Wow, if those are the real numbers then I'm glad because I thought it should've been on HBO Boxing After Dark to begin with.

Let this be a lesson. They could've made more money on Fox or something. PPV should be reserved for fights people want to pay to see. Someone pass this along to Golden Boy Promotions.

This tanked worst than Barrera vs Fana....I thought with Mayorga it would have easily done above 120k.....Guess not perhaps they should use the logic that because it is a hot ticket in Chicago it wont be nationwide....(It sold fairly well because of Golota and McCall as well as Mayorga and the main event)

Let this be a lesson, well scratch that let the debacle of the upcoming September 3rd showdown on Showtime be a lesson......

Every big fight aside from the Brathwaite fight had fighters pull out and 4th row tickets are still available...*ouch*

****er King must really be happy. I bet he was hoping for at least 100 ppv buys

**TyrantT316** · 08-20-2005, 03:34 PM

wow, it did THAT well? I wasn't even expecting 1000 fools to order that crap

**InThisCorner** · 08-20-2005, 04:02 PM

wow who would order this crap anyways? Why didn't they just make the Mayorga fight the main event because no one gived a **** about the heavyweight fight because Barrett isn't a major player anyway....

Based on this, I am guessing that "Heavyweight Heat" does about 10,000 PPV buys.
