Losing a bet to someone as dumb as Horus would be really humiliating. On the bright side, this fight is expected to do above 1 million buys according to Kevin Iole which is shocking to me as I expected it to be just above 600k, I want to see the reaction of Dana White considering Kevin Iole who always has great things to say about UFC himself says that UFC will do less than 500k guaranteed, and the boxing match will do over a million according to his sources.

Not sure, probably take between a few days and a week I guess... some of these people are giving **** guesses though, the fight wouldn't have sold 1 million or even close... it would be 550k at most 600k at a real push IMO.
With all the people ****ting on the fight, the movie theater thing would take a few off unless they state how many movie theater buys they get, plus the fact that UFC had a PPV the same night... adds up to be honest.Comment

Some will be skeptical, and I am, too. But when I compare this to how the Hatton-Pacquiao numbers came out, it's a bit different. You'll recall, probably, that the first numbers we heard for that fight were supposedly between 1.6 and two million buys, that being the number that Bob Arum threw out there. Arum had previously stated during the press build-up that he felt the fight could break the all-time PPV record, which is 2.4 million, as set by Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2007.
That came down to about 825-850,000 buys in America when Dan Rafael of ESPN did some digging in the following days, after Arum, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed by his leap of faith coming down at about half of what he was saying, didn't want the numbers to be released, claiming it was nobody's business but that of the promoters and fighters. He did not address the fact that he was so giddy to proclaim massive numbers just days before, but that's another story for another time.
Golden Boy and HBO were not pleased with Arum's insistence that the fight's buys not be released to the public. They felt good about what everyone accomplished, but for Arum, it could have been seen many ways. Negotiating tactic with Mayweather and Pacquiao down the line, for one. That number didn't beat Mayweather's number with Hatton, and it sure doesn't look like it's going to beat this one.Comment
