PPV
My good friend, Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports, has stated that this past weekend’s pay-per-view event, featuring Mayweather and Mosley, did approximately 1.1 to 1.2 million buys. But I’ve been told that the numbers that will be released will be closer to 1.4 or 1.5 million. It can take months, even years, for all the pay-per-view tabulations to be added up.
Most of the time, it takes at least four or five days for networks and promoters to release numbers. Regardless, any promotion that does over a million buys has to be regarded as a success. But I don’t think that the outlandish projections of Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer help that perception since he was quoted as saying that he felt this fight could do, not three, but four million buys. http://www.maxboxing.com/news/main-lead/margarito-returns-is-he-a-pugilistic-pariah

The early numbers are the accurate numbers. The longer they wait to release them, the longer they get to manipulate them.
1.1 sounds about right."
HBO is a part of a publicly traded company, they could run afoul of the SEC(not to mention the IRS) very quickly if they cook numbers in their 'final report' of ppv numbers. I'll take the 'final ppv' number that they publicly release to stockholders/investors as a relatively accurate number.
Definitely but more especially to Richard schafaer who made those outlandish prediction/numbers, He overrate Mayweather's selling power and Mosley's pulling power.
he overrated mosley mosley pulling power,
Good numbers (about 100k short of what I expected) but they do bring Floyd back down to Earth a little.

how?? he never said 2-3 million all mayweather said is he is avg 1.3 million homes,
it makes floyd look bad because that fat loud mouth promoter kept going on about 3 million. the numbers are fcking brilliant floyd has done but whoever cares about numbers will always compare them to the 3m predicted.

Well I didn't mean Floyd personally, just the perception of his PPV drawing power.
does the cinema numbers count in the ppv? if they do then that isnt right
what it shows is that pac and floyd are about equal draws right now.
You expect floyd to do around 300k more due to him being american. pac does better on a world wide stage tho, so hopefully it calms everyone down. especially some floyd fans who keep going nuts about floyd (not guys like S.G who keep it real but the retards who post crap)
yea but does Floyd count his theater numbers as ppv numbers? I mean if he does thats straight up lame.
for the millionth time..theaters count as closed circuit numbers...
