Mayweather vs Mosley does $11.1 million in live gate revenue

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Shoulder roll killed this thread..lol.

[PH|L]

Mayweather vs Mosley could have sold 500K PPVs and you'd still have people in here trying to convince others that Floyd is a bigger draw than Pacquiao.

The fact that people were expecting more than 2 Million PPV sales will get washed away and quickly forgotten.

But it didn't..Anyway, i don't care about all that because i'm not getting a penny out of it..But it just shows you that Floyd is the biggest draw and the best boxer in the sport even though some find him to be boring..

I wonder what Klitschko's gates are in Germany if he's bringing in 50k people and Germany isn't cheap.

I'd imagine it's more than this, because of size of arena and cost of tix.

boxing can be addicting and some are forced to pay an overpriced ppv to see their favorite boxers.

I don't know about you, but I like my fights live.

It's painful when I have to watch something recorded.

I like the real time excitement so I pay the cost for that.

thats what i've been thinking. like Mayweathers numbers are great but he couldnt do what Klitschko does in Germany, so to me you need that crossover appeal. I feel like Manny has more of that than Floyd

[And Still]

Where does 11 million rank all time for boxing gates? I gotta guess it is a top 10 gate of all time.

11.1 million will give Floyd 2 of the top ten, and three of the top 15 gates in the history of boxing.
