If you will buy this expensive $70 Floyd-Ortiz PPV, youre actually giving it to Floyd

    Actually you're paying about $59.5 (out of the $70 price tag) to Floyd for every PPV buy. That's how expensive to watch Floyd fights nowadays... Floyd must be a rare exotic creature... :D

    59.5 / 70 = 85%

    Thats so ****ing gross.. All the mexicans that are buying this card are probably buying it to see canelo and morales!! Floyd is riding off the mexican independence day weekend and all the mexican fighters on the card! :deal

    not buying this time....floyd will play it safe as usual, just potshot for a ud, nothing new.

    for me, watching this fight on replay will be just as good.

    i'm still waiting for the "he will potshot and run" people to show me a few examples

    we all know baldo sucked, but, besides that fight, i have never seen him run

    of course they will just rabble off some rhetoric and then change the subject

    Teacate? Probably a sponsor of the fight. More money in the "***'s" pocket? :think

    It's a good card in terms of recognizable names, Floyd, Erik Morales and Saul Alvarez but look at the opposition and the odds. :shock:

    Mayweather at -800 while Ortiz at +500

    Alvarez is at -1600 and Gomez is +800

    Morales is -700 against Pablo Cesar Cano at +450

    Actually the above fights were mismatches and you're paying $70 for 3 mismatch fights. :D

    The math is all ******ed. For one, those should be the guaranteed numbers, which is the amount they're getting regardless of the PPV count; I don't know what the split is that they negotiated for the PPV buys, but I doubt its 8% for Ortiz. :roll:

    Those numbers are all part of the overhead for this event, which still includes site fees, HBO telecasting, promotional and trainer fees, etc etc.
