Comments Thread For: Sources: Mayweather-Mosley Does 1.2 Million PPV Buys?

[myCoCainE]

Why do people think 1.2 mil buys is a low number? I think it's a good number.

again, whatever the number is, i'm sure it's more than what a pacquiao-mosley match would generate. goodnight.

WRONG!!!

People would rather watch an action fight that Pacquiao brings, than a boring defensive fight that Mayweather brings.

Pacquiao punch output over 1,000. Mayweather punch output under 500.


But that's ok, keep dreaming...

I guess i understand what you're trying to say. but no, i completely disagree because mayweather in my honest opinion is much more popular than pacquiao(think there's ppv numbers to prove that notion as well). i'm sure we agree that mosley wasn't the big generator in this fight..it was primarily mayweather, and again, since mayweather is a bigger attraction ppv wise than pacquiao(although you claim he has "boring fights" or whatever) i stand by my mayweather-mosley fight would out do a pacquiao-mosley fight..just speaking logically though.

*****s and *******s once again fail to realize that squabbling over who has the bigger PPV numbers is just another thing that is just gonna stop this fight from happening.

WRONG AGAIN!!!

Mayweather is MUCH MORE HATED than Pacquiao.

Pacquiao has Millions of fans not just here in the USA, but the WORLD!!!

Mayweather just has his minions and *****S, but definitely "NOT" more popular than Pacquiao.

wait, even if pacquiao has millions of fans around the world that mayweather doesn't, you're gearing off. we're talking about ppv numbers. mayweather has better ppv numbers BOTTOM LINE. i don't care if pacquiao is more "entertaining" or adored in the slums of the tiniest towns in the world. mayweather has btter ppv numbers therefore is a better ppv attraction therefore does more numbers fighting mosley than pacquiao does, point blank, end of story and goodnight for real. peace!

Read this article I just read. Maybe it will make more sense to you.

"How would Pacquiao compare against Mosley?"

I think its reasonable to assume that he could have sold the same amount against Mosley given the same build up. Would Mayweather have been able to sell the same amount against Clottey? Probably not I wouldn't have thought. Mayweather sells when his opponents are perceived as threats. Pacquiao sells either way because the fight will be exciting whatever happens.
