Would Mayweather vs Pac break the PPV record?

[sisforshaq]

Im pretty sure it would because you know the promotion is going to be insane for it. Any guesses on buys if it happens?


I'd say close to 3 mill.

(Record is 2.44 Mayweather vs Oscar)

IDK, i for one wouldn't support it but i'll watch it.

I know it will seriously sell but to beat the 2.4 that May and de la hoya set is gonna be hard. Having said that, the way Arum has been talking about all the promotion he woud run for this fight is crazy.. he's talking about a nation wide press tour, countless radio and tv ads and having both fighters on Good Morning America, and other talk shows.. with that amount u would have to expect at least 2 mil...

[Idgas]

i don't think it's going to break records. i say 1.5m.

[sisforshaq]

Plus I heard if it happens they might do it in the Cowboys stadium.. that would be insane.

[KILLA RIGHT]

Call me crazy but i honestly think it could do 3 milli..especially if it's in dallas stadium imagine the hype it will get

i dont like ufc/mma or nothing but some mma fans educated me that ufc 100 did 1.5 million buys and the only reason they did it was, because they had a main event (lestner and someone) and an awsome undercard(had like 4 fights that could of each been a small ppv).

If pac vs. may could do something similar it would reach 3 million, if it has an usually *****y card, then it does 2.2-2.5 million

It might even be beyond 3 million buys. I'm gonna say around 2.7-2.9, though.

Nah, I dont see the undercard making any difference in this fight. Undercards are really just for hardcore fans like us. Mainstream fans dont care much about Undercards because they dont really know any of the guys and half the time they are partying or dont get there until the Main Even starts anyways. The undercards are for us but us hardcore fans are going to buy it anyways because the main even is such a big fight

doubt it, for the simple reason that de la hoya was more popular amongst non boxing fans than either fighter, and de la hoya obviously loved by the huge hispanic fan base...

if you put israel vasquez and rafael marquez in the undercard, it will
