    You are like a ****ing abused woman, you don't know when to get the message and leave.

    What do you think Investors do, they invest to in something to get a financial reward from that event. I can invest in any thing, some investments are complete **** like a gambler investing in the lottery, or someone trying to turn a profit on penny stocks, but they are investments due to a person getting a payout from that event.
    Everything has a name, a label, and those labels have meaning. A person with a JD is very different from a person with an MD, even if they both had long amounts of schooling.
    A partner and a client are two different things and sit of the negotiation table. For example, If I ran a law firm my partners would sit on one side of the table when negotiating payment with a potential client. A client hires someone to do work for them, a partners do work, usually from clients, together whether per job or overall during the life of a partnership.

    You are actually asking this.

    The average cost of college, lets say is $30K Total for people graduating this upcoming May. And lets say with interest it gets bumped to $40K, The amount they earn in their lifetime with their level of college degree is $1M and the amount they would have earned during the same time period without going to school is $800K, so what you do is you add the cost of going to school with the amount earned without a college education, then subtract that total of $840K from the $1M earned due to College to get the real return on investment of $160K. So for the amount I spent at school, I'm getting 4 times the amount back.

    Now is the math exact and will everyone's life work out that way? No, but it does give an indication of whether going to that college for that major is worth it. And it also doesn't take into account the various non-financial returns on it that come with college such at networks, sex, etc.

    A depositor is someone who deposits money at the bank while receiving little reward for taking no risk, unless they deposit more than the FDIC insured amount at which point banks usually offer higher interest rates for that risk.

    A creditor is someone who the bank owes money to regarding an actual bill, depositors aren't in the creditors list because their money is insured, at least here in the states. So if the bank goes belly up they deal with the government and the bank that assumed the accounts of the failed bank. Usually creditors include suppliers who sent supplies ahead without being paid first, workers who have yet to receive their paycheck, etc.

    Stock holders, are the actual owners of the bank. They paid money to buy part ownership of the bank, they were investors.


    His goal was very clear, not getting killed, exiled, maimed, or having his country thrown into more turmoil because of martial law that he started.

    Besides A sponsor can have zero or a few very small logos on an event but still seek to reap a reward. Ask all the relays and walks for cancer, aids, abused women, etc. they have gigantic lists of companies that do this, not for logo placement but for goodwill and looking good in the public eye which helps them sell more ****.

    As I said before in the last thread, If Ortiz got his ass handed to him by Berto, how many people do you think would have bought this fight? He earned his way by having a good back story, being an action star in the Berto fight, and talking just enough **** to get enough idiots believing he could pull off the upset. Was he the star, no. But it takes two to tango and him being there pulls more than say, Jan Zaveck or Anton Novikov being in his place.

    But lets go back to your point, with this attempted dig, if Oscar according to you is 100% responsible for the 2.4M PPV buys, then why, WHY, could he not replicate that number with any other opponent?
