How many PPV's will Mayweather vs Marquez generate?

[KittenFlaps]

You're overestimating boxing's popularity.

Possibly!

Still, it's easier to tabulate the actual number of viewers in theaters. I still hope it'll be a party.

[Talisayen]

it won't exceed 400K PPV buys.

[ИATAS]

I dunno. Assuming each theater holds 150-300 you gotta assume they can at least average 100 per theater. Add to that the fact that they can actually tally the total number of theater viewers and not just the estimated viewers in a room (you know there are some houses with 40 dudes in them)and it might actually make the number go higher.

I dunno about an average of 100 people, I think that's too high. I mean in certain cities I'm sure there will be over 100 but in others there maybe only like 20 or even less. I think an average of 50-60 is fair.

But even if you do an average of 100. Thats 17,000. So again it's not a huge difference in PPV buys. It could be 500,000 versus 517,000.

Yeah, you are probably right. Still...it should be a lot of fun, or it'll be a riot in the theaters and the worst fight I have ever watched.

Yep, it's an awesome idea. I'm pissed because there are no theaters showing it in Washington state.

My pops tells me when he was younger he used to watch a lot of the big fights at movie theaters or stadiums. That's what they did all the time and this was the norm.

I really hope this gets popular again.

[D-MiZe]

Even if it does it wouldn't effect the numbers that much.

170 movie theaters are showing it. Lets say an average of 50 people at each one, that's only 8,500.

Didn't realise only 170 were doing it.

The cinema will be packed though.

Well, lets put it this way.

What if they have a few screens dedicated to the fight. Each room holds 80 people, about 250 per cinema say..

Could it work like that or?

Aye, my Dad watched Rumble in the jungle at the cinema.

[DE100]

Anything over 500k would be good

yeah they could but I doubt that's how it will happen. I honestly don't think too many of these theaters will sell out. I'm sure it will do well in California or other boxing cities, but what about Wisconsin, Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, etc.

Yeah, but thinking about it, I am bringing friends, about 5-10 depending on who actually goes. Doesn't take that many groups of 5-10 to fill a theater.
