Comments Thread For: Team Mayweather: Mosley PPV Buyrate is 1.4 Million

[Kagami Taiga]

it is amazing that a guy who is not very exciting or a knockout fighter can make

40 ****ing million dollars for one fight.

i know, floyd is a brilliant boxer, i agree, but holy **** he is making

40 ****ing million dollars to out box an opponent???


i can see mike tyson deserving 40 million a fight because he was a ****ing maniac who came to decapitate people, it was crazy tense....


i just cant believe it,

boxing is alive and well

i agree...say what you want about the guy, but he definitely knows how to market himself. ppl want to watch him just like the want to watch guys like bill o riley and listen to guys like rush limbaugh.

This is by no means a failure but Richard Schaeffer shouldn't have opened his big mouth and said $4 Million

Also another Mayweather fight has just broke the $1Million mark and he deserves the bigger split vs Pacquiao

hard to say.....but i think 1.4 million is ok. I was expecting 1.5-1.8....but lets be honest, 1.4 million is huge, and Floyd will want a bigger split now. It's twice what the Clottey PPV numbers were, but i think that is irrelevant given Pac drew 690,000 of those fans and maybe 10K ghanians for clottey.

The real comparison is Pac vs Cotto. Cotto is infact a much bigger draw than Shane, and that fight also had a 24/7.

well i guess no 50/50 now LOL

and why the phuck not? cotto pac did well over a million alone, clottey pac almost hit a million considering clottey = 0 drawpower. it should still be 50/50

[mrjoeblive]

consider......how they went all out in this promotion...............cotto v.s. PAC almost had the same numbers................with no gorilla dog antics......................lol

it was a good showing. you also have to take into account the majority of the phillipino fans boycotted the fight because they didnt want "floyd to do better than pac". i laughed and told all my pinoy friends this will still do good. good boxing is good boxing.

How much did the Floyd vs. Hatton fight sell in the UK? Over a million?

hatton vs mayweather got a 0.9million in the usa and 1million in the uk floyd mayweather is right he is the cash cow of boxing

i think the numbers were good.

shane is not a **** talker or a hype job.

he is pretty much a humble and respectful guy

i think overall he did well with drawing in fans due to his margacheato demolition and floyd did what he does well, cause controversy and catch a lot of public attention.

having said that, i think the split should be 50-50, pac has a lot of fans in the phillipines who will be buying the fight and did fill up the dallas stadium pretty well



just get the fight made, that is all i care about

i agree, a good fight is a good fight

[War Dinamita]

Pinoys boycotted the fight, bars showing the fight, hundreds of thousands of fans watching the fight via illegal stream, close circuit showing the fight, etc.

[mrjoeblive]

Ofcourse it isnt.
24/7 alone probably generate several 100k buys.

People just enjoy needling *******s.

hahahahahahahahahaha, just like tbs, very funny!!!!!!!!!!!

1.4M

Although PPV over there is cheaper, only like 25 euros ($35).
