Floyd-JMM mismatch "megafight" spent $20 million on fight promotions alone

Slight exageration on the undercard purse there. There was a world championship bout and you think that there was only $1000 split 6 ways? I say 6 because there were only 3 under card fights shown in the UK but Id imagine there were more.

 

factor in the fights seen in theaters..

 

Why haven't you be banned? You are not a boxing fan. I will make sure you get banned by tomorrow

 

Why is your dumbass still spamming about the same ****?

:firedevi:

 

Then you're the bigger idiot coz you still keep on replying where ever he posts...Stop replying, it's very simple really...:hey:yep

 

while you're at it, make sure you get yourself banned too...floydettes are no boxing fan either...:good

 

Why dont you go **** yourself you jackass:rofl

 

There is a word for you..... OBSESSION....

 

please do man, this ***git is so annoying. non real boxing fans don't belong in a boxing forum. he should go to sherdog or some other mma forum.:good

 

Interesting point really. A lot of people think the sales is simply down tot he fighters and the fights but most of it is down to promotion. Spend 1mil on the same fight for promotion and it would have struggled.

It was a good job by mayweather, goldenboy & HBO cause it paid off.

Hopefully other promoters learn from this.

 

Wrong.....the pay per view outlets receive between 50-60% of the fee. The promoters net for the PPV take was around $20 million. I would say that the promoters made about $5-10 million to split.

 

:rofl Ok, how do you spend 20 million on promotion. Just rethink this for a ****ing second. You dont pay sponsors to advertise their merchandising..they pay you. See Floyd with reebok. Then see Marquez with affliction. See everyone with Tecate. GBP did not foot promotional costs which did not cost anywhere near 20 million by themselves. They have sponsors that pay them to advertise during promotions. Yo, somebody drop that dude.

 

HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg calls the expansion of pay-per-view "the biggest economic issue in boxing" and says:

"I can't tell you that pay-per-view helps the sport because it doesn't. It hurts the sport because it narrows our audience, but it's a fact of life. Every time we try to make an HBO World Championship Boxing fight, we're up against mythical pay-per-view numbers. HBO doesn't make a lot of money from pay-per-view. There's usually a cap on what we can make. But the promoters and fighters insist on pay-per-view because that's where their greatest profits lie."

Ross Greenburg. I think it has already been debunked that HBO gets this lion share or even half of the ****ing profits let alone the cable provider that almost gets nothing b/c they are alreay paid.
