It ain't doing more than 700K, but that in itself isn't really bad either,

[Ray*]

Like i said before i would be surprise if this fight do over 500K but with the hype the fight got over the last few days i wouldnt be shocked if it did over that.

[Bea5T]

I say around 600-700k

1 mill would be way beyond expectations

[Doctor_Tenma]

600K would be a sucess. It ain't doing 1mill, I know that much.

[Heru]

Taffet and Schaefer look like they know what they're talking about and **** all the other interviewers that chick knows what she's doing.

Anything over a 600k is a success.

[ThePunchingBag]

Doesn't go over 800k imo. I would predict lower but ticket sales to see the fight have been slow so I'm guessing people rather stay home and watch it.

[SuperTrooper]

I think this fight would not do more than 700k buys.

Really? Even with the amount of marketing dollars being pumped in promotion? It would seem like they have a large margin to get back.

I agree, that was actually a very good interview. She covered a lot and it was clear that she did her research beforehand. Sad that the same can't even be said for ESPN sportscasters, whose jobs are to... cover sports!

I say around 600-700k

1 mill would be way beyond expectations

How can you say it's beyond expectations when both Taffet and Schaefer are on record as stating it as a target number?

I will say this - regardless of the final tally, Schaefer deserves all the credit in the world for going full throttle with this promotion. A skeptic will say that was motivation behind his thinking way outside the box, but the fact of the matter is that he hustled his ass off for this one.
