So Mayweather/Mosley failed to exceed Pacquiao/Cotto?

[Sox8055]

exactly, if Pac/Cotto had been aired in movie theaters the ppv numbers would have gone down.

hm..true.

I know many friends dat lived in LA were going to the theather to watch the fight rather than pay 55-65 for the fight....

[johnm is...]

Sweet! More PPV numbers!

but i still think to be making such a fuss over a .1 million ppv buys is just pointless. both fights were a success in my opinion.

LOL this thread got seriously pwned now that we know Mayweather vs Mosley crushed lil fanny again.

thats sucks. Floyd is supposed to be the biggest draw. Mosley has had numerous ppv outings. I mean, this fight was promoted as the biggest fight the last couple of years. It was promoted as the biggest fight of the decade. A super super fight. Schaefer said that this fight was the most heavily promoted fight in the history of golden boy. They were utilizing avenues which never had been used before to sell the fight. Not only that, mosley and may are american fighters. 1.2 millions is still great for boxing, but i have to admit. It does kind of worry me a little because this fight should have done much more than that. how many buys would it have done is mosley never would have stepped into that ring to confront floyd?

you can try to compare those numbers to pac/clottey, but lets be real. That fight didn't even have a 24/7. Only had 2 months of half ass promotion. Clottey doesn't even have a fan base. Yet it still managed to do 700k. If a comparison is going to be done, it has to be to pac/cotto. 1.5 million ppv buys. Pac/cotto did 1.5 millions buys even though:

floyd said cotto was not a ppv attraction
the 24/7 was "boring"
2 non american fighters

after mayweather/pacquiao, we will not have any superfights for a very long time. Its going to be a very unsure time for boxing. Hbo needs to carefully use its budget to promote new fighters.

erm..pac- cotto did 1.25 ppv buys whilst floyd- mosley did 1.4 ppv buys,...get the facts straight..by the way, where did you get the pac-cotto numbers that you quoted??

So first Pac-Cotto sold 1.2 Mill PPVs now 300k more people bought the PPV(somehow).


You're missing the fact that floyd has always said Mosley is not a PPV draw. Numbers don't lie. Cotto-Mosley=360k PPVs. Mosley or Cotto aren't PPV draws. Cotto-Margarito=Just under 500k Buys. Mosley-Margarito=Non PPV but did have the most views for a fight in 2009. Mosley-Mayorga=Non PPV. Mosley-Collazo=Non PPV. These "plenty" of PPV you say Mosley has been i were against Mexicans DLH and Vargas. The DLH-Mosley I fight didn't even get to 1Mill.

So *****s are bragging that Floyd vs Mosley who are both Americans did 275k more than Manny vs Floyd, both foreigners, in America. Wow, that's just ****ing unbelievable, not the ppv difference, but the logic or lack of it from *****s. And who the **** is saying that Cotto is a bigger draw than Mosley, you have to be sooo ******ed to even think that. Especially after Mosley destroyed Margarito, don't you guys think that Mosley's popularity and stardome shot way up after that night, and especially that he's going to fight Gayweather who we all know avoided Margarito. C'mon *****s, use some common sense. But let us face facts, the fact is, Floyd is the bigger draw, no doubt about it, and he should be considering he is AMerican and he is more controversial and definitely is more charming and appealing to the American public, those are facts. That being said, no ****ing way that Floyd should get more than 50/50, and the same goes with Manny, period.
