Mayweather-hatton PPV Buyrate Tops 850K

[THe TRiNiTY]

"The numbers are in. The December 8th HBO-PPV clash between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton generated 850,000 pay-per-view buys and $47 million in PPV revenue. The breakdown was 520,000 from cable and 330,000 from satellite. It was a tremendous year for Floyd, who's bout with Oscar De La Hoya in May generated an all time record 2.4 million buys and $134 million in revenue. All told, 2007 was the highest performing year in HBO Pay-Per-View history with 4.8 million buys and more than $255 million in revenue across eight boxing events. The previous high for HBO PPV in boxing was in 1999 with four million buys and $200 million in revenue. In 2006, HBO PPV registered 3.7 million buys and $177 million in revenue."

......I stole that.

That's a huge disappointment, half of what they were expecting.

[Silencers]

I as well as a lot of people were expecting over 1 million buys. With 24/7 and all the hype for the fight it's quite disappointing.

Does that include the UK buys or how does that work exactly?

PPV numbers

The ppv numbers for the floyd-hatton fight are 850,000. I heard they were estimating 1.5 million i guess floyd isn't the draw they anticipated. are these numbers right?

[msagrain]

you know this has been posted before.

[Contenders]

****!!! I didn't realize someone else posted it! They beat me by 10 minutes! Sorry!

[Southpaw16]

850 000 is still a lot of buys. That is probably the most buys in a non De La Hoya, non heavyweight fight in at least the past 10 years.

I guess it is a disappointment, but that just means too much was anticipated.

Also, good question about the UK buys. I think that is US.

[VIVA MEXICO!!!]

this just shows how oscar was the draw for there fight and we all know hatton did about 800k of the buys for this fight. dancing with the stars didnt help nothing. mayweather is no draw.
