How many PPV buys do you believe Margarito vs. Cotto will have?

Let's see who really gets the feel for the atmosphere of promotion. Vote for what you think. Lets keep the thread respectful Cotto, Margo, and Floyd fans.

its kinda hard to say right now. I say a month closer to the fight and we should have a better feeling for how well it's been promoted and how much people are actually looking forward to it.

I went with 250-300K.

Unfortunately, it won't be the type of numbers that it should for the quality of the matchup.

Cotto's improving as a PPV draw but Margarito hasn't really shown that much popularity despite his crowd-pleasing style. I was surprised that Cotto-Judah did only 200,000. The Cotto-Mosley was reported by Arum at doing 400k (other reports have said it did in the mid to high 300k range), but Mosley's a bigger name than Margarito and has had plenty of PPV exposure due to fights with DLH and Vargas.

A lot depends on the promotion I guess.

I hope it does well and then there will be more money on the table for Arum and Mayweather to see eye-to-eye.

not to many. marg isnt well known..

no disrespect, but the general boxing public will be like.. oo two spanish guys again..

i kno alfonso was mexican but he had the contender backing and the victory of gatti..

i say around 200 k

I think it'll break 400 considering this is a MUST see fight for every boxing fan, and all the writers are gonna be pumped

Should do between 350-400k....We have two top WW going at it, if the promotion is right then it should do that numbers, They need a 24/7.

Not voting yet because I need to know how much hype/drama will be created by the marketing men. I can assure you that 90+% of hardcore boxing fans will watch this fight.

I would say about 400k-450k seriously this is just as good a fight as was Corrales Castillo when it was set, it has the sizzle and you know the steak will be well served on fightnight.

I'm going to say between 300-350K, given Cotto's large Puerto Rican following and his fanbase in Jersey and New York alone. Couple that with Margarito's huge Mexican following in Mexico and Southern California, it will generate a substantial amount of revenue. And it will be great for the sport as well, since there's literally no way the fight can't live up to the hype surrounding it.

A 24/7 would lose money. The cost of producing it would probably be more than the increase in sales.

That show is aimed at more for the casual fans. Hardcore fans are already hyped about Cotto-Margarito.

I can't really picture a big increase in PPV sales from casual fans watching a 24/7 of Margarito speaking Spanish and Cotto's polite (boring) quotes.

With PBF-DLH, DLH is already a huge star, and PBF is someone people want to see lose because of his arrogance. And Hatton is an engaging personality.
