Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[puga]

dont forget , they have to pay for their undercards and hbo gets half of the ppv

true, altho not sure how the undercard fighters get any but im someone like canelo really might want some of the money too....

I will sell more than 1.2 million PPV's though. Pac sold 1.25 Million with Cotto in Nov, and I am willing to bet that Floyd will outsell him with Cotto, especially since it's on Cinco De May and will probably have Alvarez on the card as well.

I am guessing 1.35-1.4 Million PPV's.

So, that's 84 Million in PPV buys, plus the 16 million in MGM tickets, and whatever Cotto's guarantee will be.

I could see him making 30 million, which is more than Pac has ever made. What's funny is that Manny was offered a 40 million guarantee and Koncz, as well as Floyd, confirmed that the backend money was definitely negotiable, yet they didn't want to negotiate.

lets say 100 million is the total gross..so 30 million goes to cotto and 60 million to floyd?..lol.
how about government taxes which from what i understand is about 30%(corporate tax) of the net total....how about promotional expenses....promotional cuts, etc...

the numbers just aint possible man....

with the pac vs floyd drama, not in mood for that right now....

your a moron , you think hbo does this for free ?

[mathed]

it aint possible....30 million for cotto so that would mean atleats 50 million for floyd...where are they gonna get that 80 million just to pay the fighters....

unless thye are expecting this to sell around 2 million buys, the numbers are impossible...

The PPV's for Dish HD are $69.95; 2.5 million buys and that's $174,875,000 (assuming all the buys were Dish TV HD)

You could say maybe 25% will be Dish TV HD purchases so that's $43,718,750, that'll cover Cotto's guarantee alone.

Then you have all the other PPV providers and the movie revenues and the clothing sales and pretty soon, you have a ton of money on your hands.

Is this true that the companies (HBO/Showtime) take 50% of ppv money? seems like a high number. I know that the distributers(comcast, direct tv, etc) take around a third of the price right off the top.
I know then HBO gets a share of the remaining before it goes to the promoters, but is it really HALF of whats remaining?

When a fight is on HBO-PPV, instead of spending money in the form of a license fee, HBO is taking in money from its subscribers and others. What sort of profit does HBO make from pay-per-view? We keep hearing, “It isn’t as much as you think it is.” But there is a profit for HBO Sports, and there’s a far greater profit for Time Warner.

When a fight is on pay-per-view, more than fifty cents of every dollar in pay-per-view revenue goes to the cable or satellite company that provides the signal to consumers and the “clearing houses” through which pay-per-view telecasts are sold to cable and satellite system operators.

Time Warner Cable is the second-largest cable operator in the United States with more than 13,000,000 basic video subscribers. Moreover, roughly ninety percent of the homes in the United States that are addressable by cable for pay-per-view telecasts are “cleared” by a company called In-Demand. In Demand is owned by Comcast, Cox Communications, and Time Warner.

it's usually 50% for the cable and satellite providers.

From what I understand, they actually take more than a half (yeah, crazy). Then HBO gets it taste. The remainder is what is divided. But there are other revenue sources to consider.

The New York Times ran a great article about it during the Ortiz fight.

I can't believe of how close the Cotto-Clottey fight was.

and now Roach is saying that Cotto is a much tougher foe than Bradley because every time he's sees Cotto he looks better..

*******s are in hiding yet once again......

[WESS]

Cotto is not a live dog in this fight. He doesn't have much left in the tank. He looks slow at that weight.

not according to many fans and of course Freddie Roach.

nor eveybody is going to buy the HD..even if they did and sold 1.4 mil..(yeah lets go maximum..lol)

1.4 mil x 70eac =98 mil minus 25% of that = 73.5 mil
16,000 x $1000 eac =16 mil ..iam sure MGM would want some of that monet too...let's say 25% =12 mill

85.5 mill ..how about corporate taxes which is 30% net i think...

even you put everything on maximum , it still not possible man....
