3 Million Buys?

[Pretty Boy Greg]

One thing I am 100% sure that PACQUIAO CLOTTEY will sell more then 1.5 millions.


Floyd could sold more then 1 million with dance partner JMM,and JMM had all country behind him to buy PPV.

Floyd said that Mosley is not PPV attraction and that JMM is bigger attraction the MOSLEY.

if you had more points I would bet you pac and clottey dont do 1 mil

[FLY TY]

Pacquiao s last fight 1.5 millions

Floyd s last fight 1.0 millions

and Mosley s last fight is what 300 K


CALCULATOR.COM!

manny's last fight did 1.25, and that was with cotto. mayweather did 1 with JMM.


now way in hell does manny-clottey do 1.5, and no way in hell will manny-clottey do more than mayweather-mosley.


you're spamming the site now.

how are buys calculated from the theaters though? thats probably where i'll watch it as well.

why not watch it at home with all the coupons they have? i'll buy a 75 dollar drill if I can get the fight for free...

heavweights

highest grossing non-heavy fight b/t 2 black americans in recent yrs was taylor/hopkins 2 with a little over 400,000 buys.

Dude, I'm pretty sure Mayweather-Judah did better than either Hopkins-Taylor fight, but the truth is this; between 2000 and 2006 if the PPV didn't have DLH or Tyson in it it wasn't selling more than maybe 350,000 or 400,000 PPVs.

Now, if the PPV doesn't have either Mayweather or Pacquiao in it; it probably shouldn't be on PPV. But it's funny to me that you're making such a big deal out of non-heavyweight PPV fights involving two black American fighters. Between 2003 and 2006 they were seven or eight that did numbers in that 300k-400k range. You had the three fights between Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver, the two Hopkins-Taylor fight, Mayweather-Judah, Hopkins-Tarver and I believe Hopkins-Wright did numbers in that range, but I may be wrong on that last one.

Point is, you had plenty of non heavyweight PPV fights involving two Blacks that did good business. Yet, you're on here insisting that there isn't a fan base for Black fighters.

The theaters are separate from the PPV buy rate. I believe they're calculated within the closed circuit revenues, which tend not to have much effect on the PPV numbers. Closed circuit revenues for big fights are usually a fraction of the total gate.

no, mayweather/judah (~<400,000) did not do as well as hopkins/taylor II. it did better than the 1st hop/jt fight, but not the 2nd.

you still didnt refute any of the examples that i posed in my previous post.
why wasnt SSM a draw? where are tim bradley, chad dawson and paul williams' fan bases? how come floyd cant sell out arenas in his own transplanted home town?

fights b/t two non heavy black americans can have pull, but not enough to put it anywhere near 3mill. as boxing becomes more and more of a niche sport, ethnicity plays a huge role in developing fan bases and generating buys. the latino community is a huge portion of the boxing viewing audience, if they dont have a horse in the race or for whatever reason dont have as much interest in either main event participant, then the buy rate cannot be maximized.

1.6-1.8 Mill

Pacquiao vs Mayweather?? THAT could push 3 mill buys

I read somewhere that the JMM vs Floyd Theaters shows made up for only 5% of the sales, but this fight will be in 400 theaters as opposed to the 150.

PPV obviously is going to be the bigger pie, but adding the extra theaters "might" push the percentage of sales up more.

I'd rather party at the crib with the crew. Bring alcohol, pitch in for the PPV, food will be provided, **********s (LOL not really).
