Mayweather is a trending topic on Twitter, on google trends and being on the front page of yahoo.
I'll go out on a limb and call this PPV a success... they'll make very close to 1million.
All this, thanks to the marketing, floyd's finances, the urinator, and the weight controversy.
:luvbed:
I dont think it will get close to a mill.
500K sounds about right!
It's pretty much confirmed. At minimum, according to Kevin Iole who is at Yahoo Sports, the fight pulled in 900k buys.
Kevin Iole on Twitter says the PPV buys were incredible:
KevinI - "Mayweather's PPV number is astronomical. It may exceed 1 million, but definitely will reach 900k. Should be announced officially Wed or Thur"
He also added:
"No. It's Mayweather. I've heard from some good sources since last Tweet that it may even be as high as 1.6 million"
But if this does very well.....then Floyd fights the Pac/Cotto winner and does huge numbers....we'll never hear the end of it from Floyd himself declaring himself the most famous person to walk the earth since Jesus.....
And he'd still manage to blow off all the money LMAO
i'm gonna stick with my 500k-600k prediction, but if this fight does over 750k it says a lot about floyd's drawing power and hbo's marketing genius. i for one will be very impressed
