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

[Al Haymon]

Floyd-baldomir did close to 500k buys way more than any jmm fight or barrea fight

Nah, Floyd - Baldomir did about 330K. that is the same amount that Morales-Barrera 2,3 did. About the same as Pac-Barrera 2.

nobody gave a fk about Marquex the theatre i saw it in most didn't even know his name, there is no coincedence that, Arnold, barkley, Magic Johnson at the fight but have never been seenm at a marquez fight befor money has been on dwts, wwe and had triple H in the ring with him, an Att commercial and is on Mtv cribs, he is just as big a star as the Kardashians. ikn a reality world we live in no onne cares about jmm marquez, necxicans pile into a house to watch 1 ppv not a lot of them oscar made millionson ppv bc he was mainstream not bc of mexicans;. if that was the case then mexicans whould have produced more buys when barrera fought marquez. 250 k buys tells me thats not so

WoW!!!! congratulations to floyd and juan manuel!!!

MindBat,

I believe that Cotto-pac will do 700K. I'm going on the record.

I actually think it might do a bit more like 800k, perhaps.

Top Rank may pull out all stops along with HBO to promote it. Arum might try to save face after what he predicted for Mayweather-Marquez.

But Manny and Cotto don't 'sell' their fights. Otherwise, their figures might be
a little higher.

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.

What a hater.

[dnash1911]

no it will not outsell Marquez because arum and not Golden boy is promoting it. when has a bob arum promotion ever done well? that dude is so out of tough that margarito and cotto did crappy numbers. no one other than puerto ricans care about cotto or manny bc neither one speas english we live in a relatable society driven by a us market. whats the highest number cotto ever done? and manny without Oscar exactly. live gate is totally diffderent from ppv. you mke yor money on ppv live gate only generates a small percwentage of the money ppv does

[Al Haymon]

What a hater.

There are a lot of people with hurt feelings today. I have to admit to getting a chuckle out of it.

[jetgeomcx]

I got 5k that says Rafael doesn't shave his beard.

hahaha...
that's what one gets when saying a 'period' in his words.
dan rafael promised to shave all hairs in his head and face.

Very true.

And when you consider that Pacquiao couldn't sell out even against OSCAR... and Cotto/Margarito had a disappointing gate, I'm looking at this fight at risk of underperforming.
