Mayweater/Judah: 350,000
Mayweather/Baldomir: 325,000
Mayweather/DLH: Well over 1,000,000
Mayweather/Hatton: also over 1,000,000
Before DLH & Hatton, when he was supposed to be the DRAW, why couldn't he get those fights over the 500,000 mark let alone the 400,000's? I can safely say that the fight against Gatti weren't any where close to the high numbers he request, as far as "if it doesn't make money it doesn't make sense" IMO he hasn't made sense for quite a while, I guess he just needs help from the real attractions. That's my opinion. Before you nutthuggers say anything, you were probably the few who bought out ot see those fights, I may just be a fan, but I don't throw away my money away on fights that are not worth it. Especially when a majority of the time the fight is shown for "free" the following week on HBO. By the way, the PPV figures came from HBO, thats right, HIS company as far as calls it. I hope it doesn't turn out like Philty Rich Records, still not mainstream, have never heard of one of their "artist".
From the people working behind the scene that has nothing to gain or lose after conversation with HBO Mark tuffet.
Sorry, but that sounds too vague for me. Let me know when you have an actual source or a link.
who fuckin cares about PPV fuckin numbers. It's pathetic that we are even engaging in these kinds of discussions. It truly is. PPV fucked everything up.
New England Patriots: Nah NY Giants, step yo PPV game up and maybe you can challenge us in the superbowl son! Could you imagine? Sounds ridiculous, but it's exactly the state of our sport.
Thanks to the man in your avatar.
You hear 225,000 from the people counting the money and don't believe it, so where did you come up with 160,000 buys? There is no official commission to track these things. Where does the credibility of the lower number come from?

No I dont see a link that you provided, bigpoppapump had a page up yesterday about the judah fight doing 160,000, but where is your link bhahaha
You idiot, the 160,000 number was something Floyd and his number 1 bitch Ellerbe came up to keep making excuses not to fight Cotto.
so where does the credibility of the higher number come from? His OWN Promoter Bob Arum? who waited weeks to announce the "numbers"? Mayweather did more than Baldomir...Jeez
It always takes weeks for the numbers to be counted. Who else is going to know except the promoter and networks involved? The fighters usually get better payoffs if the count is higher, so why would he lie about it for his own ego but at his own expense? Once again, what is the source for the 160,000 count? This isn't like TV ratings which are announced to the public.
I heard Cotto/Judah did 160,000 and Arum and HBO were reluctant about releasing the figure to the press. When they did it was 225000

yeah and baldomir/judah brought the crowds and everyone bought it because of them :rolleyes:
sometimes people on boxingscene...jeez
but the people who were there at the mayweather baldomir fight left even before the fight ended. mayweather dont bring the fans.
My name is BOBBY0409 get that, BOBBY0409, and the only reason I put up those numbers was because "MONEY", which by the way he earned because the real attractions as I had put it, is the only one BITCHING about puting up good numbers like the the DLH and Hatton fights.
-BOBBY0409
All this shit about PPV #s is gettin old. There's enough demand from boxing fans and media for PBF to face Cotto that he'd make big money 4 sho. Probably 8 figures. Don't matter what Cotto's #s are. All this shit is just a smokescreen.
what numbers did cotto do against judah? mosley?
