Why would you need investors for Mayweather vs Pacquiao -Arum shut up

In case there's potential for more money to be made. This Mayweather-Pacquiao hype has captured attention from all sorts of rich groups/individuals.

 

It takes a lot of money to put on a fight like this before a penny ever comes back. Its business. TR and GB have their money in this and that, invested in fighters and so on. Its business, no businessman likes to spend their own money.

 

HBO is all the investor needed...it's Arum spin and nothing else

 

Bob the big fat slob is the very prob ...Floyd wants it Pac wants it everybody wants the fight exept for bob......he wants to keep it in the house then he gets both sides of PPV and everything else ...even if the fighters make 50 mil bob only has rights to half of that cuz Floyd is his own so Bob figs he don't want to cash Pac in just yet ...thinks he can get a few more in house fights before Pac maybe gets beat by floyd ........in a nut shell

 

Floyd V Oscar was the biggest fight in boxing, and I didn't hear a peep about how oscar and floyd needed to sit down and find investors from signapore or africa. Arum is full of ****.

 

i'm not a businessman but this makes a lot of sense. why risk you own money when you can use others money? this is why arum is a top businessman/promoter.

 

I will invest £15 if they set a date.

 

iirc, there was an asian bigtime who wanted to put in $100m just to make the fight. that's good business for a promoter.

 

But there's more to it than that. For instance, venue? Who will pay them the most to have the event at their house? Jerry Jones perhaps? Who knows, that's why they need to sit down and figure it all out. Bring the most possible money to the table for everybody. An event like this is so much more than just the actual fight.

 

from what i understand, money for these big fights will come from ringside ticket sales, PPV and closed-circuit and maybe some from MGM or vegas itself. big fights like that of pacquiao and mayweather pick-ups the Las Vegas economy for that day so they always wants those big figths there.

if an investor wants to get a fight of this magnitude for economic reason in their own country, they would have to pay more and it would be an added income for everyone, promoters and the fighters aside from the PPV.
