I'm thinking at least 350K first time out of the gate, regardless of opponent. Somewhere around there wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah, but HBO's premium cable. Not everyone has HBO. Oh, I know what you're saying. It's impressive. Hopefully it translates to PPV buys.

It was free on HBO. I think less than a fourth of that group would have paid. They already have the channel though, why not tune in? I think they could get close to 500,000 buys in a rematch though if Taylor is build back up the right way, though.
