The 94k Wembley show profit?

[Foggy]

Believe it was on radio 5 or talk sport the promoter of Fury Whyte saying the show did ok, so what sort of profit would the promoter be looking at for this sort of event?

Depends on what the fighters are getting. Frank would have been happy to cover his costs on this one I would have thought.

[Dioufy]

Knowing Warren it probably made a 15 quid loss the entire show and he will attempt to sue Whyte for £2m damages because of it.

[Foggy]

I can’t believe this would run at a loss or break even, what would be the point in doing the show

[Floydendizer]

10 million on the gate + PPV money 30 million = 40 million , purses for the show around 32 million so at the end of it all should be making a nice profit .

How do you get £30m from PPV?

41 million reasons why it might make a loss.

[forcefraser]

The purses are not the only costs involved.

Putting on a show.of that size will have many costs involved.

Plus on the PPV side I doubt the whole amount goes to the promotion

Exactly. The VAT man takes his cut, BT their cut and I’m sure Sky will take a cut from any orders through the red button.

I'd be staggered if the promoter gets more than 50% of ppv money. It used to be circa 45% but I was told it has shifted a bit.

For FW to get 30 million there would need to be 60 million in sales which is well over 2 million buys. Do you think that happened?

What about the other overheads? Do you think Wembley just lent him the stadium for nowt, etc?

"Doing okay" to me means he's not going to blow his balls completely.

Oh sit back and prepare to be educated Tommy.

Already there’s a guy who’s calculations have the PPV sales at 2 million ffs.

[mickey1975]

Worldwide tv rights, sponsorship, etc, but as said, who knows.

I just googled what it costs to hire Wembley, no definite answer but some guys suggest for a football match its 250-750k and Wembley get 10% of tickets sales.

Imagine the mark up they make on beer over the 5hrs you are in there… and remember you can drink in your seat unlike at footie.
I would guess on average every person had 2 pints each (me and my wife had zero but the girl next to us had 4 Smirnoffs for 27 quid).
That’s 15 x 90k (probably making 6 quid profit on every drink).
Looking at half a mil profit on beer sales alone.

easily! I've not been for a few years but it was a fiver for a pie and maybe £6 for a pint of shite lager. Fcuking awful place IMO takes about 2 hours to get on the train which is literally outside, I'd rather watch it at home

[tony1234]

The undercard must have cost 100 quid tops but if you can't make a profit on that show then something is wrong

Was 7-50 a pint and like I say… the bird next to me ordered 4 Smirnoff small alcopops served in plastic cups glasses and it was 27 quid!

[jimmystone]

Wembley is not paid for in full (yet). There's at least two more years to go. Interest per years is about 3 million quid, plus capital which is far more, obviously, plus ongoing expenses. They need to charge plenty for drinks, etc...

[high tower 1]

It’s a Queensbury show. Of course it didn’t make a profit.

[Glass Joe]

If you never hear PPV figures then it didnt do well as expected. Everyone told me it was easy to stream compared to a SBO show. Anything over 800k is good.

Did you see the footage of the people behind the bars filling up empty cups from the overflow area and selling them?
Pure filth bags.

brilliant.

How much did Balfour Beatty make on Strathclyde Unis refurb anyone? Net profit not gross please

[Frostieballs]

I think it was more important for FW to beat Eddie than turn a huge profit. He’ll be relieved with a break even. We saw the pressure he was under in the build up.

On another note, the promoter won’t get a share of beer money.
