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

[Xcusemymood]

Seems like the PPV did a lot better than people expected, I didn't expect more than 600k to be honest cause of the amount of guys against the fight. The ticket sales did pretty good to considering how bad people were expecting it to me, overall it seems to have been much more successful than people expected (if these reports are true, which I think we all believe them).



Aha! When has JMM ever done close to a million buys?

This is hilarious! Apparently Floyd isn't a draw at all, when DLH, Hatton and JMM get there most successful PPV with Floyd it had nothing to do with Floyd... apparently the opponent drew the crowed... but when did they ever do that good with somebody other than Floyd? Never, Floyd's name sold the fight, people were more interested in seeing it than they have with other opponents because Floyd was fighting.

I aint saying Floyd was the draw against DLH, that would be ******... but he obviously had something to do with it because DLH has had his most successful PPV with him.

By the way, I aint gloating... I aint saying it is hilarious cause of what people said about it before... cause at the end of the day it doesn't affect me at all... I don't benefit financially from it, but what I said I found funny is the fact that whenever Floyd has had a successful PPV in his past 3 fights people have all of a sudden said it was cause of the other guy, but when they fought Floyd there PPV was the most successful, he obviously has something to do with it.

You are a really good poster. You usually say what i'd like to say but I dont have the patience to write it all.

and we're on a recession....

PBF is a smart guy, he did the same thing SRL did in 85, retired, then came back.

like i said yesterday as big a sham as this fight was i'm still happy for all involved but most importantlly happy for the sport because it continues to show that its strong and no where near close to dying!!! Now lets hope the next PPV Cotto vs Pac does just as great or even better!!! VIVA BOXING!!!!

well that's true, but the ones who bought the PPV were also Floyd fans you know..

[Addition]

NEW YORK -- HBO Sports reported today that one million pay-per-view buys were generated from last Saturday’s welterweight fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The fight was promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions. [details]

No ****ing way, I can't believe it.

Mayweather's a genius for faking a rib injury.

[street bully]

but if this would have bombed as MANY ppl thought that it would then Floyd BY HIMSELF would have been the blame, NOT BOTH OF THEM....FACT.

You're absolutely right, it wouldn't have bombed though. Also the urine drinking had alot of peple talking baout this. But to be real Mayweather was the name, but Marquez brought the supporters to watch him try to make history. This is the second highest PPV Mayweather has ever been in, and the target group has been the same both times (Mexican audience). Hatton, Gatti, and even Zab might have been bigger names than Marquez, but they didn't have a sizeable group of supporters in America. Thye bot contributed to the fight. If Mayweather was fighting Bradley it wouldn\t have sold on september 19th. Likewise if JMM was fighting a unknown like Casamayor it would not sell. Both of these superstars meshed to bring in astonishing numbers. it takes two to tango...Unless you are Tyson.

Some people enjoy being proven wrong often.
