Floyd Mayweather PPV King????

[flodistheshizle]

He's not the one who broke the record, it's Oscar and Hatton.. He's maybe the one responsible with the hype but let him fight other fighters except Oscar and Hatton, and he will never even reach 500k.

You act like Floyd did`nt contribute to those sales.Could Oscar and Hatton done those numbers fighting the average joe blow?

Yes, he contributed, but it was the drawing power of both of Floyd's opponents that pulled in the majority of those numbers. I say it was 70/30.

So it's just a mere coincidence, that both Oscar and Hatton got career paydays, and two PPV records. Yep, Floyd has absolutely nothing to do with it, you're right.

I really hate to burst your bubble, but if you don't think Floyd was the difference between a typical Oscar PPV of 900k-1.1M to a record shattering 2.2 Million, then you're a complete ****** plain and simple.

It was the biggest fight in boxing that could of been made at the time, and Floyd was without a doubt the second half of that equation. No one else in the sport could of replaced Floyd and did those type of numbers.

Yes Floyd contributed to it, but are u forgetting the power of promotion/marketing? 24/7 had ALOT to due the the success of that fight. This all came at the right time, when boxing was in a slump. Boxing fans were desperate for a MEGAFIGHT. This was labled as "The fight to save boxing" LOL...yeah ok.

Compare Oscar's "typical" ppv number of 900k-1.1m to that of Floyd's 300-380k.

What's your point? It was also Floyd's career high paydays aswell! I can understand if Floyd was making 15-20mil prior to these fights, but he wasnt. Floyd's career high prior to these fights was 8mil. Oscar on the other hand was already making 20+ million dollar paydays prior to Floyd.

If the man says he is the PPV king like he says then he should have done DLH numbers as well with Hatton. DLH vs. Hatton does way more then Mayweather Hatton. DLH is still the PPV draw. The reality of the matter is that people were paying to see DLH and Hatton against a greaat opponent not the other way around. I would say it was about 60/40 for each fight..
When I see Mayweather fight someone like Mayorga and make big numbers then I will believe it.


The thing that no one looks at and forgets is.. WHO WAS PROMOTING THE EVENT? If anything the high number had to do with GBP promoting it because they know how to market the **** our of something.. Let's face it.. they are just good at what they do!

you mean like a washed up Mayorga? if I remember correctly, he got 900K with Mayorga. Floyd only got 800K in the US with Hatton.

You can't compare Floyd's PPV numbers before the Oscar fight, he's not even a quarter the star he is now in mainstream.

Look at Floyd's PPV numbers post Oscar, post Dancing with the stars, post WWE. 2.2 Million with Oscar, 1.9 Million with Hatton.

He's averaging 2 Million PPVs world wide in his last 2 fights. Go ahead, call it coincidence.

so then you are agreeing with Floyd that he is the PPV King?
