Money ain't so money

Quote :

According to Dan Rafael and Kevin Iole, Floyd Mayweather's bout with Robert Guerrero is going to result in a loss for Showtime, coming in at under one million buys on pay-per-view.

No surprise as Floyd was lazy with the promoting this time and Canelo wasn't part of the card.

The blessing in disguise is this will probably force Floyd into making the Canelo fight happen in September.

Know your role Farmer.

Charging $70 also didn't help matters.

No official PPV #'s yet for Floyd but 2 industry sources tell me they look bad (under 1M). We'll see. If true, heavy $$ losses for Showtime

@danrafaelespn 7 May

If Mayweather PPV indeed does under 1M that will mean heavy $$ losses for Showtime. My sources tell me break even was about 1.1 or 1.2M buys

@danrafaelespn 7 May

Floyd, whose $ was guaranteed, did VERY little media. As someone in biz said to me 'his last impression wasn't supposed to be his 1st.'

@danrafaelespn 7 May

Don't underestimate this if PPV did as bad as I've heard: Pacquiao's loss hurt it. Make no mistake. Without specter of May-Pac less interest

Yeah I thought that was insane.

I put it here because I wanted it here. Not by mistake.

It doesn't matter where you wanted it. It's still wrong.

You're opinion. IMO there is no boxing section. My thread, it stays here.

Your opinion is still wrong. There is a boxing section and a shadow on the MMA board gets the larger traffic

Traffic? LOL what traffic? I think all 5 of us can live with it here. Move on.

Still wrong.

I can live with that. Move on.

Maybe later.

I didn't know it would offend him by putting a Money May PPV buy thread in the Main(MMA) section. But apparently it did. Oh well his fit was short lived.

Sometimes it's the little things that drive a man off the brink when he's already there.

LOL yeah I have no room to talk. Far from innocent there.

Too funny.

Surprised this set it off when so much else didn't.

I think the devil made him do it.

He is still MONEY. Who cares what the numbers did he was guaranteed $32 million for this fight, he didn't need to promote he was still getting his.

He got his, but did the promoters get theirs? I bet they didn't get what they wanted.
