Predict the PPV Numbers for 2014 Fights
Canelo - Angulo - 150,000 buys, Canelo's loss to Mayweather hurt him bad because he didn't give a valiant effort and it was less than memorable he looked really bad there.
Pacquiao - Bradley 2 - 400,000 buys, Pac's fight with Rios only did around 95,000 buys or something, A lot of the fairweather pac fans jumped off when he got knocked out by Marquez. The only ones left will be his loyal fans who were with him when he was drawing 325-400k buys at feather.
Mayweather - Maidana - 800,000 buys, nobody I know knows who Maidana is outside from boxing fans. Plus people are fed up after the glorified sparring session with Canelo that was extremely hyped, this always happens with Floyd last time he fought Oscar he did record numbers and his next fight dropped badly because people remembered how boring it was and how he didn't put on a show he fought Hatton and it did 800k buys.
He did huge numbers with Canelo supposedly 2 million, and the fight was boring nobody at least Casual fans didn;t enjoy it they wanted a refund just like with the Oscar fight. Canelo didn't have a shot and Floyd had a stationary target and instead of blistering him and trying to stop him he played it safe as usual.
The fight could do more depending on how they hyped this Maidana up, but Maidana has power but he is as slow as Carlos Baldomir who Floyd out boxed and had people walking out in the later rounds.
Cotto - Martinez - 650-700k PPV buys for this fight. Cotto has a much larger fanbase than Manny Pacquiao does at this moment that is why this fight will beat the Bradley rematch with Pac because Bradley only has like 3 fans and they are his trainer, Dad, and his wife and Pac will have his typical 400k hardcore fans who still like him after he got knocked out. This is also a huge fight for boxing and many Latinos will watch as well as casuals especially the A listers in New York. Sergio Martinez and Cotto will also bring action.
Chavez Jr - Golovkin - not sure if this is going to be PPV but I predict something like 250-300k buys. It will do better than Canelo-Angulo because typically HBO PPV's do a bit more than Showtimes. Chavez Jr lost a lot of fans with his poor showing against Sergio he had the potential to knock him out but didn't throw anything he was high as a kite in the ring, and only threw punches in the last seconds of the 12th and final round. GGG is only huge among boxing fans, casuals don't even know the guy.
Any other PPVs?
