Mayweather vs Mosley does $11.1 million in live gate revenue

[b4real]

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

Crossover appeal ...... Um lets see dancing with the stars , interviews by every major news outlet WWE list goes on ..... He is the Uk second or third favorite or covered boxer.....

i actually went to that pac-clottey, most mexicans an Filipino were there for manny an the americans were there for the stadium.

hell i really just went for the stadium an to see some boxing.

an floyd definitely isn't on Tyson's level of popularity i have relatives that know who floyd is but my grandmother knew who tyson was.

theres no way Floyd is on Tyson's level. Tyson is a world figure in terms of popularity, he's only a shade under Ali. If those guys were around today we'd be seeing 3 mill+ ppv records.

pacquiao-hatton had a live gate revenueof $8.8 million

Numbers dont lie..and we know mosley is nowhere near the same draw as hatton or cotto, the ppv numbers for mayweather vs mosley will prove this again...

The tickets for Mayweater-Mosley were far more expensive and that's why the show did not sell out. Pacquiao-Hatton was a sellout. Of course the gate will be bigger when the tickets are that expensive.

exactly.. if the tickets for mayweather-mosley was the same as pacquiao vs cotto or pacquiao vs hatton it would have sold out too, but we know floyd fights are more expensive than pacquiao therefore he did 11.1 million dollars compared to the 8 million of cotto and hatton...

hell pacquiao vs clottey sold had a gate of 50,000 yet it still did around 4 million in gate...i heard some of the tickets were given out though

question for you: the gate will be the bigger if the tickets are more expensive...so why didnt cotto-pacquiao have more expensive tickets? it could have potentially done more in gate and hence more financial revenue and money to be made...boxing economics man

Some people don't understand simple economics.

Would you rather sell 50,000 widgets and make 4 million dollars?

...or sell 15,000 widgets and make 11 million dollars?

I heard the cheapest ticket was $350 and the most expensive was $3,000+.

Pac-Clottey's cheapest tickets were $50 and most expensive were $1,500.

If I was greedy and didn't care about the sport I'd fight in a small arena and have huge markup in ticket price.

But in order to showcase Boxing on the biggest stage I'd gladly sell 50,000 tickets cheaply in order to demonstrate Boxing's drawing power and create future fans for the sport.

Call me naive, or call me a diehard boxing fan, but that's the way I'd do it.
