ceo time





Could still break the buy rate record too:

From the Showtime press release:

THE ONE: MAYWEATHER VS. CANELO — ranked as the highest-grossing pay-per-view of all time, with nearly $150 million in U.S. pay-per-view revenue reported to date. The news was announced today by Showtime Networks Inc., a division of CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS), in conjunction with event promoters Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions.

The SHOWTIME PPV presentation of THE ONE surpassed the previous record of $136 million generated by Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing event in 2007.

Preliminary reports from distributors show pay-per-view buys projected to be 2.2 million. While not fully reported from all distributors, the total buys could challenge the existing record of 2.48 million pay-per-view buys set by De La Hoya vs. Mayweather. The initial report immediately following the De La Hoya vs. Mayweather event in 2007 was 2.15. THE ONE has already exceeded the previous #2 event, the infamous World Heavyweight Championship bout between Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II (1.95 million, 1997).

Total PPV buys are astronomical. It just shows that when you match up 2 fighters in boxing people actually want to see fight, it can / will do huge numbers.

[skarms]

Tiger Woods is.

[hegemon444]

Tiger Woods is.

Mayweather was highest paid athlete in 2012 over Tiger Woods.

In addition to that, he is alpha as phuck and acts however he want and is not castrated by sponsors.

And after his agent and a host of other people with brains take advantage of him, he'll be left broke with jack shiit to show for it like most athletes

[DrSlam]

Deserves it.

That much dedication, sacrifice, and success in your trade until your the best in the world by far should be rewarded

[gotrice33]

[Beastman09]

[BENNAYBOY]

he just runs around the ring taking pot shots for 20 minutes once a year....

[HankScorp1o]

Nope. He is a Nevada resident, so he does not pay individual state taxes. Also, you think he doesn't have a team of accountants and money managers to reduce his tax liability?

Uncle Sam ain't taking half.

[gotrice33]

he just runs around the ring taking pot shots for 20 minutes once a year....

yea man easy as fuark. everyone should go do it... brb just running around a ring for 20 minutes once a year guys. no training necessary.

[Ultraviolence]

Ho Lee Fuk.

[DrSlam]

I dont know why retards dont understand this. Nobody pays to see a nice guy get beat up.

People literally pay their hard earned coins just for the chance to see Mayweather lose. He capitolizes off of this. For people not aware, he is actually a good dude

[bealsjt]

he just runs around the ring taking pot shots for 20 minutes once a year....

Hmm, currently undefeated as a professional, a five-division world champion having won eight world titles and the lineal championship in three different weight classes. Rarely loses a single ROUND in boxing, let alone the fight.

That doesn't come from 'running around the ring taking pot shots'

[Dang3rZone]

And after his agent and a host of other people with brains take advantage of him, he'll be left broke with jack shiit to show for it like most athletes

Lol another person who knows chit about Mayweather. Mayweather is one of the smartest athletes out there. Hes not some hoodrat.

[drvillain]

he just runs around the ring taking pot shots for 20 minutes once a year....

lol nice try. Floyd stands right in front of these guys, and doesn't get hit.

[Casser12]

I like Floyd. He is the hardest working athlete out there. He is disciplined and has immense focus. Props to him, he deserves it, because he has earned his way as one of the greats. He is also respectable. Also gives his opponents respect after the fight.

- Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.

- I've had boxing gloves on since before I could walk and been in gyms all of my life.
