Manwin: Fabian's Keynote Speech

As he said in the speech, 'they look at themselves as more of a TECHNOLOGY company than a porn company'. He also stated they were looking in the mainstream side for some opportunities, and sharing their software.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristFinally, the more companies he buys and goes public? - The more he can legitimize cash.
Once they get some mainstream diversity, they would be able to pass for a TECHNOLOGY company more than a porn company. Which would allow them to go public or whatever their true end goal is. However, going public has a lot of draw backs, so I doubt they are in any rush.

Yes Paul, he made up the 9 figure loan and instead shit out a printing press and made lots of $1 bills as to not draw attention to the counterfeits.

he has stated multiple times why they partnered with playboy and in the keynote as well. makes sense to me.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristIf the markets were so profitable or a good outlet, do you think Playboy would of sold them? Also, I highly doubt you'll ever see Brazzers type content on the PBC. He simply bought a trusted Adult brand to legitimize his growing empire. The same reason why he gave a speech (damage control) due to his past reputation.Comment

Yep another great Internext speech?
This reminds me of the last internext seminar I went to where hosting companies promised everyone that "illegal tubes" would be shut down, or that they wouldn't host such sites. And everyone went out of the room smiling, saying these guys are all right.
So this guy gets up there and gives a speech about how Manwin is a tech company and really doesn't like pirated content and on his sites there is none, and everyone walks away smiling again?Always looking for trades on Linkspun! Check my Id hereComment

What do you expect him to do? He didn't even start these tubes, he bought them. The industry has changed and you either deal with what's in front of you or bitch on GFY. He is dealing, you are bitching.Yep another great Internext speech?

besides having access to the channels the Playboy brand is much more accepted in mainstream making it easier to get deals done.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristIf the markets were so profitable or a good outlet, do you think Playboy would of sold them?

I'm not bitching, I don't give a fuck. I just find it funny how 1 speech can change the opinion of a guy who was hated on this board. And if you beleive he just happened to buy some major tube sites... guess you enjoyed the speechAlways looking for trades on Linkspun! Check my Id hereComment

some people need to adapt or stop posting here if you cant, since it means you out of businessComment

You guys do realize that MANY studios have TV & cable deals without Playboy? It's not difficult to do if you have the right material and what is acceptable for broadcast. Most companies will shoot for such outlets along side of their hardcore scenes then edit a broadcast version with the soft scenes. Many, many companies do this already.
Of course Playboy will get a few more doors open, but without them they would have been fine if they shot the right scenes, which I'm sure they did. So I don't believe they did it just to get their foot in the broadcast door. It makes more sense to say they just wanted to be a powerhouse in that market like they are in every other market. In that case, you would go after Playboy and Digital Playground. But not just so they can have that as an outlet.Comment

Who are the other 2?
I retired and that's adapting.
We will all find out soon enough or it's a non porn plan. No legit financier puts up 9 figures for things that will happen in 12 months. So we should all just chill and wait it out. This business is too extreme in it's attitude sometimes. One minute Fabian/Manwin is the most hated man/company in porn, then he/they are the most loved.
This is for sure, for many of you, Manwin are competition. Even affiliates.Comment

I agree with that. He said in the video he'd have to find a mainstream venture before he could think about going public, and that is probably exactly what he'll do. Who knows, maybe they'll buy Facebook.Originally posted by Jesus H ChristLook at the big picture. A guy with practically unlimited cash, who's snapping up companies with heavy CC processing, has advanced knowledge in massive CC processing, and the advanced knowledge sewing it all together. In short, "most" of the companies he's buying are irrelevant, accept for post established processing (cake) or public (icing) appeal. It's not that hard to figure out where he's going with this.
Although it's fun to speculate as none of us truly know, but if I were a betting man, and I am, I'd buy his stock in a heartbeat if he went public just so I can hedge against it, if possible. Why?
I've been around the block more times then even I care to remember, but also know, those who can't manage or control their simple energy intake, can never go the true distance. It's usually a sign of much greater problems and what I'd be betting against.

So he gave a speech, made his point, shared his vision and explained in his words how he all did it. He is now the biggest player in this industry by controlling all the chains he needs.
Now as a Tech company with an army of employees, consultants, lawyers and a bunch of shared toilets he now has to connect the dots and monetize all his acquisitions.
The question is what is the rest of the competition (from what is left) going to do? Alliance with other adult companies to form a strong pact, join forces with MW (within LegendaryStats) or continuing in solo mode?Last edited by SZNY; 01-23-2012, 01:09 PM.Telegram: sandroanthonioComment

Would be smart for a few companies to get together on a new delivery method / mega site ala NetFlix. Put some of the older content there, accept that you won't get $30 per month and cross sales out of every customer and enjoy a new revenue stream. Or wait until Manwin is licensing your content up front to get a million $14.95 per month customers of their own.

That's the hard part. The big ones will want to run it, so let them do a buy out or a deal. Still it will be like Princes sharing the Kingdom and lead to in fighting. If they can get past that, it could work.Would be smart for a few companies to get together on a new delivery method / mega site ala NetFlix.

Putting together a site with approx 10,000 scenes, across the 3-5 top niches. With people feeding traffic into tours slanted towards the niche they are targeting. Pricing $14.95 approx, could work. Give affiliates 2 options, keep sending or go.
Or offering a week in this site, week in that and so on for four weeks at $14.95 and let the customer choose what 4 he likes the best. He could even select once in his first choice.
Now can BB, RK and a few others get their heads around it?Comment

People want to have hope. They want to believe people are going to look out for them and help them. But in reality, it's usually every man for himself.Comment
