I know haters will come in here and flame, but this isn't me just bullshitting or throwing stuff out there. My girlfriend and my sister both work for Directv (at different locations) and they keep telling me everyday about the amount of people talking about the fight or calling in about ordering the fight. At school, everyday I hear groups of people talking about the fight, and I haven't seen a fight get this much buzz since Oscar vs Floyd. Even when I running around town all this week Ive heard people talk about this fight everywhere Ive went. Don't be surprised when this is the highest selling fight since Oscar vs Floyd.
BTW this is coming from someone who dislikes Floyd. And while I slightly dislike, my sister and my girlfriend can't stand him and are annoyed by it at work. Only mentioning that to let people know I'm not a Floyd nuthugger... but someone just keeping it real.

Gotta give you your credit, I didn't even think it would do that, I was expecting no more than 600k.
I think its just that their a little bitter that manny-mayweather didn't happen from the jump and/or are just wishing the fight to tank out of hate. Thats the way it seems to me from reading the forums
which is stupid. I mean, yall really dont want to see Pacquiao-Cotto or Mayweather-Marquez first?
Even they both come off those fights with wins...the hype will be HUGE
much bigger than them fighting right off the bat.QUOTE]
exactly right.....they're building the anticipation
no offense but i can no longer take anyone on these forums serouisly when they talk about floyd. everybodies knows someone who works somewhere. not saying it wont do well, i personally hope it does, i mean cmon im a fan of BOXING not just fighters, but when people talk about floyd i take it with a grain of salt.
for the record i live in minnesota and the only thing anyone has said here is there lucky the ufc card is crap. a couple of my friends are excited since its in a theater and ive been hyping it up since i saw it announced during hatton pac, but no ones been talkin about here, but that doesnt mean too much since i dont know anyone who is really into boxing here. although i asked jose, a kid in one of my classes, if he was gunna watch it and he didnt even know what i was talking about. guess it was kinda racist to assume just because hes mexican hed be watching it.
like you said, you live in minnesota.
Mayweather is such a ****ing moron. He could have waited 1 day!!! and fight PACQUIAO! that would have done easily 1.5, he's a stupid moron. This fight is going to bust because the real fight people want right now is Pacquiao-Cotto.
yea....sure....wait another year and....
**** it. no comment. stupid post. :chairshot
I work in a Liquor store & I got a different feedback. Very few really are talking about it. I don't see the same Hype as the Pac-DLH & Pac-Hatton. Even some of the diehard PBF fans I know is not really that much interested. They don't think this fight is a Cant-Miss fight.
We always buy the big fights but me and my Cousins agreed not to buy this fight. I just want to hurt Floyd's PPV numbers. My Mexican neighbor who is a JMM fan will not order the fight & just watch from the feed direct From Mexico via Satellite dish.
My Prediction: Only 500k buy.
didn't kno liquor stores are the places to go to get up on all the boxing news.
I can tell everybody now there is a BIG buzz over here in the UK about this fight. Everybody talking about it as if its Hatton fighting. Didn't realise Floyd was so big over here
Same here, gives me a group to watch it with!
I think the Hatton fight really broke Floyd over here to be honest
Yeah ure prob right, but a lot of boxing fans I mingled with respected b4 Hatton too. Enjoy
Yeah there is big buzz about it. Kind of strange - one the biggest boxers over here is not from here. But i'm not complaining. :boxing:

why is it that Mayweather can sell a ppv but not a seat?
this thought has come to my mind plenty a times.
Now the economy, before the level of competition. Mayweather Jr. has been the main event for the past 9 years and I think that has something to do with it.
I'd love to know what the UK buyrates will be. They're promoting it quite a lot over here.
yeah sky have the advert quite abit on there sports channels. I know a load of my mates arnt going out because there staying in to watch mayweather. And they arent big boixng fans.

He's not stupid....He's scared. He knows Pac will give him the fight of his life and he's not ready for that after a 2 year layoff.....Hell I'm not going to be the least bit suprised to see JMM beat him by decision. But smart money is on Floyd by UD.

Floyd is NOT a draw....Don't know when people are going to get this through their heads but it's a fact.....This thing won't even come close to 1 million buys.....because Mayweather is not fighting someone more popular then him for the first time in a while.
i bet it does less than 650k. just a thought, no hate.
I agree and thats being generous IMO.
