So Mayweather/Mosley failed to exceed Pacquiao/Cotto?

[Cash Cow]

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.

I see someone isnt good at math....since when was 1.2 higher than 1.5?



DUMB ASS!!

This is another example of an idiot trying to rewrite history. Pac/Cotto did 1.2 million buys. Mayweather/Mosley did 1.4 million. Pac proved he can do 700,000 buys on his own merits. Floyd proved he can do 1 million buys on his own merits in his fight against Marquez. You haters should stop this childish bull****!

Oh, well, PAc/Cotto > Mayweather/Mosley ("BIGGEST FIGHT OF THE DECADE"). If Floyd is the biggest draw of all time, he could barely beat a "boring" Pac/Cotto?

Floyd fans are scrambling.
