Early Mayweather/Mosley PPV buyrate projection is....
Collapse

-
...1.4 - 1.5 million buys.
I have a friend at a cable sompany. She works in the VoD group, but she always provides me with estimates.
She said the final nums were a bit softer than last week's projections.
She only has one region of the country, so they project nationals using a formula. It's an inexact science.
If the numbers went crazy in one region, or certain metro areas, it could be a bit higher...or a bit lower. But she said to expect numbers that are generally in line with Delahoya-Pacquiao.
Just some info. Don't ask me for a link. Ignore this info if it has zero credibility with you. No need for snarky commnets.... just sharing what I have.

Truth be told......that sounds about right.....i though it would do 1.8 - 2.0 mil......but then again Shane has never really been a drawcard.........Comment

What's interesting is that...
mayweather/marquez _ sold biog. exceeded expectation. Floyd was criticized for his performance.
mayweather/mosley. didn't meet highes expectations. Floyd was praised fro his performance.
If it comes in at 1.4 million, Floyd will at least LISTEN to 50/50.Comment

But Floyd/Shane overlaps in the same markets:
Urban/African American
LA/Southwest
Hardore fans
Interested casuals
...it doesn't bring in the uninterested mainstreamers.
Still, this fight elevated Floyd's legacy a ton. Earned him a lot of respect.Comment
