Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Mosley Buyrate Chatter Builds For 1.2 Million

[megas30]

No doubt, but so did Mosley and Marquez contribute just as much to Mayweather's PPV numbers.

Yes, i agree....absolutely, Mosley and Marquez deserve credit- not because they don't bring in a million sales, but i am pretty sure these guys, Atleast, bring in a 100k-200k buys. The fans of Manny and Floyd seems to have bigger ego than their fighters. I watch both fighters since i love boxing, but i really don't like the bias stuff.

The thing most of u guys are missing out on is- many ppl including myself, are willing to skip out on the sideshows put forth by Floyd and Manny. After what they pull at the negotiating table and the back and forth dramas, most people are just exhausted. People want to see them fight each other, so after the negotiating fell apart people are subconsciously boycotting them fighting no one else other than each other, so i am not surprised by the relatively low numbers each fight has produced post-negotiation, to the fight of the decade.

Pac vs May will be made, there is no other fight out there, atleast no other fight anyone wants to pay to see.

These are the same cats that celebrate Pac's measly 600,000 with Clottey, but 1M for Floyd is low?? 1M is success, so what if they hoped for more or tried to break records, 1M is all good regardless.

1 mil is good for all american fighters?? Imagine if Pac is an American.....*****s owned

[chinoy]

i honestly thought it would be at least 1.7 million judging by the exaggerated 4 M prediction of Schaefer.....i guess he is far worse than Arum

1.2 - 1.4 M PPV would make 50-50 negotiations easier for Pac-May....

[ShoulderRoll]

Pac and Cotto 1.2M vs May and Mosley 1.2M. Pac and Clottey 700K vs May and Marquez 500K. Yes 500K is the real numbers for that fight.

Let me fix it for you:

May and Mosley more than 1.2M (wait and see)
Pac and Cotto 1.2M
May and Marquez 1M
Pac and Clottey 700K

In my opinion in the first negotiations shouldn't have been a 50/50 split. If you take into account post Del La Hoya fight numbers against the same opponents. Mayweather vs Del La Hoya hold the record for PPV sales 2.5 mill. Pacquiao Del La Hoya does 1.5 mill. Mayweather Hatton does 950,000 PPV sales, Pacquiao vs Hatton does 850,000 PPV sales and it's not a matter of whose fans tune in to watch Mayweather fights, the fact is that they are tuning in to see their fighter fight Mayweather. So if Mosley fans brought in 600,000 buys last week end, trust me they would not have paid to see him fight anyone else, so either way we know who the draw really is. Also take into account that Mayweather is the only fighter that broadcast fights in theaters, we know that this will effect PPV sales. But either way with 1.4 mill and the Closed Circuit sales I am sure that no money was loss. And I doubt the issue that will prevent Mayweather Pacquiao from occurring will be the split. It will likely be the same issue that ended negotiations last time and that's the drug testing protocol. So you chose who you want to blame for that, but either way being that 2 fighters just participated in USADA testing with no problems, Mayweather now has more leverage and Pacquiao's image will be negatively impacted if he refuses to embrace the same testing procedures Mayweather Mosley just participated in.

60/40 split for pac no blood test. LMAO failure of a ppv number based on the early estimations from schaefer and other ppl, and from you *****s the numbers are a failure. good numbers in general though. lol.

[flint]

mayweather won with the numbers and he will win the fight too. easy work for the real p4p king floyd freaking money mayweather.

[Laborer]

can't believe are arguing about ppv data between the Philippines and puerto rico! PPV are relevant only to the promoters, producers and boxers' purse. arguing which country has more ppv sales is just idiotic.
