MAYWEATHER Ranked #4 ALL TIME Pay Per View Attractions !!

[RSBonos]

I see that you posted Pacs vs PBF numbers, Id like to now ask you if you agree with the notion as I do Floyd should get the larger share of the Purse/PPV revenue.

Please take in condsideration the key points.
-Between common opponents, Floyd has outsold Pac by nearly 2m buys.
-Floyd averages nearly 1/2 a million more buys per a PPV.
-Im not sure how much PPV revenue Pac avg but PBF has the highest of any fighter -with more than 5 fights at just over 59mil per fight.

Im not saying Pac is not a huge star, but to say he more deserving than Floyd of the lions share is absurd in my opinion.

ODLH made both these guys cross-over into the mainstream, Floyd had a 1.5 year start and he still sold less overall then Pac.

The only way to measure popularity in terms of PPV is to look at the most recent results. IMO its a clear 50-50 fight.

Do you and Horus

I gotta give you props for that one, that was good.

floyd will surpass oscar in two fights..

the pac fight may generate close to 150 million in total revenue...the mosley fight will gnerate close to 100 million in total revenue.

that right there is 250million in two fights bringing floyd to 600 million total revenue generated in 8 fights.

I beleive floyd will be the first fighter to generate 1 billion in total revenue.. all he has to do is carry pac for a few rounds make him look good and get a rematch..but not right away he should unify with mosley in a blockbuster at the end of the year.

I wonder what TYSON-HOLYFIELD WOULD DO TODAY.

I bet people still think they are champs.


He he he.

Pacquiao deserves more, if anything. Things change. You can't hold onto the past, because Floyd will never do numbers like he did with Oscar, unless... it's... with...

Pacquiao.


As of November 14, the Filipino has become an even bigger star. Pacquiao-Cotto just outsold Marquez-Mayweather. Floyd is sliding down the hill. Manny is at the top, throwing bad eggs and rotten fish in his general direction.

Status Quo are not selling the same amount of tickets to their concerts as they did in the 80's. Likewise, Floyd Mayweather cannot sell the same amount of PPV's he did two years ago with Oscar. Because of Oscar. Pre-Oscar Floyd sales are as good/**** as anyone else's.

Pacquiao deserves a bigger cut. He is the bigger worldwide star. He was on TIME magazine cover. Floyd was on RING magazine cover.

Floyds been on the cover of countless magazines outside of just boxing such as espn, mens fiyness, si, and many more. Pac doednt deserve more. You can argue that numbers post de la hoya are more even but floyd did more against hatton when hatton had never been on ppv or much american exposure. I can understand 50/50 though.

Pac vs Floyd, If it goes down in say an arena like the superdome or Dallas stadium, the Live gate may past 80-100 million easily.

Im gonna go ahaead and say if Pac v Cotto did 1.2 and JMM vs PBF did 1....


This Fight doe 3.5 million, thats 210 in ppv right there.

the live gate in vegas will be more..in vegas they can charge 1500-2000 a ticket just for non nosebleed seats. and up to 5000-10000 for ringside seats..all the big ballers will be there.

I was being conservative with the 150million projection which is 2.6 million ppv buys ur upside projection is fine though i could def see 3.5 as the high side.

I told everyone two years ago when pac came into the marquez fight at 144 we were going to see this fight..hbo and top rank have done a magnifient job in building pac up to get to this stage.

the next question is who can they build up after mosley?

[Burner]

Floyd is one of the biggest p.p.v stars of all time.
and the biggest NON HEAVYWEIGHT DRAW ever !!!! besides De la hoya.

PAY-PER-VIEW KING

Associated Press.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was once boxing's pound-for-pound champion, and now he's evolving into its pay-per-view king as well.

Mayweather's victory over Juan Manuel Marquez last weekend generated an impressive 1 million pay-per-view buys, HBO Sports announced Friday. The robust result confirms Mayweather's once-debatable superstar status in a sport that thrives on big names in big events.

The bout at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Sept. 19 generated a remarkable $52 million in pay-per-view revenue at its $49.95 suggested price, making it the highest-performing event this year. It's just the fifth non-heavyweight event to generate 1 million buys on a list headed by Mayweather's split-decision victory over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, which had a record 2.44 million.

Most credited that performance to De La Hoya, the sport's top pay-per-view draw before his retirement this year. After leaving boxing for 21 months at the top of his skills, Mayweather appears ready to fill the void left by De La Hoya with a love-me-or-hate-me persona that interests even casual sports fans.

Still, 1 million buys even surprised HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg.

"I'm going to say it's unexpected, but there was always a side of me that knew it was crossing over," Greenburg told The Associated Press. "You have to give some credit to Juan Manuel Marquez's Hispanic fan base, but beyond that, Floyd Mayweather has established himself as a star in the sport. All his work with 'Dancing With the Stars' and the WWE and (HBO reality show) '24/7' has established an image that Floyd projects and that people are interested in."

HBO and Golden Boy Promotions attempted to reach new markets for boxing with a pastiche of Internet events, marketing tie-ins and public appearances. HBO also saw a ratings ****e for the four-part "24/7" series leading up to the fight, suggesting Mayweather's persona and fighting skills were the main draw for that surprising number of fans.

"There's no question he's got a little bit of that Muhammad Ali in him from the '60s," Greenburg said. "There were a lot of people that wanted to see his mouth shut as well, and you can't take your eyes off him."

Mayweather's previous fight against Ricky Hatton in December 2007 generated 920,000 buys before Mayweather took a break during which he danced on network television, pretended to wrestle on cable, and took endorsement deals that raised his profile — although nobody knew just how much until now.

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer anticipated impressive numbers for Mayweather-Marquez on Thursday, saying the fight went "through the roof."

"It's big, very big," Schaefer said. "A lot of people didn't believe us. Maybe I've gained a little credibility with my predictions. Most importantly, I hope the world realizes when we release these numbers that Floyd Mayweather, love him or hate him, is today — without any question, no ifs, ands or buts — the No. 1 pay-per-view star in the world."
The pay-per-view sales apparently weren't even harmed by Golden Boy's decision to show the fight in 170 movie theaters around the country, a strategy that worried Greenburg. Schaefer said the fight played to about 80 percent capacity in theaters, which were once a regular site for closed-circuit boxing shows.

Mayweather-Marquez also scored what's likely to be a clear victory over the pay-per-view telecast of UFC 103, which is thought to have generated only a fraction of HBO's 1 million sales. UFC 103 was a fairly minor card on the league's calendar, yet the two so-called "combat sports" rarely go head-to-head on pay-per-view.
