My son's in his early 20's and a bunch of his friends were calling beg the main event trying to find a stream.

zero chance anyone get any guarantees with this fraud fight. both did the fight relying on ppv #s. again, no way would any fool give fraud weather and the clown any kind of guarantee. prove me wrong by sharing a link. And not some lie talk from fraud weather. show me a link that says who paid what amount of guarantee to fraud weather.

If true that’s a huge loss. They were talking 3 million buys prior to fight. If Floyd was guaranteed $30M and Logan $20M, I’m not sure where it’s coming from. Even if it’s 700K buys at $50 each, that’s only $35 million.

Logan Paul isn't guaranteed $20M. He's guaranteed 250k + 10% PPV.

So if Mayweather makes 100M - Logan will make 20M

No one outside of dumb white boys in the US care about Logan Paul. And Floyd doesn’t command that demand overseas as much as before.
His sham is about dried up.

There's a lot of dumb white boys in the country though.

There was a lot less hype than I thought there would be..... I think it would have done far better if Mayweather had fought the other Paul brother.

This doesn't include internet PPV, so it is not the final number. And this is even an estimate. Could be easily above 1 million.

It ain't just white boys, man. Where I work, there are several black dudes here who were hyped for this. These guys are total casuals. They couldn't be bothered with an Errol Spence or Terrence Crawford fight but they will definitely stop down for a 44 year old Floyd Mayweather fight versus a YouTuber.

And scrolling through my Twitter on Sunday, I swear there were more black folks talking about it than white boys. In fact it really wasn't even close.

So he's saying over 600k TV buys? Yeah, this is definitely hitting over the million mark once they add the streaming buys.

"Based on U.S. television buys, not including international or streaming"

Given popular the Pauls are with kids who generally don't have cable I can easily see the total being above a million when you include streaming and international.

I was thinking about this. The Pauls made their name on a service that is free to the customer. Maybe it's not that logical to think that YouTube fans convert to PPV streamers?

Mayweather made his name in boxing. I don't think this appealed to boxing fans at all. It was a bit of a curiosity more than anything serious.

This event could have missed the mark on both counts.

Yikes. Floyd's PPV sales hasn't been this low since 2006 i believe against Zab?

I'm hearing rumors the streams sales only amounted to around 20K sales because of the crash....

You heard it here first
