I bet the fight does pretty well. People will definitely be tuning in to see Floyd and the fight will get mainstream coverage. The 2 months wont matter. Most casual fans didnt know about Pacquiao-Hatton until a month ago.
Once 24/7 starts, the fight will become a lot bigger. That program builds up a fight like no other.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Mayweather at the press conference said that the 24/7 crew was filming him as he was speaking. Can't wait to see what Mayweather will do/say...but the fight isn't worth buying, though. I'm gonna' find somewhere to watch the fight. :boxing:
24/7 is one of the best things to happen to boxing... Making a fight that only two months away having 24/7 helps promote it tremendously... but anyways i'ma go with 750k

I think more people will stream this fight or find a bar or go to a friend's house to watch it
Possibly pulls in 500k buys at most.
The fight will do less numbers than Pacquiao-Hatton...it's all in the mainstream appeal. Pacquiao is known as the guy who crippled DLH and Hatton is known as Mayweather's last challenger in a memorable event...put them together given their styles and popularity, you got a great fight with huge PPV numbers.
Floyd's been out and he's coming back against Pacquiao's rival, but the only ones who know that are fans who follow the sport and Filipinos. This isn't going to do much.
Put Floyd in there with Pacquiao...and you'll give everyone: boxing fans, casual fans, and everyone in between something to look forward to and talk about.
Pacquiao-Hatton did MUCH better than I thought it'd do, which is great news for the sport! For two foreign fighters to do such good numbers in the States is badass!
I initially thought Mayweather-Marquez would do about 500K, but if they promote it right for the next couple of months I can see somewhere around 750K.
Pac/Marquez did like 410K....this was when Pac wasn't that big of a draw.
Marquez/Floyd will do over 500K. And boxing has picked up some steam as of late with the mainstream. Pac/Hatton did WAYYYY more than I thought it would. This PPV could surprise us.
Hard to tell with only two months to promote.
Shouldn't matter, according to most of yall, Floyd is the biggest draw in boxing even retired. He runs websites and all that shit.
The biggest draw in boxing should easily break the milli point with someone that lacks star power as an opponent.
