Can Hopkins-Jones II get 1million PPV buys?

[royjuniorroy]

I am presuming it will have a HBO 24/7, if there is alot of trash talking from jones and hopkins, and alot of heat/hype on the major networks as the fight draws near to get the average interested, can this PPV top 1million buyrate which would be crazy considering these 2 fighters are not near retirement and not anywhere near their primes, which means a insignificant fight to the average new-age boxing fan.

i dont think it will reach 1million because of there age but if theres a 24/7 the trash talk might get them a lot of buys but im not sure if im personally going to order this fight.

[aristotlemoses]

I don't think it can.

[Don Johnson]

I'm not tooo sure, the need to have one helluva Ad campaign for this fight, B-hop has to pick a credible opponent for his tuneup and really whoop his ass. It can do 1 million but if not I'm guessing 800k.

[S.G.]

Nah. 500k-600k would be decent.

[Grand Champ]

If they promote the fight just right, do an entertaining 24/7 and train hard for the fight it CAN get 1mill PPV buys. Everyone knows RJJ and Bernard. They should be promoting this fight on their names and legacy.

Probably not. I just don't see it outdoing Hop-DLH which did around a million.

I think this fights is either going to be really great or really bad. Nothing in between. I dont know if i want to order it or not.

I doubt it'll go past 500k to be honest.
