I mean yes, technically anything over 1 million or so is "huge" but why do people think this will break records and do 3 million buys? I for one have never even for a second suspected that this would generate any more than 1.2 or maybe 1.5 at the very most.
Yes Floyd is the top current PPV earner but at the same time he needs a big name alongside him to earn that much and Shane has simply never been the hugest earner for various reasons (reasons such as, he's shy and quiet which doesn't market himself well, he doesn't have a whole country behind him like Pacquiao, etc).
So the point is, I'm sure this will do at least 1 million buys, but honestly I wouldn't even be surprised if it did 800k though I'm personally expecting 1.2 to 1.5mil at the very most.
No way in hell this does 3 mill or even close to 2 million or over.
It wont' hit 1 Million Buys. It might do 850-925k
I wish I knew you more..... because I could make a living betting with you!!!
I wonder what your explaination will be when the fight ends up in the neighborhood of 2 Million buys.
Mayweather did 1 mill with marquez........ what do yo think he would do with Mosley
let me bet the rest of your points
Yes with JMM. The same JMM that was Mexico's hero leading up to his fight. He had an entire country in Mexico to go along with the strong mexican fan base to back him. In other words, he has dedicated fans that tuned in to his ppv with Floyd hoping he'd make history.
Shane's popularity isn't at that level. He's a great fighter and has been for quite some time but let's be real. He's not this blockbuster of a fighter(in terms of casual boxing fans) you probably think he is.
I got a proposition for you though. I'll bet you whatever points I have left in another fight. Let's say tomorrow's Froch-Kessler fight. If I win, you take that wack sig of yours off permanently and I'll choose a pic for you to put on a new one... and if you win, I'll give you whatever points I have left if the Mayweather-Mosley fight happens to pass 1 mil in PPV Buys. Deal?
People here always cite the marquez fight as if you forgot the fight was moved on a much later date and on a mexican holiday which contributed greatly to the ppv aside from the fact that a lot of people wants to see if jmm can really pull it off gaining weight and if his piss does really have magical powers.
your stupid for that shit
stupid for what? it's a nice bet and really if I lose it's something I'll learn. Mosley's biggest ppv draw was 950k with DLH in their 2nd fight. Floyd isn't the cash cow he thinks he is. He is NOT DLH.
and if I happen to lose, cool I'll move on and earn some more points.
I'll cover his bets.
you'll cover my bets??
so in other words, if I happen to lose, I still end up winning???

Well I'd have bought it, and I'm from Denmark. But our TV station called TV2Sport has bought the rights to show it on national TV! I'm so happy with this channel, I couldn't be any better! 3 million? Nah. I think 1.5+. It may reach 1.9 million, don't think it even can be compared to Floyd- Oscar.
lol, u only have 300 points, and u do realize its a dumb bet rite???theres no way this fight goes under 1mil buys. even floyd haters on here kno that. lol, u shld back down from this one.

I have no idea what this betting points is but I'm not one to back down, especially when I posted what I thought the numbers will be.
I just see it like this..If Floyd and JMM did 1 mil and change then there's no way I think this fight will do over 1 mil. JMM is backed by an entire country and a solid mexican fan base. Mosley doesn't have that going for him. He's not the draw that JMM is
so as far as the bet thing goes...Count me in...but how does this work?

ill bet u all the points u have that it does over one mil. u do realize thats only 100 thou over the pac/clottey fight. theres no way those 2 fights are gonna be remotely close in numbers.

the point is, i dnt think they need espn to hype this fight. i live in nyc and i was in times square the other day and theres a huuuuuge billboard advertising the fight. its big, trust me.
Yea its big, but i think its because its the most promoted fight ever. Its a great fight and ESPN has a HUGE influence on people. Pac vs Clottey was always on ESPN
Press? I have a question for you....how many times have you seen ESPN give any mention of this fight? I personally havent seen any and ESPN is where most get their sports from
