@MichaelBensonn @ShowtimeBoxing Even if his claimed $30M for trunk sponsor (EtheriumMax. com) is true, that's still only $55 M...

[Richard Kontas @RKontas]

@MichaelBensonn @ShowtimeBoxing Hmmm....that doesn't quite add up with the widely reported 1 million PPV, and Floyd's 50% of PPV take. I'm not a math whiz BUT it comes out to $25M - NOT $100M even with 'extra incentives?" $100 M is clearly NOT realistic..what am I missing?

Zuckerberg has never answered question of what he knew when (as expertly asked by @aoc). Board member Marc Andreessen has never answered. The SEC didn’t go after the directors. Nobody was ever held to account. So shit like this is just inevitable

@AEHALL1983 @carolecadwalla Journalism isn’t just acting as a speaker for the government, it’s listening to what is said and providing an analysis

Yes, MZ is still clearly in his Filter Bubble (that's just so 2016). Here's his latest spiel, and a great alternate take on it. Thanks Nikhil!

Although his overwhelming number of voting shares mean MZ will shut down the effort - it's time he 'reads the writing on the wall' as it were...
