WOW Did Mayweather/Marquez really do 1 million PPV buys?

[pac oww]

I didn't expect that at all.

like, uh, source?

[King Flawless]

It will not even get close to 1 million

[gancho_al_igado]

Doubt it, 700-800k is more accurate.

Pay-per-view numbers

I know the UFC will never disclose exact PPV buy numbers, but do we have any numbers on Saturday’s boxing PPV vs. the UFC yet?

The UFC is a privately owned company and does not have to release its pay-per-view sales, which it chooses not to do. Occasionally, we’re able to find out what a particular fight sold, but it’s not often. From what I’m hearing, though, the Mayweather fight had a convincing victory. I’m hearing the Mayweather-Marquez pay-per-view is going to come in at or near 1 million sales. I don’t have a verifiable figure for the UFC, but I believe it will be far lower than 1 million. The boxing number should be released by Thursday at the latest and perhaps on Wednesday.
