How many PPVs would Mayweather VS Pacquiao do?

i dont care how many buys it do but i do know im one of the buys

now with this recession getting worse and worse.... i'd say 700k in PPV.

Rawr, You have good taste. I gave my gf (at the time) that Tyson photo. Nicely matted and framed. She loved it. On to your question: No, The World Awaits did not have the anticipation of May-Pac. The benchmark that I use for May-Pac is the Whitaker/Chavez fight. Two non-mainstream fighters, but a fight that the boxing community wet their pants for. And THEN the casual fan buys in. Both guys had legitimate claims to p4p. Even their sizes are similar. W-C was fought at 145. And 145 would be a great weight for May-Pac as well. Whitaker vs. Chavez did 740K. There are about 1.5x as many cable boxes now. I figure the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, with improved marketing and promotion, would do 2x what Whitakr-Chavez did. On the high side. heh yea a beast among heavyweights..i don't know any (non)boxing fan that wouldn't appreciate that tyson flick. exactly my thoughts. i couldn't recall a significant historic fight since the whitaker/chavez bout. a fight the boxing community will enjoy as much as the casual fans. shame whitaker/chavez weren't as globally recognized to the mainstream then as to pacquiao/mayweather now. anyways i didn't think that mayweather/de la hoya had the same anticipation of this build-up of a pacquiao/mayweather. however with the state of the economy i doubt it'll surpass 2.4 mil.

500 Billion. I mean, give or take a few billion. I am factoring in the countless other lifeforms which would pick up on Earth's transmission in order to watch that fight, btw.

Defintly over a million easy.

It won't beat Mayweather/DLH because of the serious recession that we're in, but if both Pac and Floyd are impressive looking in their next fights, it should do around 1.5 million if promoted right.

1.4m - 1.75m somewhere I reckon no Oscar, no Tyson, no record

My guess would be between 1.6-1.8million PPV buys.

How about if we ask Mayweather the question? He's pretty good bullsh.iting with numbers.

"One hundred BILLION PPVs" i lol'ed. question is... did mayweather/ de la hoya get this much hype before it was even signed?

What's the current record? it would do better than pbf/cotto.

Let me tell you, with the right promotion May-Pac would do VERY well in the UK, It's all my mates talk about, whens May-Pac happening? As soon as that fight is official, i'll light my shoes on fire, just for a laugh

can they win their fights first

1.5 mill. Maybe even less.

1.5 million...or slightly more

It will probably beat DLH-PBF. PBF-DLH sold that much because of DLH's Popularity plus the hate on PBF. PBF has very few fans but People will buy PPV to see him lose. Among the current POTENTIAL opponent for Floyd, Pac is the Most Popular and the one capable of beating him!!! Anybody who will hear about thei fight will be intruiged & will buy this fight.

I think Mayweather - De La Hoya did something like 2.9million...but something tells me Mayweather - Pacman can break that record.

It will definitely reach well over 1 million.
