How many PPV buys you believe a Mayweather vs Mosley fight can generate

[Iceta]

Don't really care about that right now. I just wanna see them fight.

[mrpain81]

Mosley/Margs, Marquez/Diaz, and Cotto/Clottey all had the same ratings this year.

That's not true.

1/24/2009 - HBO WCB - Mosley-Margarito - 7pm PST - 1.9 million Total live Viewers

2/21/2009 – HBO World Championship Boxing – Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz – 1.6 Million live Viewers

6-13-2009 - HBO WCB - Cotto vs. Clottey - 1.68 million live viewers

Pac and Cotto vs. Mayweather both do better than Mosley. Zero doubt about it.

Well I do agree that if Cotto beats Pacquiao that will become the biggest fight but if Cotto wasn't fighting Manny and Mayweather could fight either three right now they would rank.

Pacquiao
Mosley
Cotto

In terms of the biggest fights.

Ditto.

guys on this board refuse to understand that we are the top 2% of boxing fans. We ARE NOT the general public.

This board wants May-Moz. The rest of the galaxy wants May-Pac.

My wife, mom, and people I know that don't even like boxing were texting me and calling me about that. My facebook page had crazy ass hit about. Most said that was the best part of the night and felt Floyd was boring. I couldn't get mad at that. I enjoyed the fight though. All I'm saying is that it created a huge buzz.

Also do you believe it would sellout?

I know every Febuary in Vegas the Magic Show pops off. A lot of celebs come out here for that. So I believe it could do great during that time as far as tickets are concerned.

Anyways though what do you think?

if floyd/mosley happens, i will watch it in the theaters.

Excellent comment. Its sad but it's so true. At the end of the day boxing is a business. If Pac beats Cotto, May vs Pac will be the biggest fight this decade.

[ILLuminato]

The same as Mayweather/Judah....give or take 100k

That's interesting, where'd you get those numbers man?

I remember reading one of Rafeal's blogs saying all 3 did the same by the Nielsen ratings. Fat man could be wrong.

And I still disagree. Even minus Pac I think Floyd/Cotto does better numbers than Floyd/Mosley.

Mosley is a huge name, but he doesn't have a passionate enough fan base that's gonna shell out $50 to see him fight, let alone go to the fight. It's always been his problem. It'll capture the casual fan's interest, but about half of those would actually buy the PPV IMO.

[The Gambler1981]

It could do a lot, ESPN likes both Mosley and Mayweather so they could easily have a funny back and forth. Shane's hypeman B-Hop is also tight with ESPN and he knows how to cause a ruckus.

It would be interesting I do not see why Floyd-Mosley would do any worse then Floyd-Hatton and could do a lot more if promoted right.

The names will sell this fight alone. This PPV would be sucessful my man. Plus after that **** that happened on Saturday and the ESPN ****. This fight has a buzz. That's a fact. There is bad blood between the two also. People will buy this fight without a question. 24/7 will be the ****. Good Guy vs Bad Guy.
