Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Mosley Buyrate Chatter Builds For 1.2 Million

[steaway]

Those numbers would be 300k shy of what I expected but anything over a million buys is a success in my view. It's still better than Pacquaio/Clottey's 700k

i was thinking the same thing...b-side? Cotto has a following...thats what is upsetting about pac..everyone gives him more credit then he deserves just cause he is pac. Thats why he gets the benefit of the doubt concerning the drug test. Imagine it was mayweather that did not want to take the test and pac was the one that asked for them? Just imagine that...

you could flip that, imagine if it was pac who ask for the test that kill the fight, everyone will be calling pac a ducker who uses that additional unnecessary, unheard test that kill the fight. I would be calling pac a ducker too if he did that thing.

Based upon the ongoing chatter among industry insiders, the final buyrate number for the Floyd Mayweather-Shane Mosley pay-per-view is going to fall in the realm of 1.1 to 1.2 million buys. When Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole dropped those figures several days ago, most believed the figures were "too low." BoxingScene.com spoke with several industry figures in the last two days and almost all of them have said "Iole's figures are pretty accurate." [Click Here To Read More]

sounds about right......shane never has been a huge draw.....was still expecting 1.5 milli though given the promotion.

to the poster that said the average monthly income in the philippines is about 200.00/month...

heres is a link with samples of monthly incomes in the phillippines (IN u.s dollars) in the non peverty / big cities

i dont see any jobs that pays $200.00/month...again, you are only basing your info off of the poverty section of where pacquiao grew up, not the bigger cities in the phillipines.

[geribeetus]

was hoping for 1.5. fans predicting 2+ just got lied to

[steaway]

It's still a success. Floyd/Manny will do 2 million

[Reloaded]

Well, the split will not be a problem then.

Thats what I was thinking , kinda hope it is a little lower than Pac Cotto then we wont have any purse problems in negotiation like if Floyd would have romped in the numbers .

[waxfondler]

haha, whys this guy always so angry

haha. and they probably think clottey was responsible for 700k as well.

[waxfondler]

where did you get that fabricated figure from? There were 110,00 buys from PR, not 600,000

Would have been more buys if Time Warner Cable didn't miss things up down here in San Antonio....couldn't get them to buy.....

False. I drove home just to order this fight in SA. My HD PPV worked just fine. Anything less than 1.75 is huge disappointment. Period. No spin needed. And the "mega" bout will be no different. He was up against his "toughest" comp to date and how did the public respond? The public perception that pbf is unbeatable has permeated throughout and the jig is up. Boxing has hit its ceiling also.

But then on the other hand, how many million plus buys has the golden boy had or any other fighter had? I guess there is some truth to pbf's perceived generating power. But, he does grossly over rate it.
