Mayweather-hatton PPV Buyrate Tops 850K

[2501]

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.

uk did 900,000 plus.

Hatton made more Money.. I dont care personaly...
I am a fan of neither fighter.. I find both of their fan bases to be full of idiots and jerks..

I do however love numbers and what they can tell me.. Which is why This thread was of interest to me..

All the opinons in it aren't worth ****.. only the numbers are worth anything.. I enjoy seeing cold hard Logical facts win..

What percentage of the profits do u think Oscar gave Floyd for "co-promoting"? I dont think Mayweather Promotions had much to do with the actual promoting of this fight. If i can guess, it was probably an 85/15 split in favor of GBP.

850,000 us +900,000 uk = 1.75million ..thats alot ..def not an upset wtf r u ppl talkin ab ?

[revs1227]

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..

and there we have it ..... disappointment my ass!

I think the number shows that people dont care as much about Ricky Hatton as yall think, rather than Floyd not being a draw. Floyd is a PPV fighter no matter who he fights at this point, it was Rickys first time and everyone i talked to knew Ricky didnt stand a chance, considering that great numbers on the PPV.

Do you even know what that means? I'll tell you, it means NOTHING. "Mayweather Promotions" isn't even a functional organization. They have one fighter and do no actual promoting. Floyd got a very SMALL slice of the promotional cut as part of his contract, as did a half-dozen other "promotions." GBP promoted the fight.

Hatton likely made twice what Floyd did on this fight.

I bet it was much less than 15%. In fact I'd be SHOCKED if it were higher than 6 or 7%.

Was the 900,000 UK buys confirmed? Didnt Mayweather Co-promote this fight also? Just curious.
