Do you think Pac/Margarette will do 1 to 1.5 Million PPV Buys???

I agree with that, but ultimately I don't see people not watching it at all if the show isn't filled with 90% comedy and 10% Boxing. Now I'm not gonna lie and say I enjoyed Roy vs Calzaghe's 24/7 (which I think we can all agree was the worst of the bunch), but there's plenty to build off both Pac and Margarito that IMO will make for an interesting 24/7.

I agree. As a 24/7 that will prepare us for the two fights that matter:

Pac vs Floyd for P4P supremacy

Cotto vs Margarito 2, a very personal fight

the show isn't aimed towards fight fans like the 360 show is. 24/7 is its own lil sunday night miniseries with its own ratings. Its geared towards non boxing diehards. It has to offer them something to get them to buy the fight, which is really the last installment of the miniseries.

Ya it'll do less than a mil.

i think it does better numbers than the clottey fight. 900k would be a success. anything less than 700k & manny has no arugment to make for getting 50-50 with floyd.

How come 900k would be a success and people claimed May/Mosley was a failure at 1.5. IMHO anything less then 1 million+ buys will result in him having no reason to make any demands on Mayweather.

EDIT; HOW MUCH IS PAC MAKING FOR THIS FIGHT?

I agree, but at the end of the day you are watching 2 fighters being chronicled for 3-4 weeks. The people watching, though some may not be huge Boxing fans, are intrigued enough about Boxing to watch a 24/7 series for a few weeks that inevitably is made to promote a fight. If people want outright entertainment, there's always Jersey Shore or Entourage .

If Cotto doesn't resign with Top Rank after 2010 (which I believe is when his contract ends or after 4 fights...whichever came 1st from what I read), I doubt we'll ever see that rematch (unfortunately).

I don't think anymore hype can be made on Pac vs Mayweather unless Martians came down to Earth and started placing bets.

who said 1.5 million was a failure for floyd? maybe it had to do with golden boy's projected 3 million ppv buys. 1.5 mill is not a failure. as for how much money these fighters make, it should be of no concern to you & i.

first of all, you must not have been on this site, cause a lot of people were claiming May/Mosley was a failure cause of the 3 million buys claim, which anyone with a brain would have known was bull**** and just hype. and as for how much Pac is making, i'm just curious, I could give a **** less what your concerns are, but i like info, plus i apologize cause the edit question wasn't directed at you, but anyone who could answer.

I don't know, but Tito/DLH did 1.4 million and that magnitude of that fight was more then double than that of Manny/Margarito.
