Mayweather vs Maidana Undercard taking form!

1.5 million buy rate figure assumes somewhere in the area of $100 million in sales. Of the $100 million, half is taken by the cable providers, so they are really only working with a $50 million pot. After that, they need to pay the promoter, the other fighter, etc, and Floyd's guarantee. If you're pot is only $40-50 million, those become very slim margins.

That is 1.5 imagine 800k.

 

Floyd's contract is unique in that it's guaranteed by CBS. They aren't losing any money off of that guy.

The Canelo fight had a combined revenue (live gate + PPV) of $150 million. And of that Floyd walked away with 81 million. I dont think it can be broken up the way you think it is.

 

25 million is not enough to cover an event of that magnitude.

 

Okay Ms Jackson.

 

i love watching junior businessmen talk economics

 

I would be interested to know do you think breaking even is even good enough for a company who says it has ambitions of being number 1?

 

same here
i dont think these numbers would even be mentioned if the guys whose numbers are always being questioned would fight each other. a win over the other would trump any PPV numbers or contract amounts

 

:deal


It's easier for haters to talk out of their ass though and make broad generalize descriptions

 

Let's not forget that boxrec isn't all that reliable when it comes to match ups...Great card if it happens but right now it seems the only for sure thing is a Santa Cruz appearance. ..don't get too excited yet

 

atsch people here are excited/will buy the fight because of the under cards not because of the main event ? wtf :rofl

Are you not excited because Floyd is fighting ?

 

Depends on who he's fighting. The world doesn't revolve around Floyd, I just want a good card to justify the price.

 

Quillin.is such a bum
