I checked out Ticketmaster, you can still buy from $300-$1000 range and up to 10 tickets. Could this be an early sign how the PPV will perform?

That's what I'm trying to say.

Fraud Jr. and Crackhead Sr. scandals did not work out.

**** that, i'll stream this online.

roy jones's promotional company shut down all streams for his crappy lacy fight, what do you think mayweather and golden boy will do for one of the biggest fights of the year?

The article says.....

"Using live gate sales as a gauge for overall interest, the fight figures to resemble the Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton matchup of last May (850,000 PPV buys)..."

If this fight does near 850K ppv buys, then that is a huge success. I would be surprised by that.

Super,

How did you edit the article that way for your quote?

You're lucky I'm not the kind of guy whod sig what you just said :P

TBH: I don't think it'll do that well simply because a better UFC card will be on. I'm not dissing boxing. JMM vs Floyd only appeals to the hardcore boxing fans. Not many casual fans would choose it over UFC 103.

sig it my man. im confident it will do big numbers, espn.com had to reset their poll about the fight after it reached 90,000 votes, i have never seen any of their boxing polls get that many votes. not to mention their new poll has 11,000 votes already.

Guys,

Just so you know...

OSCAR vs PACQUIAO DID NOT SELL OUT EITHER.

Yet, it was a successful fight. The gate revenue is the smaller portion of the money. The PPV sales are much more important.

First off the UFC 103 card is not better than the Mayweather card. The Mayweather card has two bigger names in the main event of 103, and a better undercard with arguably the second and best feather, and Katsidis. Secondly, MMA does not effect boxing PPVs and in this case the casual fan will be buying the boxing PPV. Casual fans will buy Mayweathers return over a card of not big names in the UFC. I'd gladly take all your points that Mayweather V Marquez brings in more numbers than the UFC.

UFC DOES effect boxing PPV's and boxing PPV's effect UFC PPV's.

Why?

Because alot of people who like combat sports like BOTH. Casual fans of both will probably only get 1 PPV and the ones that choose UFC aren't watching the boxing one and vice-versa. That means that both PPV buys will be lowered.

Truth right there.
