Pacquiao vs Mayweather PPV numbers

[ИATAS]

When did this board start caring about PPV nums so much?

That is a question. Not an insult.

for years, where u been?

I generally don't care, but this will be historically significant which is worthy of discussion imo. Some people are saying it could actually reach the 5 million mark, which is insane.

[Easy-E]

2.8-3.0 imo.

lol @ MMA in 2010.

Unfortunately jokes on boxing after the fight when both pac and may retire. There's noone thats goona or can carry this sport sadly. Only way i can see boxing completing its resurgence is if david haye viciously KO's both klit bros then proceeds to dominate the HW division for 5 + years lol

There is no way of telling who will be a future star in boxing and when. I mean really, who in america knew who Pacquiao was 3-5 years ago?

I said 2.5 million, there is only 3 months to promote the fight. If the fight happens at vegas instead of dallas, then thats 80,000 people who will have to find someother way of watching it, which means more ppv #s

[KESSLER]

My guess is 3 million.

That's what I think (not enough time to promote), except I don't think it breaks the record. 2.1 million buys.

I think it will do 3 million easily, maybe more.

March 13 is perfect. It's surrounded by big events, but not up against any of them. It's a month after the Super Bowl and the Olympics, a few days before March Madness, a month before the Masters and the NBA Playoffs. The first Saturday of May has been a great boxing day the last decade or so, but it kind of gets mixed into the shuffle with the Derby and the NBA and NHL Playoffs and all the season finales of different TV Shows.

It's perfect timing with all the sports programming in February/March. Golden Boy/Top Rank can buy a Super Bowl commercial and does a ton of commericals in front of the Olympics and Conference title games in NCAA hoops promoting the fight and 24/7. If they have the budget, and they should, they can extend the marketing dollars more effectively than if it was happening the first week of May.

This fight is going to be a monster. 3 million buys is not out of the question.
