PAC fans had it right all along... Experts and Floyd fans were all wrong!!

[tacoboxer]

I thought Taffett did come and spoke about the PPV numbers?

Where?

Usually there is a big announcement about it and you see it posted all over the websites that are dedicated to boxing coverage.

I can guarantee you didn't see any announcement on this website from either HBO or Golden Boy Promotions.

Not good for Floyd (in terms of having negotiation advantage....)

What are you getting at TS?

Is it really a secret about how much Floyd-Mosley sold? I thought we all knew what it sold.

green k. thx for the honesty.

[Pullcounter]

surely 1.4 million was a disappointment to GBP and HBO. they were projecting much much more.

[Dick Buffman]

No announcement from Richard Schaffer at Golden Boy Promotions.....

Nothing from Mark Taffett at HBO....

Isn't it common practice for Broadcasters and Promoters to make a big deal about the numbers they do?

They why so quiet about Mayweather v Mosley?

I had to dig around to find that "Broadcasting and Cable" announced on 5/11 that Mayweather v Mosley did 1.4 mil ppv buys. (see -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/11/2010 2:46:58 PM By David Tanklefsky)

I am a Money May fan and I bought the fight..... I also bought the 2 mill ppv buy estimate that Golden Boy and HBO were selling pre-fight..... I thought it was in the bag!!! (I never believed 2.5 - 4 mill were possible.... but surely 1.5 to 1.7 mill.... right?)

WRONG!!!!!!!

The truth is PAC fans were right all along..... Mayweather / Mosley wasn't going to ever come close to even 2 million buys!

Experts and Floyd Fans couldn't have been more wrong about Floyd being a Mega PPV SuperStar (and I include myself in this group...)

I'm resigned to the fact that due to the lack of any official announcement from Golden Boy Promotions or HBO:

1) Mayweather / Mosley and its 1.4 mill ppv buys.... was a disappointment to HBO and Golden Boy.

2) With all the additional promotion (media coverage, 24/7, ect...) the Mayweather / Mosley fight only sold 700k more than Pac / Clottey.

3) We will never hear any official word from HBO or Golden Boy Promotions on why their projections were so wrong on this supposed mega-fight.

4) Any negotiation advantage that Mayweather assumed he would/should have because of ppv drawing power is now out the window.

If May / Mosley can't sell 1.5 mil.... forget Mayweather / PAC outselling the Mayweather / De La Hoya Fight.

Richard Schaffer and Mark Taffet must be still trying to figure out how to spin this into a positive...... the problem is this time..... there is no answer!!!

Great post. But the accurate number is 1.1 million that Iole came out with.

The 1.4 figure is a manipulated figure by HBO and GBP.

The fight was a total bust.

Who ever said it was a secret? I for one just think that HBO and Golden Boy have egg all over their face because of what a flop the fight was in comparison to the build up.

Here is the point... In the eyes of the Broadcaster and Promoter this fight was a failure and so was Floyds ability to sell it!!! If it was a glowing success and Mayweather was truly the Mega Superstar PPV Giant.... you would have seen a series of follow up press conferences with all the HBO and Golden Boy top brass telling you what a great product they put out and why you should buy the next big fight.

Instead of hearing about ppv numbers from the usual suspects.... we only hear rumors from a blog by Kevin Iole from ESPN or we get a short story from Mayweather handlers about what the fight sold (neither of which could be substantiated by either HBO or Golden Boy Promotions).......

The fight was a failure compared to the hype.... thats the point.

so are you what they call a realist.... or a conspiracy theorist?

Where are your facts to back up your 1.1 mil number?

I bet 100% of my points (21,899.40) that you dont provide even 1 credible source or article to back up your claim..... take me up on my offer or get off my thread!

I guarantee this is the last we hear from Jack Burton on this thread!!!!
