Mayweather….sells more.

Congratulations to Floyd for bringing the fans back to boxing...great for THE SPORT.

What planet is this moron from?

An American fighter out selling a non American fighter in ppv sales IN AMERICA!

Fact is Hatton/Mayweather sold more ppv`s in Britisher than in America with 6x the population.

Your post mnakes zero sense. With all due respect. Gatti never had a PPV without Floyd. Why not? And the Judah fight sold more than the Gatti fight. Are you saying that Judah was the draw?

Clarify.Please

This is how Floyd sold the Gatti fight:

The Gatti fight was the jumpstart of Floyd's prize fighting days and Atlantic City was Gatti's territory. That is the point I was making with that statement, reinforcing the fact that Floyd was never the draw in any of the fights he has participated in. He has on the other hand played a part of the buys because like previously stated he did make a great villain, which is a reason for adding hype around the fight. But never and I mean never has Floyd been the drawing pugilist that he and his team claims he is. If you dissect the numbers of PPV buys in the JMM fight more than likely you will have a huge audience of PPVs coming from the Latin community and people who bought into the HBO hype machine of 24/7. And lets be honest, JMM was the interesting character of this 24/7 edition by drinking his urine and showing his training. Floyd's training regimen, was and has been the same Xerox, choreographed pad workout from all the other 24/7 episodes. It’s impressive the first time you watch it but becomes unappealing after so many times watching the same redundant workout with him doing the same sit-ups, jump ropes, speed bag workouts…the workout is not mesmerizing anymore. Therefore, I speculate that the majority of PPV buys were in the anticipation of fans actually believing that JMM had a chance of actually competing in this bout. Once, again the casual fan or main event watchers as I like to put it were fooled by a great marketing and business savvy genius in Team Mayweather and HBO. The real analysts and fans were not so easily fooled and foresaw the outcome of this fight the minute the contracts were signed.

Mayweather: 950K
Pacquiao: 825K

You got to understand how the trend goes... Manny got increasing popular after fighting dela hoya.... One can point out that boxing isn't what it use..There's a lot of factors that come into play like better technology where people bootleg ppv fights more efficiently or you can argue that boxing died a bit, and has a tremendous competition with UFC. You got to put all the factors together before you make an assessment and conclusion. I want to put an emphasis on that hatton fight because that's when Manny last fight and where he got some followers of his own and that could still be increasing. To do that much in the time like this i think is unbelievable. The only way to determine as to who attracts more buys is to fight them with same fighter, same amount of following, and at exact same time-line- which is almost impossible to do.

Another false analysis would be comparing the fight with Cotto vs Hatton against Mayweather vs Marquez because those are two different fighters with different number of followers, popularity and other factors like i mentioned before. What would happened if that fight do more than 1m buys? would that change your mind as to which person attracts the most in sales/buys.

I think you should do a little more research before making your comparison. Nice try!

Floyd went up against UFC PPV view and fought JMM and still put up 1 million. People have been stealing PPV fights for a long time. I remember when somebody brought up Tyson and if his sales were lowered because of the "black box" that most people had back then.

Floyd has the better numbers in comparison. Few knew Hatton in the States until Floyd fought him and the PPV did well. Hatton was the draw but Floyd helped get those numbers up. Same with Oscar.

Now maybe fighting Hatton and Oscar after Floyd fought them and beat them took the sting out of the PPV sales...possible. But the same can be said with Floyd fighting JMM and having him move up in weight...although they sold the point that the fights with Pac were close.


With Cotto vs. Pac...this fight should be HUGE. More people I know are bigger fans of Cotto and are willing to pay to see him fight than JMM. Given the circumstances of this fight, this fight should be expected to make 1+ million. Even topping Floyd vs. JMM. Because if it doesn't, well, it just gives Floyd arsenal against Arum/Pac's numbers.

Most of the people here will do comparison between the fight of pac vs cotto and mayweather vs jmm as to who attracts more buys without looking at the entire picture.

also people forget about the money coming in outside America and how well their promoters promote the fight.

In this case, Pacquiao should not demand higher (as what I've been saying eversince)...

If Pac-Cotto outsells PBF-JMM then he can demand bigger... until then, he don't have the right to ask for more..

Just to be fair its the same goes for PBF who asked 60-40 split

Dont get why people are fighting over PPV numbers, Mayweather has done his thing and prove alot of people wrong end of story....Credit should go to both fighters for the number generated, Now we all need to look forward to other fights and hope it generates good number and keep the levels up.

Yes. HBO did that.

I will quote mark taffet: "The fight sold strongly across ALL demographics".
Mexicans or Latinos alone have NEVER and can NEVER generate a million buys. If you disagree with that, I invite you to provide examples to the contrary.
