn't afford to put some decent undercard fights. Couldn't splurge ~$3M on a decent undercard fight? Had to get Charles 'Where da ganja" Martin?
People still worrying about numbers that they won’t ever see, news flash they all lie about their numbers! They can even pay media to over exaggerate the estimate!
All we should care about is the fight itself, I think it’s gonna be better than the first and if so then buckle up boys and girls!
Cable providers take half the PPV money. They'd need way over a mil to break even if it was PPV alone, but adding in the gate etc they need around a mil.
If we go buy statistics and Algebra and then compare the cost.
(50 million/75 ) = X
50 million divided by 75 is 666,666, not a million.
I am confused by your equation for a few reasons though. The PPV costs $80, not $75. Arum is claiming the live gate is more than $16 million. I'd imagine UK pay-per-view would generate another $15-20 million. I'm sure there are other revenue streams as well? I don't know all of the math, I'm just curious where you got the million buy break even figure from.
