Guess What Leonard Ellerbe?????

I did not pay to See Floyd. I paid to watch SSM Knock Floyd out!!!. Yes it was a disappointment that shane did not finish him in the 2nd round. I think you should be Thankful that SSM aged before this fight. If the younger SSM would have been in that ring that night. It would have been lights out for Floyd. OVER. FINISHED. I know your not giving all that PPV buys Credit to just Floyd?

People are getting to spoiled with this PPV numbers from both Floyd and Pac. And, you bring up a good point. We're in the steam era. Imagine the type of numbers both Floyd and Pac would be putting up if there were no streams. Is like the Mike Tyson black box era. It hurts PPV sales because a lot of people are watching for free. But, it also proves how huge boxing still is as a sport. Without mainstream media help.

MMA would give a left testicle to get this type of numbers on a consistent basis.

Very, very true.

1.1 would have been a failure based on everyone as a whole predictions.

I don't know what people can't understand about that. Some fights are held to different standards.

1.4 is good though. Not great for everyone's expectations but successful nonetheless.

I have to disagree anything around the mili mark is a HUGE success. Some of you guys don't understand how hard it is to reach a mili.

as long as hbo , the cable and satellite companies , the promoters and the fighters all made tons of money. it's not a failure. a ppv failure would be something like jones-hopkins 2.

1-1.5 million were realistic estimates anyway. the fight got that.

schaeffer was talking out of his ass with 2 , 3 , 4 million estimates.

Im not even including Schaeffer when I say everyone. Everyone knows he was talking out his ass. Just as a whole it was supposed to do over 1.5. It didnt, and appearance wise it's a semi-failure.

But like I said, I cant call 1.4 a failure. I guessed 1.5-1.6 myself.

[KILLA RIGHT]

Damn good numbers. If gb would of never guessed over 2 mill people wouldn't be dumb enough to call this a disappointment

I really wanna know how the theatre tickets did to

[The Gambler1981]

yeah but these are not official numbers either.

i think iole and ellerbe are both going off estimates.

i wonder when they interviewed ellerbe.

Yea the offical number come out much later but can always be found out later on as HBO is puclicly traded, but I would trust their estimates since they know the business.

1.1-.1.2 early number and 1.3-1.5 in the end are quite good. Hell it is LFoyd's second best number ever and his best ever as the lead man. Can't shake a stick at that.

Floyd just sold DOUBLE Pacquiao's last fight.

Now time for your excuses....GO!

[American Dream]

so it doubled Pacs last fight??

Dude.... Ill say it one more time. Everyone as a a whole. As if you added up everyones prediction and divided by the number of people who predicted, it would be over 1.5..

So visually a number like 1.1 would be a failure for this fight, because some fights are held to different standards.

Obviously money wise, it's not a failure, but it appears that way based on expectations.

this number confirms..................floyds PPV is good...........but not really that great.................

You obviously don't know the history of PPVs that have done over a million buys. Lemme tell you there isn't that many that have done over a million and now Floyd has done 3 and nearly 4 with Hatton. His numbers are well beyond good.
