    Ask the other guy. I didn't make that statement.

    Either way, paying a guy such a high guarantee and tons of money on production an marketing, he better pull in a good number.

    HBO has a far more stable business model for longevity in boxing. They have set the standard for decades. You cannot simply throw money at a problem and hope it goes away or magically self corrects like Showtime.

    After 3 fights, they will be at approximately 4 million buys, maybe more depending on Maidana numbers. That's averaging approximately 1.33 million PPV sales per fight. (The 6 fights prior to his Showtime contract, Mayweather had averaged 1.4 million PPV buys)

    OP is an idiot. It's a 6 fight contract. The "average" actually matters for the bottom line. If they average 1.3 million sales per fight for the entire 6 fight contract, I don't think Showtime will be complaining.

    You're such a moron it is hilarious. Stick to pushing your fruit cart dude, that's all you know about business and numbers.

    Please explain how 4 million+ PPV buys through 3 fights is a bad number?

    Again: explain why 4+ million PPV buys through 3 fights is a bad number?

    And being called stupid by a complete loser and ignoramus like yourself is a compliment. Same goes for your idiot friends.

    Do you have any idea how much the expenditure for the Canelo fight was in comparison to the ghost fight ?
    and yes it is a bad number when showtime was expecting more...

    Explain why an average of 1.33 million PPV buys per fight is a bad number? That's approximately where Floyd's average sales were for the 6 fights prior to his contract with Showtime.

    You can't, because it's not a bad number. You've been exposed, again, for being a complete troll and moron.

    Showtime has all the best fighters as well as the young guns on the rise.

    All HBO has are old foreigners.
