why dont they have 24/7 for any other fight except PBF fights?? i mean i know those fights where big but i think hops and calz is a good enough match up for a 24/7. so far that is the best fight of this year imo. ohwell i gues when floyd fights DLH and hatton again they will have a 24/7.
For some reason, I thought with the overseas outlets, it really did a lot more. I can't claim to know how much the actual viewership was, but I believe the 800k is just a us number.
And then you got cheapos like me watching it at a party with 50 other people..and sports bars selling it and paying those licensing fees.
Plus the sopcast folks.
DLH does seem to win the PPV wars no matter how little he fights or how irrelevant he really is
it old 850k IN AMERICA. If you add the UK ppv sales it sold 2.2 million ppv buys. It's just another pathetic attempt by 25 to downplay how major Floyd's fights were last year.
Floyd's crazy ass family was the drivin force of 24/7. Without the Mayweather clan the show wouldn't be the same. I would like to see one on Nard and Joe C though.
Hopkins-Calzaghe 24/7 is not worth it from a business standpoint.
The fight is on regular HBO. Sure you can get better ratings from the money spent to produce 24/7, but it's different than PPV sales. An extra 100,000 PPV buys is an extra $5.5 million in revenue.
his fights are kinda boring. they need a 24/7 or it wont sell...
mainstream HBO viewers are buying a soap opera when they purchase his fights.
did you his last fight?
Why is Hopkins-Calzaghe on WCB and not PPV..... #1 it's not 2 athletes in their primes or at the top of the game. 2, Calzaghe wouldn't sell any.
Mayweather's had the 2 biggest fights in the past few years.
A Cotto Margarito 24/7 would be boring as fuck.
Hopkins Calzaghe should have had one and Mosley Judah probably should have one too considering that is gonna get like no buys lol.
I wonder if it could be contractual, you know mayweather claims the 24/7 thing was his idea and HBO took it up. That could possibly explain it.
Ps. Look for the winner of cotto vs margarito to get a shot at mayweather in nov/dec of this year, provided he doesnt lose or get injured. Mayweather is all about building up a fight to make the most money, if cotto beats marg, that fight has to happen and mayweather will have another shot at another million home PPV for the 2nd year running.
the only fighter Floyd can get a 1 mill PPV buys with is De La Hoya. the hatton fight only got 800K.
I'd actually like to see a Cotto-Margarito 24/7 even though Bob Arum dissed it and said it wouldn't happen (even though that probably has more to do with Spanish being the dominant language than anything else).
Hopkins-Calzaghe would have been worthy of one too. I know it's probably time consuming and requires a lot of resources, but I agree with you that HBO needs to do the 24/7 series for more than just Floyd Mayweather fights.
