Can't beat a bit of bum slapping Tubby Tockley humour. The vid was sort of soothing in some kind of far out cosmic ******ed kind of way.
Did you fail maths at school with the highlighted above? Also - Pacquiao/Cotto: $8.84 million gate 1.25 million PPV buys @ $54.95: $68,687,500 Combined - $77,527,500 Pacquiao whilst promotionally signed to Top Rank, does ALL his shows as a 50/50 basis through MP Promotions with Top Rank, hence achieveing at least $27-$28m against Cotto once you take out Cotto's purse/operational costs/marketing expenses/u/card and the lovely big one Nevada hits with - Tax. MP Promotions and Top Rank split all costs and then profits for the show on a 50/50 basis. Fair to say, Top Rank and MP Promotions make **** loads per show.

Don't forget the networks if its HBO or Showtime throw in a few million since it's them that actually propose who fights who.
In Shape, this is the kind of bum slapping one can expect: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bhtG1n-OV0[/ame]
Not in the USA they don't, nowhere near it. That's how it is here in Australia because we only have one real PPV network who hold the control. Networks in the USA (HBO / Showtime, etc) make their revenue by a small share of the PPV and the advertising/advertisements they sell associated to the show. How do TV networks make money - viewers. Pac and Money May bring massive viewer numbers, hence more viewers. More viewers equal bigger ratings and bigger ratings equal more advertising revenue. Nice try to cover, but your figures weren't even remotely close to begin with.
