Pacquiao-Hatton Pay Per View Numbers Looking Good

[rocky_balboa23]

No, sir,

Mega-events are Tyson-Lewis. Tyson-holy. DLH-trinidad, DLh-Floyd. SRL-hearns. etc

This was a big fight. A big fight that attracted the same celebs you always see. Denzel, Jack and Jay Z go to every big fight.

When you see people like Angelina Jolie, etc, then that is the next level.

IMHO.

y is it that floyd fans like u are so insecured about the PAcman..i guess ur afraid that Pac-hatton would do better numbers that My-hatton..stop defending Money May..he's going to get KOed once he faces the true all time great in MAnny..

Are you living in 1997?

As a Mayweather fan, I think that this makes the fight easier to make. Let's say its 1.7 million US buys. That obliterates the 900,000 US buys that Mayweather-Hatton did. So, even if Mayweather-Marquez does well (let's say 750,000+) Mayweather will probably be willing to take 40-45% of the money without much complaint.

Remember Floyd took 30% and all of DLH's terms without so much as a complaint. He took short money against Hatton knowing that it'd end up being more than $20 mil. If he knows that a fight between he and Pacquiao could do 2+ mil buys he'll take it as long as he knows he can make $20+ mil. And for those of you who'll complain that he's "ducking" Mosley remember that Floyd would have fought Mosley if they'd offered him more than $8 mil. But come on, $8 mil to fight Mosley or $20+ mil to fight Pacquiao? It's not a question. Just like $8 mil to fight Margarito or $25 mil to fight DLH.

I think these PPV numbers are good news. Especially since now so many people think Mayweather can be beaten. Maybe now he'll finally get some respect for winning a big fight.
