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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

THEY HAVENT HAD NEARLY ENOUGH TIME TO COUNT ALL THE PURCHASES YET

Whoever told Iole that is kidding himself

Sometimes there are estimates made by the early count numbers. Arum had an early count on Pacquiao-Clottey and predicted somewhere around 700-800K. Usually the early counts end up being a few 100,000 higher or lower. I expect 1.6, 1.7 tops.

Veteran boxing scribe Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports was advised by "good sources" that last Saturday's HBO pay-per-view featuring Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley generated an early buyrate figure of around 1.1 to 1.2 million, which is not much higher than the 1 million buys generated by Mayweather's pay-per-view with Juan Manuel Marquez last September.

Kevin Iole is NEVER right. Guy is not the best journalist by a long shot

Kevin's early predictions on PPV numbers are always wrong, but I think he's the best overall writer in the sport. I like Iole alot.

Geez if it's correct, golden boy once again lost money by guaranteeing floyd 22 million. half of the $55 on ppv goes to the cable provider

You know, as much as I hate Fraud(and maybe people starting to realize that now), it is a bad sign for boxing. Let's say Fraud does have some sort of attraction and marketability based on his outside the ring persona...he had a VERY good dance partner in Mosley. A very well name, and that alone should be enough to have done better buys than that. Think about this. Pacquiao-Mayweather comes and goes, THEN WHAT?! WTF is left in boxing? Sure there is young talent, but how long we need to wait for a new stars? MMA already got plenty and is easily grabbing everyone's attention. Boxing needs serious help quick!

no way that number is right. it took them what almost 2 weeks for them to tell us pac-clottey did 700,000 but yet it only takes 2 days to count 1.2 million GTFOH I don't believe this one bit.

So Pacquiao who is not American sold more PPV against another non-american Cotto than both American Mayweather/Mosley?

If pac and May fights, it should be a 50/50 split.

Mosley was never an attratction. He was gettin ready to split 3 million and fight on hbo with berto in a unification bout. So don't give me that VERY good dance partner. yeah people know who he is. But that doesn't mean they wanna pay to see him.
