500,000 PPV BUYS are Expected for COTTO-MOSLEY

[Kball15]

"Insiders, Experts, and Bob Arum himself are all expecting a crowd reaching over 20,000, and a PPV audience exceeding half a million viewers."

"A crowd of around 20,000 and a pay-per-view audience of about a half million is expected to watch what promoter Bob Arum said is the best fight on paper this year." - Yahoo Sports



That would be sweet.

Obviouly BOB ARUM is gonna say something like that, but the fact that some insiders believe it to be true as well is gonna be awsome

This fight will be alot bigger then Judah Vs Cotto, Plus the Contender finnally being so great and Calzaghe Vs Kessler being good. Cant but help this PPV sell itself.

I hope it gets more then 500K, Plus the undercard is very good. You have Cubans buying because Of Casamayor,Mexicans Buying because of Margarito,Boxing fans buying because its great all around.

I Dont Give A ****.as Long As Its A Good Fight Who Cares,joy Vs Boy Was The Biggest And A Bit Of A Stinker

I hope it does that well. If Hopkins-Winky did 350k, this fight should do AT LEAST 400k. There's no way Hopkins and Winky have that much crossover appeal--that fight was driven by hardcore fans, and this one features a much, much better style match-up and much more overall hype.

500k is very optimistic, and if they would have "24/7'd" this one, I would say that would happen. Because Floyd-Hatton is getting that treatment, that fight will get around 500k.

If they did a 24/7 for this fight it would sell 200k ppv buys at most. Casual fans would assume these dudes are as boring as their personalities which of course isn't the case.
