Did ODH v.s. PBF ppv.....hurt PBF's marketability?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Floyd fans are delusion in this respect. They think casual fans actually watch his fights for his fighting style when in fact, it turns people away. But the hype machine brings in a lot of curious prospects who then, get dissapointed as well.

His performances against Marquez and Hatton were really good. I'm surprised at the fact that you're a Chad Dawson fan.

[MANGLER]

No, that fight made him a star. It mighta taught diehards not to buy his PPVs again, but overall it ain't harm him.

[Stoppage]

I think it helped his marketability. Think of it like this:

Mayweather vs DLH did 2.4 million buys.

Pacquiao vs DLH did 1.25 million buys.

That shows that Mayweather has a better marketability than Pacquiao.

Come on man, do you know who JMM is? Its widely known by everyone that he is the left out Mexican. All the Mexicans watch MAB, EM, and Margarito way before they would watch him. He doesnt get the same exposure as them

Im not saying JMM carried the whole fight.............better believe Mexico got his back...........this fight at least.......................do remember it was PBF's comeback fight...where was the clamor?.................all i hear is when will you fight _________?

Im not disagreeing with you although Im not all the way agreeing either. Still, my point is that it doesnt matter. Who cares why they buy it as long as they buy it. Thats what I tried to say to you in the other thread. Hulk Hogan is the worst wrestler of all time. My brother use to be a wrestling junkie and pointed that out to me. He ****** compared to other wrestlers with his overall skill but he sold himself 10x better than everyone else. He knew how to get people to watch him. Floyd knows how to sell himself. It doesnt matter wether its because of his fighting style, or because he is a great salesman, or because you want to see him get KTFO, but its all the same in terms of the PPVs

I dont get the last thing you said. How can you say there was no clamour when he did a Mill in a fight that everyone said it would bomb. Even when people thought it would do good they said 600,000 but most thought it would bomb. Instead he did over a mill. That means people did want to see him

[Pullcounter]

yes it did the biggest number of PPV.........but most of those who payed for it wish they just waited for the replay..........it simply didt deliver.............Mr. mayweather have been having a hardtime convincing people he is worth the $$$$$ in the ring.....yes hes "entertaining" in his own way outside the ring..........but he just cant carry a PPV on his own like ODH......................PAC aint a PPV star like oscar too.......but atleast his style............converts people back to boxing

people pay to watch him lose, not to watch him win.... he's p4p the biggest douche bag in boxing

[SkillspayBills]

Not sure how much it hurt since his last two fights after that got over 1 million ppv buys.

I really wonder why people say dumbass **** like the OP.

[Jiddu Dali]

it was less than delahoya.........and hatton had a country behind him.........................JMM i give him that..........i wonder what percentage was from mexico though.......

DLH-Pac = 1.25 PPV

Pac-Cotto= 1.25 PPV
