just saw this on twitter if there is another thread about it ill delete im just in awe of the numbers coming in. How this is bad for boxing or MMA the way the event went im just not buying it anymore and I was one of those worried it would hurt the sport. These numbers plus the hundreds of millions watching around the world free on stream its just jaw dropping. If boxing can continue to create stars in America not just other countries like Canelo I think boxing is about to really get a boost of new fans. I think MMA will as well I think alot fans that didnt watch both sports will now at least be casuals of the other at the very least
The Mayweather-McGregor Showtime PPV achieved a minimum of 6.5million buys per @danawhite.
Another brilliant post by a lonely nobody. All my plumbing works just fine. Try getting yourself an education, or at the very least a girlfriend. Learn the difference between a man and a boy.
Lol! And leave my imaginary basement for a girlfriend? What are you crazy? Loser.
if true this is an indication of how our society has fallen... a borderline fixed/rigged circus and undeserving matchup, more like reality TV can generate this much while good matchups generate **** all shows what society has come to. A bunch of WWE and reality TV fans
No it shows the same thing that its showed for over 100 years-no matter how talented you are if you can't put asses in seats.
I would argue the best all around boxers since Leonard have been Roy, Pretty Boy Floyd, Ward and now Loma. None of these guys have been huge draws. Only Floyd did once he adopted the money persona in the ODH fight.
You need more than talent to draw fans.
I don't have a basement, old man, go get a c0ck implant...fuggin ghey b1tch

Everybody that knows how this works know that numbers don't come out for weeks to months.
It true. A number usually comes out relatively soon, but it's not finalized for weeks or months as they collect more data from different places. Floyd vs Pacquaio was announced at 4.4 million aboit a week after and ended up at 4.6 months later after all was counted.
You still following me around like a lost puppy. Go jerk off to your Floyd posters on your basement wall.

Only a fool thought this fight was going to flop.
At first I thought it was going to do bad but then I realized I was reading the opinions of hardcore Boxing fans on a Boxing forum.
This fight was for casuals and the average sports fan.
I think I remember you originally said it was going to do in the low 2 million area.
I'll say this...I never heard overheard so many people talking about a fight as I did this one. I overheard people talking about it eating a a restaurant the week before, the night of the fight I walked into a bar to grab some beer and waiting in line the bartender was asking the guy in front of me if he was watching it. The day after at the gym there were guys talking about it. Next level promotion.
Dude, what are you talking about? You think they look bad? What about going on a social media site and calling out a former retired professional boxer to fight, who Is worth millions of dollars and would decimate you Inside of 3 minutes.
Well let him prove that..i have the balls to try
You could buy this fight:
showtime
showtime app
UFC app
Boxnation in UK for 20 pounds
At bars
In movie theaters for $40
That is a lot of different ways to purchase the fight. That it wasnt just showtime but the UFC as well. Plus the amount of crazy and unknowlegeable UFC fans that legit thought Conor not only had a chance but was going to KO mayweather was what made me know this would sell well.
usual losers salty as fvck
exactly, they act like Floyd raped someone in their family or something

Regardless of the numbers, Floyd fans will act as though they are getting a check in the mail from Floyd the way they celebrate his PPV numbers.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh! Lol
Initially I never thought it'd beat MayPac but their promotion was BRILLIANT. McGregor did a fine job especially. The closer I got to the fight, the better it looked like it was going to do. Everyone was talking about it. You know when casuals on the street are talking about a fight, it's going to do well commercially. The only 3 fights I can remember that happening in the last 5 years in the UK has been May-Canelo, MayPac, Joshua-Klitschko, Froch-Groves and MayMac.
Agreed. It was a better marketing tactic than I thought it would be and that was their plan. They had the most popular fighter in MMA go against the most popular (and hated) boxer and that is all they needed to make a lucrative event come true.
per dana white? how has he become a reliable source? lol
6.5 my arse, real numbers will come out at some stage this year
Regardless of the numbers, Floyd fans will act as though they are getting a check in the mail from Floyd the way they celebrate his PPV numbers.
before the fight, dana was the biggest loser, dana has no part in this at all.
after the fight, dana said thie fight did this much!!
usual losers salty as fvck
why are the Floyd haters posting about how happy the Floyd fans are? I don't get it. evbery other boxing fan can root for their fighter and rejoice when their numbers do good but when Floyd fans do it they think they are getting money from him? he just sent money to Houston for the flood so.... lololol why are boxing fans so angry this fight did good numbers? what should Floyd fans do? really childish behavior on these boards.
exactly, they act like Floyd raped someone in their family or something
why do people say it takes months and months to count up pay per view buys, ffs they're not counting up millions of bags of paper receipts here,
its all done electronically. every report imaginable could be downloaded and be available to view within a matter of a few days to a week, not bloody months.
