Early Mayweather/Mosley PPV buyrate projection is....

[And Still]

...1.4 - 1.5 million buys.

I have a friend at a cable sompany. She works in the VoD group, but she always provides me with estimates.

She said the final nums were a bit softer than last week's projections.

She only has one region of the country, so they project nationals using a formula. It's an inexact science.

If the numbers went crazy in one region, or certain metro areas, it could be a bit higher...or a bit lower. But she said to expect numbers that are generally in line with Delahoya-Pacquiao.


Just some info. Don't ask me for a link. Ignore this info if it has zero credibility with you. No need for snarky commnets.... just sharing what I have.

Son of a ***** it better sell more than that or I lose my bet

[jrosales13]

That is a great successful fight. I know people wanted higher and your source might be wrong bro and it might be higher. I hope it is higher. But, if it is not and is lower then what some people expected. It doesn't change the fact that anything around the mili mark is a huge, HUGE success.

That is slightly lower than expected for me, but people should not knock it if that is what it ends up being. That is great numbers.

id say a lot of people bought cause on twitter it was atrending topic all day saying ppl were going to buy id say 2.5mill

[And Still]

2.2 million buys

She said that she doesn't see that AT ALL. I projected 1.8, and she told me that she didn't see 1,8 mil.

There was a lot of sports on free TV, apparently.

I hope she is wrong. I want every PPV to do big nums.
