I Guarantee that Floyd vs Marquez will reach close to or slightly over 1 million buys

[OTSS]

500 k ppv TOPS... Pac-Cotto around a million.

Based on what? niether one of them sell ****. get a grip.

[BetterCallSaul]

Lets say it does do a million buys, inturn what does that say about Hattons popularity in the states seeing as he & Mayweather only did 800k?

It did almost 2 million in the UK...that's what it says about Hattons popularity.

I know haters will come in here and flame, but this isn't me just bull****ting or throwing stuff out there. My girlfriend and my sister both work for Directv (at different locations) and they keep telling me everyday about the amount of people talking about the fight or calling in about ordering the fight. At school, everyday I hear groups of people talking about the fight, and I haven't seen a fight get this much buzz since Oscar vs Floyd. Even when I running around town all this week Ive heard people talk about this fight everywhere Ive went. Don't be surprised when this is the highest selling fight since Oscar vs Floyd.


BTW this is coming from someone who dislikes Floyd. And while I slightly dislike, my sister and my girlfriend can't stand him and are annoyed by it at work. Only mentioning that to let people know I'm not a Floyd nuthugger... but someone just keeping it real.

There is a lot of hate from hardcore boxing fans, but for a regular person who doesn't watch boxing it does not matter what weight JMM comes from or who Floyd should be fighting instead. Housewifes and young ladies don't watch boxrec statistics they watch 24/7. This fight will certainly sell more PPV than Pacman-Cotto, partly because of the boring 24/7 with them and **** promotion of the old man.

[Sir Tom Jones]

i say 523,329 buys.

[Al Haymon]

I think this fight will do no more than 700k buys.

Super,

700K would be an amazing number. Dontcha think?

The myth is that Hatton is a popular fighter in the states. He is not. He DEFINITELY brings money to Vegas because his fans fly over. The hatton fans help create a great atmosphere and bring excitement.

But if you look at Ricky's non-May/Pac fights, his sales have not been good.

[MindBat]

why is it that Mayweather can sell a ppv but not a seat?
this thought has come to my mind plenty a times.

First, PPV view is a lot cheaper and worldwide.

Second, only the local Vegas residents/visitors would stop in to catch the fight live.

Third, only a minuscule amount would make the trek from one state to another to catch the live event.

Of Hatton's five Vegas headliners, the only one that wasn't overwhelming at the box office was the Malignaggi fight, which also coincided with a crumbling economy.

The Urango fight sold so well that it proved to be too big for the arena in which it was held. The Castillo fight drew somewhere around 15,000 if I'm not mistaken, and judging by crowd reaction a grand total of nobody there in support of JLC.

Not sure where you get that he wasn't a draw outside of the big event.

In the US I see it selling about 6 hundred thousand and a worldwide total of over one million without a doubt... thats my call but we don't have to wait much longer to find out now do we... DAMN I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[gqjohnb]

he doesnt really have a hardcore fanbase that will travel across the country and pay hundreds to see his fights. but he still creates a lot of media hype and is well known.

simply put, he makes a great selling opponent.

it still amazes me that hardcore boxing fans dont like this fight. this isnt any lightweight, its Juan Manuel Marquez.

I think its just that their a little bitter that manny-mayweather didn't happen from the jump and/or are just wishing the fight to tank out of hate. Thats the way it seems to me from reading the forums
