    The gladiator outfit means boring. This is Floyd's entrance during the Baldomir fight.

    I heard the remaining tickets are expensive as hell. They need to lower the damn prices on tickets. I heard they already have a 10 million dollar gate.

    It's pretty easy to see why there are still tickets available. The "cheap" ($150 and $300) seats sold out in the first couple of days. But the ratio of cheap seats to expensive seats is ridiculous. There are about as many $1250 dollar seats as there are $150, $300, and $600 dollar seats combined. I don't see how anyone could possible expect to sell 7000 $1250 dollar seats.

    Ticket prices are way to high. With that said it will probablt sell out and do 1.5 million buys or more where the real money is made.

    I think 1.5 million ppv buys is a losing number.

    1.5M buys x $55 per ppv = $82.5 million gross

    Deduct $60M for Floyd (that's what he claimed?)

    Deduct 24/7 production and promotional expenses.

    See it's a losing effort.

    $10M gate revenue is nothing (if it's true). Floyd's share of $60M will eat that easy. Floyd is the most overpaid (and under-performing) boxer?

    He's not getting paid 60 million through HBO PPV, HBO Boxing, or GBP. If he gets that it will be through other companies. I'm guessing his purse for this fight will be 20-25 million at the max. You factor in over 1.5 million ppv buys and HBO Boxing ratings, the event will be a success.

    Those tickets are way too expensive.

    To be honest, you shouldn't have tickets for any event more than 50 bucks or so.

    First off PBF ain't making 60 million he's full of **** more like 25-30 million. 1.5 million is a great number it's a wining effort they will make money.

    I've heard Floyd is bragging $40 million from the fight plus $20 million from endorsement. So Floyd is just talking sh!t as always. :D

    He claimed the WWE was paying him like millions of dollars for is WM pay off. They don't even do that with their top superstars. Money is just his gimmick. He came up with this because he wasn't getting enough attention as Pretty Boy.
