HBO PPV Exec Estimates 850k Buys for Pac-Hatton

[cupcrazy01]

Given the economy those are more than respectable numbers

Agreed 100%...makes you wonder what it could have been if that wasn't the case.

[-Antonio-]

I thought it'd do 600k so anything above is huge to me. These aren't just good numbers, they are exceptional.

I thought Floyd/Hatton did 850k buys in the U.S.

[gingeralbino]

for a fight with no American fighters its huge. Has that ever happened before? (was there even a PPV in America before with 2 non-american fighters?)

If this fight did 850,000 P.P.V which is awesome...
Mayweather will be taking the 55/45 split between him and pac when they fight. Or 50/50 at worse



The Purse will be decided by probably on this Factor
1. P.P.V History vs. the common opponent


The numbers of

Pacquiao vs. De la Hoya (1.4 Million buys)
Mayweather vs. De la hoya (2.4 Million P.P.V Buys)


Pacquiao vs. Hatton (850,000 P.P.V BUY)
Mayweather vs. Hatton ( 910,000 P.P.V Buys)
Hatton Mayweather combined
U.K: 1.4 Million
U.S: 910,000
= 2.3 Million overall



Pacquiao vs. JMM (400,000 buys P.P.V Buys)
Mayweather vs. JMM (TBA)

So far Mayweather is winning the argument on who should get the lion's share.


Pacquaio P.P.V History

Pacquaio vs. Morales 350,000 PPV
Pacquiao vs. Morales II 355,000 buys
PACQUIAO vs. BARRERA 350,000 PPV
Pacquaio vs. Marquez I 360,000 PPV
Pacquaio vs. Marquez II 400,000 buys

Floyd vs. Judah (no countdown show) did better than all Pacquaio fights except Marquez II..

Pacquaio vs. Morales 350,000 PPV
Pacquiao vs. Morales II- 355,000 buys
PACQUIAO vs. BARRERA 350,000 PPV
Pacquaio vs. Marquez I 360,000 PPV

and judah is a nobody with no fanbase like mexicans fighters like Morales,barrera, and Marquez have.

You guys can figure it out ....

I thought Floyd/Hatton did 850k buys in the U.S.

I've seen 910k in multiple places...not 100% sure that's correct, though.

[Bullet Bill]

Good, but not groundbreaking...probably cuz ppl already saw Hatton get knocked out...

well this fight at least hatton wasnt a unknown like he was in the mayweather fight... so that gave them a marketing advantage right there...

but the numbers did amazing imo...
great job pacquiao and Hatton

the final total is 910,000 P.P.V
because it often takes up to a month or so to get all the numbers in....
and the first numbers release are often the first estimates.

like floyd judah was moved from 310,000 P.P.V buys to 375,000 P.P.V buys within a 1 week span because all of the numbers wasnt totally counted yet...

this is partly way bob arum never releases his P.P.V numbers on cotto because he wants to wait untill every number comes in so it doesnt hurt his bargaining power when he trying to get fights

Just enough to price himself out. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now it's 50/50, I thought you stuck to 55/45. HAHAHAHAHA!

I do remember that (Floyd-Judah PPV numbers). I was hyped for that fight because I really thought Zab had a shot, and it was looking good for 4 rounds...then, well, you know...

Cotto is definitely not a huge PPV attraction, so a Pac-Cotto plan B to the Pac-Mayweather ideal is quite a drop-off...but because both buys in the Pac-Cotto potential fight are Top Rank, Arum probably makes more money. That, and he's clearly trying to get leverage for PBF negotiations by telling Floyd & Schaefer that Pac has Cotto to fight if they won't agree to a deal.
