Pacquiao-Clottey will do less than a million buys

[Check]

The selling point of the fight is that Clottey has never been close of being KAYOED. Seeing the first courtesy of the most exciting fighter today will be a Treat. The Amazing Show always sell.

That doesn't do it for me though. Although the fight may be some what competitive due to Clotteys size and chin, we all know who will win. Big time PPVs should always have a main event that matches two great fighters in a bout that you can see going either way. Clottey has 0% chance against Pac and on top of that the only way he can even remotely make it interesting is by fighting a peek a boo style fight. So in other words, a typical, boring Clottey fight. If he lets his hands go it will be a landslide.

I'll pay for it...I think it will be a war. I'll stream May-Mosley because of Floyd's non-PPV worthy style and overly excessive pricetag.

Pac-Clottey likely won't crack a mill but will probably come close...800-950K buys I'm guessing

[-Antonio-]

Mexicans, Americans, Filipinos, Ghanians, etc will support this ppv. It will reach 1.5 million ppv buys, trust me. The US president is even watching this fight.

It'll make half that at the most. You need two draws to even reach a million. Pac is popular, he's not Mike Tyson.

How many Ghanians in the US are going to order this fight? A few thousand maybe.

People are forgetting that Pac is a STAR now. People will watch just because of him....It will do better than people are thinking and Clottey will be more competitive than people think.

It will hit a million. Floyd fighting a small guy and it hit a Million. Although Mexicans contribute for the most.

Pac's Got the Mexicans, he already beat all Mexicans, as Most Mex said, He's a Now a Mexican too. Although Clottey is no Mexicans, The Mex wants to see Pac Crack this Granite chin of this african guy. Coz it's an Honor for them too coz the only guy Who Beat Pac recently was a Mexican too.

Pac's PPV buys is increasing, He's now the Cash Cow. Clottey might not be popular but This fight has more Cross appeal than Pac's Previous fight. This one has the NFL link, it means the Mainstream crossover. First ever fight in this Grandious Cowboy Arena who recently was featured during the NBA All star game which sets a new attendance record.

The *****s thrash talking accusation helps too, although negative it's still publicity. We have also the MTV cribs, ABDC appearance, Jimmy Kimmel guesting which will pull a lot of new PPv buyers. ohh remember Pac's Recent PPV shows which average in Million buys, How many you think will be repeat customers??? I'm sure those buyers got their Money's worth... they will buy again. You can't say the same with the Floyd fights.

I find that hard to believe since Marquez never had a big ppv event.

I'm not a Floyd fan but
2.4 vs De La Hoya
1.5 vs Hatton (including UK ppv)
1.0 vs Marquez
Floyd ppv average is 1.6 mil ppv.

Did you check Tyson's opponents? He sold a million PPVs against a C Fighter. Clottey was at least a B+ fighter that never been KOed.

What do you think?

I personally won't be shelling out the money for this fight, so I'm guessing a lot of fans will do the same. I don't see this fight selling a million.

500-750K is what it should do.

less than 500k and it's a disappointment.

more than 750k would be a surprise.

That's what Im saying!!

Who the **** cares about PPV numbers. I thought people watch boxing to see a good fight. List the top 10 highest PPVs and tell me which one came even remotely close to being FOTY? Most of those fights ain't even worth watching a second time

[jimmy webb]

Fair enough. I see Pacquiao winning pretty easily due to the points you stated too, but I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles Clottey's watertight defense and also his straight and accurate punches.

And I know I'm in the minority but I think the undercard looks pretty good.

I agree with your thoughts on the undercard. People need to stop looking for big name prospects.

I'd rather watch a great slugfest between a proven vet(Castillo) vs a game Gomez. Rather than watch a hyped up, Saul Alvarez, that will probably blow his opponent out in less than 5 rounds, that or a one-sided beatdown of a Tijuana cab driver.

I also think the D. Diaz vs Dumberto Soto is a terrific matchup. D. Diaz is game, unless your name is PAC. and we all know what D. Soto can do.
