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.
People keep saying this. HBO hasn't even released the nums.
Do NOT tell me that you are relying on the Arum nums...seriously.
24/7 is one of the best things to happen to boxing... Making a fight that only two months away having 24/7 helps promote it tremendously... but anyways i'ma go with 750k
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.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Mayweather at the press conference said that the 24/7 crew was filming him as he was speaking. Can't wait to see what Mayweather will do/say...but the fight isn't worth buying, though. I'm gonna' find somewhere to watch the fight.
