Mayweather-hatton PPV Buyrate Tops 850K

[Sweet Pea 50]

Is this what Hatton fanboys, and Mayweather haters hang their hats on? ****ing PPV buys?
I paid my 65 bucks to watch the fight.
And I wasn't disappointed. ****, the money I made off a dummies placing bets on Hatton paid for the fight TEN FOLD.
It was a SUCCESS for both fighters. And it was a success for my wallet.
So really, who got

To consider

850,000. US = $47,000,000.

900,000, Uk = £13,500,000. = $25,992,900 Divided by 55 = 472,598.

850,000. + 472,598. = 1,322,598.

1,322,598. is the real PPV Number.

no espn would have said that those were the real numbers. look 850 is good K? GEESH.

Yeah. It did great everywhere it counted. Great numbers, everyone got paid and it's good news for boxing. It's sad that people want to make this less than it is.

As far as the UFC thing, that's sad that an alleged boxing fan would go to UFC just to take a jab at Mayweather. Pathetic.

There is only one fight in the History of the UFC that made 900,000. PPV

The record for live gate in the UFC is $5,397,300.00

Boxing Record $ 18,419,200.00

Wouldent worry too much about the UFC.

You cant compare PPV buys from 10-15 years ago because back then a lot less people were capable of getting PPV. Tyson/Holyfield would probably have gotten over 3 million in today's era.

They are Reporting HBO PPV, I added all Sky and HBO PPV up.

You are comparing BUYS and revenue as the same without considering ratio.. 1 UK is worth 5 US buys.. not .5

your math is completely flawed..

900000 =13,500,00 x 2 = 27.000,000 x 4= 114 million USD in PER RATIO

What that is saying.. In a country of equal size with equal currency.. The UK numbers would be worth 114 million in the USA..

It's a staggering amount..

But the UK numbers Of Buys alone.. are worth almost 4 Million USA buys..

Im talking about Money figures.


I see what your saying though.

Numbers do not include UK PPV buys, which I heard were astronomical.

Secondly, it was Ricky Hatton's first time on PPV. I'd say doing 850,000 is fantastic.

The fight cost about £15, which at todays exchange rates is about 5$ cheaper than it was in the US. But most of the people in the US bought it for Hatton anyway, so price is NOT a valid arguement.

hmmm
1£ = $2.0138, 15 x 2.0138 = $30.20
54.95 - 30.20 = $24.74
IF the fight cost £15 then it was actually about $25 cheaper,
also price is a VERY valid arguement
you are obviously an idiot.
