Mayweather-hatton PPV Buyrate Tops 850K

[PeROxiDE]

how the hell you figure that? Even now after all this exposure I doubt he sells much in the states, unless its against de la hoya.

How many people watched him fight castillo?

You cant compare these fights, if I believe correctly Hatton Castillo wasnt even a PPV, so a comparison is ludicrous. You appear to be clutching at straws to prove Mayweather was the draw, sadly you are wrong.

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?

old news..

[ИATAS]

I agree with that. Except I think Hatton can sell over 200,000 with somebody else besides DLH.

You know, he might be able to against the right opponent. Maybe Cotto/hatton or pacquaio or someone just as big.

People need to realize it's about match ups. oscar/mayweather sold 2.4 million because it was a legend vs the best in the world. If oscar fights a mayorga, it's not gong to sell as much, and if mayweather fights baldomir it's not selling.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Haha.

Floyd only managed 850,000 in the US.

Hatton done 900,000 in the U.K.


Hatton is the bigger draw in boxing hahahaha

So, it's the same because the fight cost the same in the U.K.? And there was a UFC event going on in the U.K. at the same time? Huh.. I didn't know that.

How much did Hatton/Castillo draw over there? Just curious.

Agreed 100%. Without the right match up PPVs sales won't be the same.

The only fair way to decide this is to look where we know who people were paying to see, the MGM Grand. The crowd was AT LEAST 80% to 20% in favour of Hatton. Take into account that the majority of Hatton fans had to travel thousands of miles, and you looking at Hatton selling about 800000 and Mayweather 50000. You can argue with me all you want, but you cant argue with the facts.

It was available here, just as it was there. Quit using lame arguements to hide the fact that nobody likes Mayweather.

Boxing is number #1!!!

LMAO. How are those excuses? I notice you didn't answer the price question. Interesting.

If you don't think the price has ANYTHING to do with it, you're lying to yourself.

Furthermore, it's not very important who the draw is. If Hatton is the draw, it's by 50,000 fans. And those extra bit of fans got to see him lose. So, that's exciting.

By the way, NOBODY equates to 850,000 fans? LOL. Right.

It was free on HBO so you'd figure more people would have watched it.

They were BOTH draws, but giving Mayweather no credit is ridiculous (which is my point). Hatton got rich from fighting mayweather, if hatton fights anyone else (besides de la hoya) he's not making nearly as much. simple logic.
