The current PPV subscription is $49.99, and there was a prediction that they could reach 1 million buys at max, so let's compute.

For 500 thousand PPV subs x $49.99 that's 24,995,000 USD, and 49,990,000 USD if they'll reach 1 million PPV buys.
With that amount, I think Manny will earn more than $5 million, so he will likely make $10 million to $15 million.
Correct me if my estimate is wrong.
Your estimate is right but if they make around $50 million in PPV you think the fighters will make only $15 million, what about the live gate and they usually make millions as well and especially for higher profile fights the gate money would be huge and it would be around $4 to $8 million and more for the live gate in big events and i am sure the fighters will be earning more than that, usually the PPV share amount is not revealed most of the time.

"I'm sure that with the community's efforts, in regard to development of the area of virtual assets, Ukraine will not only be able to compete on the global crypto market, but also become the leading example for other countries."
Of course, it's too early to say for sure, as there's no legislation that passed on the matter yet, but what are your thoughts on this?
This is the situation with other countries as well, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a new market and you cannot expect every country to come out with rules and regulation, the government has to take initiative and study the concept and if there are influencers in the country then they can support the government in trying to understand the concept of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and then they need to frame a law and it all takes time.

As the Delta Variants of the Coronavirus pandemic has forced some countries (Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh)  back into  lockdown, my word of encouragement to them and the rest of the world is to keep hope alive. In the end humans would win because we always do. Aside these please observe strictly the covid-19 protocols. You wouldn't want to lose a family or friend due to your own carelessness. Stay safe.
The problem is that the world is struggling for almost two years and it is hard to even advice anyone that everything will be alright in due time because even the scientist have no idea what is awaiting as the virus keeps on mutating and i have a doubt whether the vaccines that is available right now will be effective for future mutations and there is no end game in this pandemic and it is really frustrating.

Probably because the grave that he/she has digged is already too deep for him to be forgiven so he just makes himself crazy even if he is already wrong about his predictions, I want to see this person still saying the same thing when the prices are already on the 100k USD price.
He should be hiding in a grave by now as the market started to rise and hopefully he will come back and change the title so that he will not look like a junkyard dick  Tongue. If you are in the market for a long time then you will have an idea how the market will perform and the price was having a good support around $30k for weeks and if that is the case you cannot expect the market to go down unless there is something that could push the market further down which was highly unlikely.
885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should i believe a person who said"my trust wallet get hacked" ? on: July 24, 2021, 08:19:48 PM
Recently, it was discovered that many people's wallets were stolen from their blockchain.com accounts, and many others had the same experience. It is recommended not to back up the password to the same computer or a computer connected to the network. Hackers can easily steal through some online networks.
The major reason for these is that they enter their pass phrase to some phishing sites and that is how majority loose their account balance and you need to be careful where you enter and you cannot even trust random searches in search engines because there are advertising links that can even replicate the legit site, so find the legit site to official sources and i usually bookmark them rather than relying on search engines.

My pick for the card is Hannah Goldy, Sijara Eubanks and Elise Reed to go to the distance,  Adrian Yanez and Randy Costa hopefully not going the distance, Miranda Maverick, Kyler Phillips, Cory Sandhagen and TJ Dillashaw i am not expecting the fight to go the distance and i am hoping TJ Dillashaw to perform well as he is back in his division and it will be a good test for Cory Sandhagen.

Sri Lanka will have to work very hard to win against any of the weaker teams in the team. At the moment they needed to play a series against a team like Bangladesh, Afghanistan or Ireland. A team like India is a very strong opponent for Sri Lanka. Indian B team is much more experienced than the players of Sri Lanka's main national team.
Bangladesh is not a weak team if they are playing with their full strength team and Sri Lanka is also not playing with their best team against India and they were trashed in the first two games but they were able to defeat India in the third match when they rested their main bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar which was available for the tour and their batting collapsed after getting a good start, so you need to give credit to the Sri Lankan bowlers for restricting India.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 23, 2021, 05:08:36 PM
Just a disgusting batting lineup. In the first match, Mohammad Naeem and Soumya Sarkar performed remarkably. So everyone expected a good performance from them in the second match. But today when the team needed the two of them more, they did a disgusting performance. With such an irregular performance, Bangladesh will not be able to win the series against any big team.
Bad day for me, India is loosing the match which i made a bet and they changed the team and i see some changes in the Bangladesh team and they lost the match, it is hard to make a bet on cricket before the match as they experiment with players when they win the series and i will be cautious from next series onward's as i do not want to loose these bets because of their experimentation Roll Eyes.

