Tyson vs Holyfield did 2m buys...
And that was 13 years ago.
Richard said this fight could do 3m.
Im saying 2.3-2.5 is more realistic but even that would breakthe record, This fight is bigger for americans than any other fight in over a decade.
Agree/Disagree,Discuss.
I think this fight will bring back alot of boxing fans that have defected in recent years.
Maybe that guy who started watching UFC 5 years ago remembers when he used to want PBF and SSM to face off and he comes back to the sport and becomes a hardcore fan again.
I disagree.. if anything brings back casual fans, it is not Mayweather.
His style is not casual fan friendly. I have a lot of friends who seemed interested due to the way he hypes his fights but where turned off by the lack of excitment in them.
If anything brings back casual fans it's excitment like that of Mosley, Pacquiao, Cotto, Margo.. shit, boxing was doing fine without Mayweather and though he is an asset to have because he has a strong black american following he really isn't a necessity to have. Boxing was much more entertaining and we saw some mad brutal fights that we wouldn't have seen would he have been around.
agreed, boxing and segnificance wise.. de la hoya vs. mayweather was bigger moneywise though but it really didn't mean jack shit. de la hoya wasn't even ranked.
two top 5 welters does mean much more.

There hasnt a been a fight in the WW division like this in a long time.
P4P 2 and 3 fighters in the sport. In the same weight class.
Lol. You act like he can't be both. And for the record, pbf and shane are african americans. Or are they retarded too? Either they're black or american according to u right?
I dnt wanna turn this into something a Race debate. But what do you consider an african american to be? Why is it that a black man who was born in america and has a family tree that goes back 5,6,7 or more generations is deemed "African American"?
You certainly call all "white" people "European Americans" right?
If your born here you're American unless YOU decided to you are something else by your own virtue.

Burner aka No Ceilings did..
Thats because you brought up ODH being Mexican America. So I said "IF ANYTHING?". This is the biggest African American fight.
For the record: Shane vs. Floyd IS bigger then Floyd/Oscar.
And you saying "we need everything to feel special now a days" was uncalled for.
Who said anything about them being black?
And no im not African American, im american, nothing else.
No ****ing part of me is from Africa. I was born and raised in the U.S.A..So were my parents, thier parents and thier parents.
Does Floyd or Shane repersent anyother countries other than America? Do you see them carrying a Nigerian or Ghannian flag to the ring? Do they wear anyother contries colors? No. They both rep America nothing else.
Now go **** off.
Burner aka No Ceilings did..
who gives a **** about if they are black?
y'all try turning a boxing event into something way different :lol1:
I guess y'all need every little piece of recognition to feel special now a days.. too funny.

reported for racism
Why are you trolling?
Nice try..........
ODH flip flop. Some times he wake up Mexican, sometimes he wake up American. Sometimes is retarded ass is both.

i really dont see this doing 3 mill at all but I do think it'll break the current record which is still saying something, should be a great fight
1.5 is a reasonable number to guess... as long as both Pacquiao vs. Clottey and Mayweather vs. Mosley and Mayweather vs. Pacquiao do more than ANY UFC this year.. I am happy.
Who gives a shit. If anything like I said this is the best between two African American fighters.
This fight does great numbers

Nice try.. he is Mexican American. That's like saying ohh.. but Burner can't be American because he's black.
At the end of the day.. he was born in AMERICA.
You = Fail again.
