You guys are not thinking logically at all :lol1:
Floyd came back from an even longer 'vacation'/retirement in '09 to face a Mexican with MUCH higher name value amidst the initial Pac-Floyd hype and did 1 mil buys, which was a lot more than most people expected. Then again, that fight was allowed a lot more time to build up since Floyd claimed he hurt his ribs and it was delayed.
No way in hell this even comes remotely close to 1.4, might not even break 1 mil. Please, someone explain to me how Ortiz will garner more buys than either Marquez or Hatton, 2 guys with big fan bases and high name value? Are all those buys coming from Kansas? :thinking:
Time to get realistic.
Those guy's fan bases were mainly outside the US though, therefore they make no impact on the US PPV numbers. Mayweather-Hatton actually solde roughly 1.4million PPVs here in the UK (impressive when our population is 1/5 of that of the US), add that to the 900k for the fight in the US and Mayweather-Hatton did about 2.3million buys in 2 countries - not bad.
But yeah I think this will have a great 24/7 and will sell > 1million.

Coo, lets do it
Damn, now I have to plan 2 boxingscene funerals. Already got JRosales penciled in for sometime after the Marquez fight, and yourself in September. I'll send you off right though, no worries, it'll be a spectacle. :boxing:
yes he will at this point everyone wants to see maywaether as he's become a "legend" so people will pay to see him lose or to see if he still has the skills. i know i would out of a morbid curiosity though i still think he's a ducking coward

What do you wanna bet this breaks 1.3 mill?
Mosley's not a big name, May and Pac both carried their respective fights with him. Mayweather draws 1 million easy on his own, just look at the Marquez fight. Marquez is a great mexican fighter but he's not ppv material. Ortiz will do just as good if not better then May/Marquez did.
1.4 mill+. Floyd coming back after a year and a half to fight a mexican on Mexican Independents day. I bet Floyd and Victor are gonna be arguing over twitter for the world to see. 24/7 and face off are gonna be the best ones yet. The build-up to this fight is going to be tremendous I don't know why anyone would think different. There will be alot of people tuning into to see Floyd fight a southpaw and see if he has what it takes to handle pac.

I think it will do between 1.1m and 1.3m. Ortiz has low name value, but he has his selling points which can be capitalised on; namely his age, his last win, his 'vicious' style and his charisma.
this time he is on his very own ortiz has basically no fan base its gona be tough.will mayweather do his 1million ppv buys again?
People know Ortiz, he's not a complete nobody, that Berto fight helped A LOT too. He's gotten air time on regular ESPN and Deportes (Interviews)...He's not a ppv draw technically, but who is other than Pacquiao and Mayweather...that's it. He's a name and the added attention to Mayweather's "return" to the ring helps. And lastly, it's Mayweather, when has he not sold a million atleast?
And don't forget Mayweather is fighting a MEXICAN, like the day after Mexican Independence Day...fitting? yeah just a little.
Also think about the 24/7 footage. the idea that Ortiz lost, and has rejuvenated his career after more or less quitting (or the ref stopping the fight, not sure which one will be played into the show). HBO will also play out Ortiz's life, people love new faces, Ortiz is a new face....he's a new story, we've heard Mayweather's story already, it's about Ortiz's life and Mayweather's "desire to return to the ring." I don't see how this formula doesn't work...:boxing:

;10687278']Funny one of my girl's bestfriends is a gay black dude like me, and he loves Pacquiao too. He looks like Carlton from the fresh prince of bel air.
Cool story homo, btw, I'm not homophobic as long as you don't get near me. :D
No, this one right here: :D

I said your kind (HOMOS) not Filipinos. :439:
Most of the gay guys here are Filipinos...in fact, 2 of them live on my block and they're huge Pacquiao fans.
It will sell 1 million PPV; California alone has more than 300K homos not even counting San Francisco. Usually, homos stick together and support each other.
Hmmm, San Francisco is literally packed to the raptors with Filipinos...

Mayweather is relying on Mexicans once again to help his numbers. Of course he picked a MEXICAN on MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY. Floyd knows he needs all the help he can get at this point in his career.
this time he is on his very own ortiz has basically no fan base its gona be tough.will mayweather do his 1million ppv buys again?
when was marquez or mosley ever a draw????? marquez attracted barely 300k against diaz!!!
mayweather will EASILY do over one million be around 1.2 mil i think
