    At $50 it would of needed to do atleast 1.4 million for GBP to turn a profit if Floyd is indeed getting $40 million guranteed but at $70 anything over 1 million buys is a success.

    He was guaranteed $25M. Furthermore, there are other revenue streams besides the ppv.

    International PPV

    There's a lot of factors here to consider. I'd guess an event like this grosses well over $100m even with modest PPV sales.

    1.2 is pretty good, lower than a mil is dissapointing.
