Pacquiao vs Margarito: 500,000 buys is pushing it.

bigger then Floyd and shane? Not saying that FLoyd and shane did huge numbers but its gonna be hard to top that. I bet if Martinez vs Williams was PPV tht would sell like hot cakes. Who dont want to see Williams get knocked out this time?

BUt well have to wait and see what Margarito and Pac can do. I'll be shocked if the top 500,000 buys.

not sure but i think it'll be close!

Guys like Williams, Martinez and Berto can't sell out their own backyards. The 974 attendance at Berto's last fight should open some eyes.

if pac did 700k with someone like clottey than he will do min. 900k+++ with Tony and his shady backround.

PPV's just don't work that way. Perception and timing is everything.

This is what they call wishful thinking

i honestly don't think this fight will break a million buys, despite the hardcore fans' optimistic predictions.

i predict 700-950K.

I agree. Just not sure where people are getting a mil buys from. This fight won't touch that.

I don't know. I'd say between 600-800k. Maybe a little more, possibly less. Not too much of a swing either direction. I said Mosley-May would do between 1.3 and 1.5 and I was pretty close. People were talking 2 mil buys for that fight. I expect similar disappointment when the #s are released. Truth be told, I expect a lot of controversy regarding the exact numbers for this.

[Bastian Loc]

This fight does at least 1.5 mill.

Maybe more.

In an economic depression, which makes it even more badass.

HBO has to provide accurate accounting for the fight at some point,

[Scott9945]

Timing is everything. And fans are starving for a big fight. This fight reaches the right demographics and will go well over a million.
