Hatton/Pac 1.6 mill buys. JMM/Floyd 1.0 mill buys.

[Doop]

Because Hattion wasn't in the mix.

No, it was free because the fight was huge a mis-match to begin with

[M.I Truth ?]

Only on NSB. Both Pac and Mayweather are draws. Mayweather is taking over as the biggest US draw since Oscar is gone.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Ricky Hatton pay-per-view which took place in Las Vegas on December 8 has shattered UK pay-per-view buyrate numbers. According to The Telegraph, Sky Box Office estimates as many as 1.2 million buys and the number can increase to 1.4 million. The final number will not be known until January, but Sky says the final buyrate will be well over 1 million, cracking the 2002 record of 750,000 buys, set by Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson. [details]

Okay, so if Floyd vs Hatton did 1 million UK buys, and 900k+ US buys (we will call it 900k) then Floyd vs Hatton did 1.9 million buys in total.

Pacquiao vs Hatton did 1.6 million buys in total.

Pacquiao vs JMM got 400k+ buys and Mayweather vs JMM got 1 million buys (if the report is true, I am guessing it is, but for all we know there could be a new report saying Floyd vs JMM did 600k) but I do understand that Pacquiao is more popular now, but still a point.

Mayweather vs DLH did 2.4 million buys, Pacquiao vs DLH did 1.25+ million buys.

Actually, Floyd vs JMM got more PPV buys in the US than Pacquiao vs Hatton (once again, according to the report of it being a million, who knows it could be false).

I don't really like talking about this PPV **** cause it gets annoying, talking about it over and over again... plus it doesn't benefit us financially so why should we be that bothered, but I just thought I would try to make a point.

What comeback/tune up fight in history generated 1 million buys?

Mike Tyson vs. Peter McNeely 1,580,000 buys.

well, floyd is from the US and pac is from the PI... so yeah..

[Spacey1991]

well, floyd is from the US and pac is from the PI... so yeah..

I am not saying Floyd is a bigger draw, when did I say that?

I was just making a point, the TS is being bitter over some news about a Floyd fight that he thought would do **** doing well so tried to nitpick as much as he could to be negative, so I made my point.

Plus, Pacquiao has been fighting in the US for long enough now to be known... so yeah...

Numbers aren't lying here... I still think a Floyd vs Pacquiao fight should be a 50/50 split though because the public and the Boxing fans want to see the fight because of both guys.

[Eaner0919]

exactly, it was free for a reason.

because there wasn't a British star as part of the main event?

because while Floyd and JMM maybe very well known in the US, maybe not so much in the UK

I mean I could go on but I am very surprised that this is even brought up.

tell you what can you tell me what the top UK PPVs ever are? I am curious to see how many had no UK fighters on the card.

Mayweather/Hatton 900k, Pacman/Hatton 825k, LOL OWNED! - Floyd the premiere PPV Star

Mayweather/Hatton did about 2.4 million buys worldwide adding u.s. + uk buys. Pacman/Hatton supposedly did 2million or under.

In U.S. alone Mayweather/Hatton did 900k, Hatton/Pacman did 825k.

LOL owned.

Floyd is the premiere PPV star in the world today bar none.

yeah pac-hatton almost broke may-hatton in US even if pac isnt from here

[josenoway]

i don't even know where you UK guys get off ****ting on the floyd fight? You're telling me you wouldn't have paid $50 for the Mayweather-Marquez fight, which went 12 solid rounds.

But you were willing to pay $50 to watch your boy Hatton get exposed and get put on his back like a 2 dollar whore in 2 rounds? By a blown up featherweight?

Who're the idiots again?
