    RUMOR: Initial Mayweather/Paul PPV Numbers Terrible

    Let me just say - I have NO damn idea why Dave F'n Meltzer is chiming in on this. Likely trying to stay relevant since wrestling is damn near dead. He does speak about MMA from time-to-time, but hardly ever boxing.

    In wrestling his credibility is shot to pieces...so take this announcement with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't surprise me if this one "only" did a million.

    Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather are set to throw down tonight on pay-per-view. It's always a gamble when putting together a big event like that, because

    Hope it does really poor numbers that might stop this stuff from happening, if does well it only brings more of these circus acts.

          The thing is, we have to put it in perspective.

          "Terrible" for Floyd is 1 million or lower.

          Meanwhile, Crawford struggles to do 150k and Spence/Pacquiao is likely to be half a million or so.

          I mean...perspective matters. No matter what, he's going to pull higher numbers than the active roster because the YouTubers pull numbers AND Floyd's fight is cheaper.

          Triller raised the price of Teo/Kambosos, that's going to tank.

            It's a retired 44 year old against a YouTuber who lost his only "career" fight to another YouTuber. For $50 dollars.

            The main attraction himself called it a "legalized bank robbery", lol.

                A lot of Floyd of fans have preschool level reading ability just like him, so they got confused and think this fight is for free on YouTube since Logan Paul is a famous YouTuber.
