Would Mayweather vs Pac break the PPV record?

dont think so, these 2 might have done over 1 million buys in their last fights but they are still not as huge as oscar, every one knows oscar. i would not be one bit surprised if it did 1.9 million. but people talking about it doing 3 million arre crazy. thats the kind of viewer ship that FREE networks think is great, imagine 3 million buying $55 worth of tv...

I say this fight will do at least 2 mil. You have the boxing fans, and the fans that just buy big fights. Mayweather will be doing trash talking for himself and Freddie Roach will be doing the trash talking for Manny. That always hype fights up.

Especially when lots of people think they will finally get to see Mayweather knocked out (I'd bet my paycheck thats not going to happen). So its going to be a crazy promotion. I think they should let Goldenboy handle the majority of the promotion though.

BS, it breaks the record and there's no question it does.

This fight will get promoted to no end. Mexican, Filipino, Black and causual fans will buy this fight.

honestly though, dont try and tell me that these 2 fighters are on De La Hoyas level. Just because hard core boxing fans on here are salivating over this fight does not mean that some of the hundreds of thousands that bought DLH-Mayweather are. what kind of world do we live in when 1.9 million buys isnt enough?

fact stands:
people that know Oscar>people that know Mayweather/Pac

I think it would get close to 3 million. I don't understand why anyone would say that it would do 1.5 max. If Pac/Cotto can do 1.25 why would anyone think Pac/Mayweather would only attract 250,000 more buys? It would do somewhere between 2-3 million buys. The buildup to the fight on ESPN and other sporting networks would probably be greater than the buildup to Floyd/DLH because Pacquaio has been much more impressive than DLH leading up to that fight and Floyd has only enhanced his resume with the general public.

It will probably be in the 2mill mark but I see no way in it beating The World Awaits.

well a good example is my cousin (who never watches boxing) asked me if they were going to fight and told me it would be the first ppv he bought. So if it draws people like that who I woulda never guessed would watch it, who knows.

[mrpain81]

With Golden Boy/Top Rank and HBO promoting this fight like no other mega fight in history I think it will do over 3 million buys.

[Dorian]

I doubt it but if anything will ever come close to that it's this fight for sure.

I could see it do 2 million.
