How Many PPV Buys Will Mayweather/Marquez Achieve?

[loui_ludwig]

In 34 years, how far has hate gotten you?

Tell you boy Floyd not to run from a smaller fighter.

Pac/Marquez did like 410K....this was when Pac wasn't that big of a draw.

Marquez/Floyd will do over 500K. And boxing has picked up some steam as of late with the mainstream. Pac/Hatton did WAYYYY more than I thought it would. This PPV could surprise us.

Pacquiao-Hatton did MUCH better than I thought it'd do, which is great news for the sport! For two foreign fighters to do such good numbers in the States is badass!

I initially thought Mayweather-Marquez would do about 500K, but if they promote it right for the next couple of months I can see somewhere around 750K.

I should have added Eleventy Billion as an option. you know, seeing that Floyd is a bigger draw than a black hole.

Lets not forget this will have a 24/7.

Oh now I see why youre sick to your stomach, just checked your favorite fighters list and Marquez is number one. Being that its less than 75 days until he meets Floyd. Have more faith in Marquez, dont write him off just yet, he's a very skilled fighter with alot of heart.

I think more people will stream this fight or find a bar or go to a friend's house to watch it

Possibly pulls in 500k buys at most.

The fight will do less numbers than Pacquiao-Hatton...it's all in the mainstream appeal. Pacquiao is known as the guy who crippled DLH and Hatton is known as Mayweather's last challenger in a memorable event...put them together given their styles and popularity, you got a great fight with huge PPV numbers.

Floyd's been out and he's coming back against Pacquiao's rival, but the only ones who know that are fans who follow the sport and Filipinos. This isn't going to do much.

Put Floyd in there with Pacquiao...and you'll give everyone: boxing fans, casual fans, and everyone in between something to look forward to and talk about.

[Mr. Fantastic]

As much as I like Marquez, I'm not going to let Mayweather rip me off for another fight. I'm streaming this **** or watch it at a bar.


I'm guessing less than 750k. Mayweather doesn't bring the excitement as other boxers, just a prefight loudmouth.

I bet the fight does pretty well. People will definitely be tuning in to see Floyd and the fight will get mainstream coverage. The 2 months wont matter. Most casual fans didnt know about Pacquiao-Hatton until a month ago.

Once 24/7 starts, the fight will become a lot bigger. That program builds up a fight like no other.

[ggurtin]

It will also do well off the coattails of Pacquiao-Hatton. After that fight, people will want to watch more boxing
