hbo made a smart bussiness move.

how did they LOSE 12m for the ghost fight ? please use facts. not what you want to think.

the gate, ppv's, merch combined you think its actually possible to lose money on a fight that brought in at minimum 870k to 1.1 depending on who you believe.

esb members go with 870k while sho says 1.1. i have no idea nor care which is true, either way big money was made

 

completely agree, but 1 fighter had been making north of that for years now

 

There is no way that fight did over a mil with all the competing sports events going on

 

I don't see how people can not understand this. You can't guarantee a guy 32 mil and there be money left over after cable/satellite take their cut and all other expenses paid etc. from a fight that sells 850k PPV's. The numbers don't add up.

 

:deal

 

how about you go and search the internet for the articles that have the breakdown where they lost 12 mil? I didn't just pull that number out of thin air. Dan Rafael had an article about it.

 

that # is utter bull****. only sho could confirm what was gained or lost. any other entity is bs lip service. and anyone losing money is not promoting it.

****, the merch and sponsors alone could cover most of the gaurantees.

we have ******ed ignorant wanna be businessmen on here.
dont be a fool, any sane person knows that in the contract sho made that they could get out if it didnt do A B and C..

get a clue, sho owns boxing now and is making a friggin killing

 

:rofl atsch

 

Only show can confirm no no that's not true ..Show can cover up but there are people who monitor this stuff .

 

obviously you dont have the slightest clue where all the money comes from for these events. **** the mgm probably pays floyds guarantee for bringing in the high rollers who lose 100's of mills that weekend

 

you mean the same Showtime that wouldn't release and then after weeks tried to lie about the PPV numbers for the Guerrero fight :huh

:roflatsch

 

there are people who do what ?
they have no idea whats going on without seeing the dozens of contracts written up. stop the nonsense.

NO ppv losing money you meatballs

 

how could sho try to lie about their own #'s ? what did all the cable companies come together, do a recount and go public ?
STFU you meathead

 

Come brotha you can't be this naive ..Showtime is taking a hit if it doesn't crack a mil
