Only idiots are getting fooled by 1.4 Mil PPV as Great Numbers

[Rabbit ♠]

When promoters say that a fight is going to do such and such numbers it's a marketing tool to generate interest. Why don't people understand this?

Bigger draw: Cotto or Mosley?

This was the mist over hyped over advertised fight of all time. Before the fight many were predicting it will break PPV of dela hoya. 1.4 Mil? Are you kidding me? Pacman-cotto did close to that number and it wasn't near overhyped or advertised.

dude

it did HALF that number not close

in other words

Mayweather Mosley DOUBLED Pacquiao Clottey

Not like this though. They didn't have some Super Gladiator commercials airing on all TV channels, etc.

With that said, all I know is Floyd vs Pac will do CRAZY numbers.

Pacman-Cotto had commercials as well. Maybe not as cool but that's a design issue, not a push. Both had 24/7's...like I said, I think people are forgetting.

I expect 2 million, don't see 1.4 million as a complete failure, but then again i'm not looking for any excuse to discredit this fight.

Nothing pleases me more than to see this level of butthurtism.

Pacman-Cotto was pretty heavily hyped. How quickly we forget..

May and Mosley did interviews besides their ads......remember the superbowl?

Cotto and Pac can barely speak english.

1.4 is a major success but I think those who thought it would do more than 2Million should admit they were really overrating Floyd's drawing power.

I saw a lot of hype, both for Pacquiao/Cotto & Clottey. The difference is that the insiders were hyping this fight to be a tough test for Mayweather.
