Mayweather vs Marquez Registers 1 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

wow, those are great numbers even if there wasn't a UFC on the same night. I guess mayweather has proved that he is a bigger draw than pacquiao.

Had i bought the fight, i'd be screaming for a refund.....card was stacked but turned out wack, main event was even worse, a glorified sparring session. Best fight of the night was Cornelius Locke, for ***s sake...........

I wont and havent ever bought a boreweather fight, and although i was tempted only because of how stacked the card was, i'm glad my common sense prevailed....
so glad i didnt spend my hard earned $ on this p.o.s pay-per-screw........

nice. I'm sure the drinking piss helped a lot

straight BS. 300-400k probably came from movie theaters. HBO is just like any other corporation, THEY LIE.

cant believe so many people are happy they spent money on a disgraceful mismatch.

Dude. The Theater numbers are not included and have not been released yet according to the USA Today article. Stop hating. The facts are the facts.

I said I would say it, and I will.

I take back everything I have ever said about Floyd Mayweather Jr. not being a draw, I am a jackass and deserve all the taunts his fans throw at me. Other Floyd haters should have the class to realize this is a great thing for boxing that THIS fight got 1 million PPV buys and admit they were wrong.

And suck it Dana White.

I honestly believe it really had to do with A LOT of Mexicanos/Chicanos buying the fight for 1. It being on diez y seis weekend, and 2. Because people bought it to see fmj lose....

maybe so, but compare the numbers to marquez-pacquiao. do you think a another fight between pac-marquez would generate 1mill?

All is forgiven until Mayweather-Pacquiao get it on.

Can't believe so many ****** people paid all that money in a recession.

Yeah you and Dana White who said it would be ****** Mexicans. It's good for boxing and if you a boxing fan then you should be happy. If not then: www.ufc.com

Well thats a Wrap, Mayweather has kicked this forums azz

If it's true I stand corrected. I believed it would do around 750 - 800k. I guess Mexicans are desperate for a new hero.
