The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

can they not just fight in an already made outdoor stadium?

 

The gate is not as lucrative as PPV buys, no matter how big Floyd and Manny are even when they come together getting 4 million ppv buys will be very hard.

 

They could fight in the cowboys stadium and charge a fortune. It would sell and the PPV would break all records, dont kid yourself otherwise. obviously 5 years ago it would have been better but casuals dont know that!

 

Fight at Wembley Stadium - 80,000 and stick Brook v Khan on the undercard then you have the Sky Sports PPV monies as well.

 

I agree it will be big but currently I believe 87m is the highest ever split between 2 fighters. Floyd v Canelo beating the De la hoya v Mayweather 77m (52m Oscar - 25m Floyd)

but to take it to 150m they will need to sell big we talking - $50m gate, 3.5-4m ppv buys.

the other alternative is to charge $99.95 for the PPV then they only need to do 2.7-3m I think that's what they will do because they know whoever wants to watch it will pay it.

I think Floyd takes the fight for $100m I think that's why he offered Manny $40m knowing about 140-150m in the pot.

 

I just hope it happens next year probably the absolute last chance.

 

I think if it was really profitable I'm sure an investor would of tabled a big bid, the only thing I could see is something like the UAE putting the money up and happy to take the loss just for the profile of the country and attention to Dubai since their famous for that blowing $20m just on fireworks they may possibly pay $200m for this.

 

may and pac aint gonna pay 50% tax :bart

 

bobs stadiums has unlimited seating bro... thats why its taking so long to build

 

just heard last night on televisa(enrique burak) that negotiations between oscar and arum had been going on, and the fight is almost a done deal for 2015, supposedly there will be 2 fights one promoted by oscar the other promoted by arum , televisa is business partner with golden boy and they are a serious network really close to oscar, is the first time i heard them mentioning this fight in years and i dont they will be talking about it if it wasnt true...

 

Do you have the breakdown on how floyd got 75M for the Canelo fight?

 

You could sell this fight out in a Buddhist monastery!

Easily the biggest fight out there period. No other boxer is as big or well known as Floyd and Pac.

 

who gets the first fight tho.. theoretically speaking there is a huge chance the second will not gross anything close to the first

 

apparently both fights will be on showtime PPV because of floyds contract and most likely oscar takes the first fight and arum takes the second, but keep in mind that they also have canelo-cotto and that could be part of the negotiation...

 

No, has to be custom made apparently