153/3 to 225/10, that's how Indian batting collapsed!

A tremendous bawling performance by the Sri Lankans. As a result of Sri Lanka's outstanding bowling display, India's innings was restricted to just 225 runs. Sri Lanka still has a good chance of winning today, even though it is not an easy chase for them. It is important to expose Sri Lankan players to new talent, so that they can experience their glory days again.
This is how bullshit happens, i placed a bet on India to win expecting them to whitewash the series and they made major changes in the team and there is no way they are going to win this match without their main players that played in the first two matches, sadly i had to cash out at a huge loss after India started good and then loosing all the wickets for 225 runs which i did not expect.

Although they managed to win only one match, none of their defeats were one sided. And that gives them hope. Pakistan has performed at a level much better than teams like Sri Lanka and South Africa (which recently lost an ODI match to Ireland). Outside the big 3 + NZ grouping, Pakistan seems to be the strongest team. And in UAE/Oman they usually have home advantage, because when Pakistan was unable to host matches, UAE used to be its home venue. But do they have a chance to win the world cup this time? It's a difficult question.
Since the World Cup is taking place in the UAE Pakistan will have an advantage as you said and their spinners can trouble any batsman like they did against England in the final T20I and even though they lost the match, it was a close match. I watched the highlights because i thought England would win easily but how come they dragged till the end and made it difficult and if not for the missed catches i seriously think Pakistan would have won.

~
I feel Pakistan have no pressure going into the T20 World Cup because they’re not contenders for winning it, and hence they’ll be able to play their natural game and if they win matches then it’s added benefit for them. Furthermore the venue of the World Cup will support their team, hence I would not judge them based solely on this series.
Pakistan will not have any added pressure and if they play freely they have a chance to compete against any team.

Nowadays players maintain great level of fitness and it is not unusual to find 38-39 year olds playing international cricket. Along with Mohammad Hafeez, another player who maintains a good fitness standard is Shoaib Malik. For the batsmen and spinners, it is relatively easy. But that is not the case for the pace bowlers. Wear and tear from heavy workload means that most of them retire by the time they reach 35-36. A few who surprises me with their determination are James Anderson of England and Peter Siddle of Australia (although the latter no longer play international cricket).
Usually Asian teams are not known for their fitness level but it is good to see players like Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik can match with any players even in the shorter format.

~
I agree with you. At least Pakistan tried and fought till the end, I appreciate that. It's too early to draw any conclusions just after winning or losing a series. The T20 format is the most unpredictable, any team can beat any other on a given day! Although England is playing great cricket right now, their weakness against slow bowling, especially in the middle overs, is something that needs to be addressed.
If Pakistan could trouble them in England with their spinners then they will struggle in the spinning wickets of UAE. Pakistan can be a dark horse in the upcoming World Cup.

Pakistan made less run in their innings and also they do not have the bowling line up to defend this small target.

Overall it was a bad series for Pakistan. They have lost both the ODI and T20 series and it will shatter their confidence before going into T20 World cup. They should have shown better performances specially in T20 matches.
The 3rd T20I was a close match, i thought England would win easily but Pakistan fought till the last over and if they could have held on to their catches we might have had a different result but it was not a one sided match and it was entertaining till the end. The find for England was Liam Livingstone who performed well throughout the series.

~
There are a lot of positives that they can take from this tour. And for the T20 world cup, they definitely have an advantage, because the matches are going to take place in UAE and Oman, and the players are well suited to those conditions.
Yes the spinners dominated the third T20 match and Mohammad Hafeez proved that age is just a number.

