Under a million is what dan rafael is saying, he says he has two inside sources. That can't be confimred for at least a few more days or week or so.
I don't think Showtime does a good job promoting, HBO is better and reaches more people. Yeah Showtime had a Floyd documentary on CBS but the ratings were terrible...I don't think CBS is a good place for boxing promotions...kind of an old people TV channel lol. Also I don't think many people knew of Guerrero and/or thought he had any chance at beating Floyd. Possibly Pacquiao being out of the picture could hurt a little bit and Canelo not on the undercard as originally planned may have hurt a tad as well.
I read that in order for Showtime to "break even" they needed to sell about 1.1-1.2 million buys since Floyd got a guarantee of 32 million and all the money they invested. So while under a million isn't terrible it's not really good for Showtime.
Canelo fans you may be in luck cuz I think this may pressure Showtime/Golden Boy/Floyd to fight Canelo next. Fighting the Devon Alexander's of the world aren't going to really cut it, not if Floyd requires this kind of money anyways.
