    I don't think so. I think the hype of Floyd's return overshadows this. I'm expecting around 650K but I have no clue. Either way, the winner will take his place right behind Floyd among PPV leaders.

      Ten days away, it doesn't feel that way.

      I never want any fight to fail. None. Well, maybe if Antonio Tarver was fighting Michael Katsidis...but that can't happen.

        That would be an outright failure.

              I don't want no PPV to fail either. But, sometimes I think posters on here are really hoping and wanting this fight to do less than a million buys. I honestly don't know how much is going to do. I believe it will do at least 700k buys. Some might say that's would a fail. But, in reality not a lot of fighters or fights can do 700k buys. So IMO anything over 700k buys it will be good.

He don't need an HBO to put his fighers on tv. Golden Boy has yet to do great numbers by themselves that does not include Oscar of Mayweather. And, I am not sure if they ever could...
                Well at least they know how to bring a fighters money up and get them out there for the fans can know them and buy their PPV unlike Top Rank.

                  Well that's actually what i'm expecting. A fight with such poor promotion shouldn't be held to such high standards. Two good fighters, one bad promoting company=Fail.

                    Like who name a fighter they did that with without an HBO date?

                      Yeah, I suppose you're right. I'm just not sure what Cotto's star power is right now.
