What PPV number would you predict?
Mayweather loves to take credit for the PPV numbers by padding his undercard with fighters like Matthysse, Canelo, Garcia, etc, but I'm talking about none of that so a very weak undercard.
it depends on the timing, i think in prime time uk, the fight will do about 1 million buys, at 4am, it would do about 400-500k imo
but remember, the price would be far less, ppvs in the uk at 15 pounds which is about 25 dollars, so the fight would generate sweet f all
khan vs floyd will happen in the us and it will do around 750k guys like his fight with guerrero did, it may even do less numbers, but I think the fight will be heavily promoted in the uk to try and bump its numbers up to 600k here
think of it this way
for ever 3 uk ppv buys, that will roughly equate to 1 us ppv buy
mayweather needs roughly about 1.2m ppv buys so showtime break even and do not lose money like they did vs guerrero
1.5mill buys i reckon in UK + Ireland. Khan is one of most popular athletes in UK. Mayweather and Khan would do great. If on Sky Box Office. They will promote that fight like hell. I see that fight doing very good anyway
Primetime could also be an option. Khan - McCloskey, Khan -Judah, and Mayweather - Ortiz were all on Primetime UK & Ireland. More recently they had Hatton - Senchenko as a PPV
Mayweather/Khan would break records in the UK.
Mayweather is a elite boxer who would attract a good number of PPV in the UK.
Khan's style gets him alot of fans and there's also alot of rednecks in council houses who despise a british asian doing well so they would claim extra benefits to buy the fight too.
Haaha, so true. brilliant.
They'll save all their dole money for a couple of weeks and buy a couple bottles of cider to get wasted on whilst watching it

:rofl: They don't have PPV there
They use boxnation
Sky Box Office that's what the Khan vs Floyd fight will be on
you have to pay around £20 to watch it so around $40
Could easily do a million buys in the uk alone
why even fight over seas if it will lose you money and why not put on a decent card if a weak undercard loses you money
Manny number always been inflated as it shows with his tax problems
