obviously a very interesting matchup, not May, but o well, next year its on anyways, but sumhow i see this barely toppin Pac Clottey, and lets all admit Pac Clottey left fans with a bad taste in their mouth, im go ahead and say this does 800K Max, lookin forward to this tho, Margarito's size could pose sum problems for Pac, and i dont see Pac KO'in Margs, I Got Pac By UD, Maybe SD regardless, too much speed, give ur PPV estimation and Fight breakdown.
clottey fight did 700k.
margarito is a bigger name.
he'll also draw the all important mexican audience.
who knows? maybe margarito-pac would draw in the puerto rican audience too?
there'ss quite a few pr boxing fans who would love to see either marg or pac get ktfo.
I think Manny will get the people who normally want to buy his fights, probably a little less since his last fight was lackluster. I am pretty sure Manny has a large percentage of the Mexican American fanbase on lock~.
I just don't think the fight has the broad appeal to really to do that much more than the clottey fight. Besides about 800k is always pretty good.
im telling yall, Floyd should fight Cotto late this year for his title and then Pac-May would be a mathafckn collosal big fight mid next year, hence the fact it would mean IF Pac wins it would grant him his 8th world title.
Arum is a greedy mofo so the promotion will be decent but not great, definitely not as good as what GBP did for May/Mo.
you have to balance out promotions with returns.
no point spending tons of money when the returns won't be as significant.
arum has good people at top rank they know what they're doing.
arum doesn't mind spending money in promotions just as long as the returns are worth it in their estimates.
if they do a 24/7 and if the fight in the in abu dhabi this fight could anywhere between 1 - 2 million ppvs
2 million is not gonna happen. 1m plus is possible.
if it's gonna be in abu dhabi , how much do money do you think the emirs will throw to hold the fight?
they love combat sports. they spend millions sponsoring submission grappling/wrestling.
the abu dhabi combat championships is one of the biggest grappling competition in the world because of the money the emirs throw into the fights.
when I said this fight will go 1M easy, I did not even factor the Puertorican audience, now I say 1.250M ...
if marg wins , it'll help set up cotto-marg 2. (a fight cotto can win , doubt cotto can beat pac in a rematch)
if marg wins , the cotto-marg rematch will also do huge numbers.
if pac wins , it takes the sting of cotto losing to pacquiao. hey pac is a blown up lightweight but look what he did to marg who is even bigger than cotto.
A lot of PR fans hold grudges.
who do you think pr fans would like to see get beat up more? pac or marg?
If the fight will be held in UAE, then, most arabs in the Middle East, by curiosity, will watch it!
pacMAN fighting outside USA, will certainly boast his superstar status!

Marley's, though I sometimes don't like the writer seem to get it just about right. This could sell. Marg ... bad guy ... loaded wraps ... video of "you'll get your shot" in an attempt to picture Marg as the guy Floyd feared, then Pac ... good guy ... beat up the cheater ... , etc.
Marketed as the 2 guys Floyd avoided ( I'm almost certain Arum would use this angle) , this would really sell.
1M+ is realistic .
700-800 k...

It'll do over 700k, but not too much over that. I can't see it doing less than the Clottey fight right now, the people that didn't buy Pacquiao's last fight will be making up more than the ones that choose to boycott it.
It'll be an all action, 1 sided destruction. The only shot Margarito has is on the inside, but he's too slow to get there and will get absolutely cut up and dismanteled while he tries it.
i might be a little late with this, but margs didn't get his license renewed right? so where would this fight take place? Mexico? Dallas?
I hope Donaire-Montiel will be on the undercard! if it does, it'll break 1mill
