Mayweather alone, is just not that big a draw......

Not that big a draw but holds almost all the records......:conf

 

Who has sold more than Mayweather?

 

Floyd, earns 32 million guaranteed, and hes not a big draw? while pac slave, fights for 6 million guaranteed? GTFO!!

 

lol @ you guys arguing over ppv numbers. pathetic

 

How much in PPV did Marquez make before fighting Mayweather?

 

I don't get why certain newbies consider discussing PPV numbers an insult of some sort. PPV numbers pretty much decide what future fights can happen and what can't.

 

I believe Prince Naz was the first one to bring in real money to the lower divisions albeit in the middle to late 90s.

Tyson was a massive draw of epic proportions.

Oscar was huge IMO.

I think Floyd is big but for different reasons I.e he has marketed himself incredibly well and picked the right fights.

I agree with anyone who says Golden boy gave him his real breakthrough (money-wise) Floyd hasn't looked back since.

 

I dont know whyfans say anything under 600k.is low ppv, im sure that most fighters and promoters will be more than happy woth 400k

 

His reckless spending will do him in.

 

Mayweather needs to get at least 1.5 million to justify the $32 million guarantee that Showtime is giving him as a minimum for each of those six fights in the contract.

 

dummy ppv numbers are important they will decide who duckweather will fight next showtime will be on his ass if it does bad:deal

 

How do you figure?

 

I'm no expert in this area. But, it probably depends on the budget required to promote and host the PPV event. It would be a financial success if all expenses were covered by the PPV revenue and any other income brought in (gate, concessions, etc) and there was some left over ("profit") or at least it broke even. In addition, attracting new fans and gaining greater exposure for the fighters is part of that success.

 

Could you provide a breakdown of the budget for this fight and Mayweather's deal, to help us better understand why 1.5 mil is the minimum this fight must generate? Exact figures please...no estimates.

 

I don't think anybody is that big of a draw right now.

PPV (and the pricing politics by the big broadcasting companies and their overall bull****) makes sure that average Joe doesn't have the chance to zap on his TV and find some boxing and the prices for the big fights are basically rip offs, so the overall interest decreases, the economics in the broadcasting companies then just decide to rip off the hardcore fans (who'll basically pay anything) even more to balance out the lack of interest shown by average Joe.
