    Berto and Algieri is a false equivalency considering Berto's been showcased on HBO and other networks for years, where as Algieri only appeared once on HBO prior to fighting Pac.

    also it's not a bad number considering the fight was in macau and the ppv show in the US was during dawn.

    Pac made more than that. It was closer to 500K than it was 300K.

    Didn't most Boxing industry people predict 500k or so? Not sure why this is supposed to be shocking or surprising.......

    It doesn't have to.The Mayweather-Berto purses alone were guaranteed 36 million!Showtime and TMT took this right on the chin.Looks good on these carpetbaggers.:lol:

    And yet Floyd still walked away with a minimum 32million guaranteed purse. What a failure he is lol

    Showtime really taking big losses ... 6.7 ppv buys between Canelo and pac fights alone...the berto fight could have sold 8 ppvs...showtime is doing just fine

    That's the only reason why they didn't make a big fuss about it. They still weren't happy about it though. Neither Showtime nor Al Haymon.