Pakistan only managed to score 154 runs in their 20 overs. Rizwan scored 74 and held the innings together but are these run enough ?
I don't think so as we have seen 200+ runs in the previous two matches.
With a strong batting lineup England has even though all of their players are in the team they will win easily, Pakistan surprised with one match and that is more than enough to expect from them and in this match England only need 61 runs to win in 54 balls with 8 wickets in hand and if Pakistan had a potent bowling lineup they once had then i might have given a chance but not anymore.
893  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC broke through 33,500 USDT on: July 19, 2021, 09:35:30 PM
maybe this is what we need to face this whole 3rd quarter because we will be seeing some good action from the start of 4th quarter and until year end.
The market is idle for the past few days and even i do expect that this will be the trend going forward till the end of this quarter and we might see another big rally by the fourth quarter and end the year at an all time high or new to the all time high valuation and then we might see a correction. We can only speculate but that is what i think that is going to happen unless there is huge investment coming in or any hype in the coming months.
894  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are MEME Coins A NEW Trend on: July 19, 2021, 08:55:18 PM
Investors probably are just looking at the price pump potential and just neglect the high supply which would make it impossible for a coin to rise to a big price. Sometimes because of the hype, people tend to forget to do the basic research when investing, and thanks to them whales are making easy money while they just blindly follow.
This is exactly the sole reason why new investors are looking for coins with penny valuations and once there is a huge hype they believe that they could make a huge profit, these trends will happen once in a while and once they understand that these shit coins will not develop further and once the market goes in correction mode then those who jumped into those coins will not dare to invest again.

 Most of Asia’s pitch spinners collaborate. But I would have kept India and West Indies ahead if the World Cup had been held in India. Although the spinners will get more benefits on the UAE pitch, the pitches are not like the Indian ones. On a pitch where pace bowlers perform well enough. So I don't think the chances of England winning the title are less than India's.
If you think the spinners will have an advantage in the upcoming World Cup then how can you include West Indies as they do not have any world class spinners and if you think their experience in the IPL will make them perform better then there are players from England Australia and South Africa playing for them and they can adjust accordingly.

It's good that you can look at this pandemic in a positive way because after all there must be positive and negative sides,
with this pandemic indeed many people do activities at home and of course it makes them bored,
therefore not a few people are also learning new things in the midst of this pandemic
There is no positives in a fucking pandemic, there is no job and once who are working are not getting their salary on time and if you are having a loan then you are doomed and there is no way to know when everything goes back to normal, so there is no positives but the priorities you had before have changed drastically and that includes the mindset and people learned to adjust and follow order.
897  Economy / Speculation / Re: Repeating the price cycle every 4 years on: July 19, 2021, 05:45:21 PM
This 4 year cycle is not a necessity, but indeed an economic principle made for the stock business or trade business in other words, it is said to be a 4 year period. so it's only natural that once there is a big market price correction, because this cycle returns to the bottom position again.
This is the first time i am hearing there is a cycle in the stock market but it depends upon the performance of the company and since you said i need to check whether there is a cycle for the stock market because i did not notice that till now but the reason everyone knows about the cryptocurrency market is because every 4 year we have a halving in Bitcoin and we all know the market will rally because the number of coins in the market reduces considerably.
898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Huge gains and still holding ? on: July 19, 2021, 04:11:35 PM
It could be greed, but some of us just happy to hold it or maybe in situation that make us cant sell it at all (locked on stake or no fee for transaction).
So, just happy with any condition, dont mock anyone who didnt sell because if all of us is sell it could suffer bigger dump.
If you are confident about the project then you can hold for the next 10 years then no one is going to laugh at you because it is your money and your choice what you do with your investment, from my experience i am not investing in new projects because the huge loss i encountered with some of the projects in the past and even if invest i will not hold for a long time as i will book my profit in the short term.

Everyone has different craze and the NFT market has opened a market for anyone who is interested in arts in the blockchain and i was watched a few and even i was surprised with the way it was selling out fast and some are bidding them as if they own something like a Picasso painting and i am curious to know how long these trend will last.
900  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What would the ideal cryptocurrency ecosystem be like? on: July 19, 2021, 11:26:18 AM
I totally disagree, it's like a monopoly and very far from what blockchain technology is trying to achieve. and there is no ideal ecosystem in the crypto market because all will always be competing. there will be no leader who controls the ecosystem, all have an equal chance of being successful.
There are many projects that replicate the main core projects and there are many trying make it a monopoly like what Binance is doing replicating other projects and they are making a ton of money and they have the backing to do anything else and we need decentralized market place and projects and the market will determine which one will succeed and the future depends upon decentralized market.
