Links please....

Floyd vs. Marquez only did 400,000 ppv buys?
After the filling of irs tax of HBO last january, Brad Cone discovered that the the real hbo ppv of the numero uno number one reached only 431,505 with a gross sales of 21,553,675 usd only 10,776,838 usd were pocketed and taxable by hbo sports.

So why gbp and hbo reached one million buys? was it manipulated?

But The real scene revealed that it was not manipulated at least the number who watched the fight, Indeed over 1 million fans paid to watch or shall we say forced to watch the fight.

GBP included and counted the movie theaters as ppv buys although it wasn't significant numbers at all because it only generates 9,563 paid viewers in 170 theaters with average payment of 7.49 that grossed only to 71,626.87

The big contributor of the 1 million buys are the bars and closed circuit viewing all over the country, and some of the viewers intended only to drink beers to their favorite bars, but discovered there was an additional 1.5 dollars per bottle in order to watch the fight live.

GBP has only registered 1,520,454 dollars grossed in bars and closed circuit viewing as taxable in their irs aplication. And 603,636 paid to watch or no choice but to watch the fight. There was even double or even more than triple counting if the customer drink more than 1 bottle of beer. But GBP included those numbers as ppv sales. Of course a ppv sales but not hbo ppv worth 50 dollars.

I doubt it will still work nowadays...
I'm even doubting now the mosley-may fight will reach a million.

Causal fans got burned the last time and most of the casual fans thinks mosley is way too old and already past his prime.

one thing I know in Pacland, Brad Cone is known as "NOT RELIABLE SOURCE" ...

IMO....floyd can say that he gets millions in PPV but NOY BY HIS FAN BASE!!!

DelaHoya-his fan base were the cause of "HIS" millions regardless of high heels or not.

Hatton-his fan base brought from across the pond with there chants and songs.

JMM-his fan base because of US mexicans that wanted that "1" on his record and because of cinco de mayo. That excuse of his "rib" being injured was to extend the match to a holiday.

SO....once again....THEY WEREN'T HIS FAN BASE!!!!!!!

You still don't get it do you lol. Whether they buy to see him win or buy to see him lose. THEY STILL BUY IT!!! If Pacquiao could learn this concept maybe he could do more than 700K!!!

[PensionKiller]

I think 800k woul;d have been good TBH. 700k is ok for me

Maybe the lack of 24/7 and the fact that Joshua hasn't had a PPV before affected it. Maybe 24/7 could have given the extra 100k but it's not good, or bad for me.

[pasawayako]

LOL, floyd-baldomir ppv didn't even reached 400,000. Baldomir is much more popular than clottey.

[pasawayako]

Does floyd fight a no name opponent that reached a 500,000 ppv buys? Even Zab judah who is 10X popular than clottey and as popular as floyd they couldn't even reached a 700,00 ppv buys.

[lb.4lb.]

Yall haters need to lay off this kid, 700k is not a bad number.. Floyd would have a tough time getting those numbers with Clottey. That' real. I just hope Floyd does not demand more than 50/50 against Manny or that fight will never happen.
