Which PPV number was a letdown based on predictions: PAC's 1.15M or Floyd's 1.4M?

[Eaner0919]

by all fairness why didnt you include the cotto fight?

because I forgot lol

adding in Cotto's 1.2 brings the average to 1.04

[Eaner0919]

i agree that based on numbers alone, NEITHER was a letdown. but this thread is not that but with a premise of a prediction. if you were a promoter and truly expecting MORE THAN HALF of what you really got, how would you feel.

dude I know you are looking for an angle to **** on Mayweather but did you really take the word of Schaefer seriously?

did you really think he did research when he said this?

cmon man

actually this was a dig at the dominican kunt, not mayweather. in any case, who does research really into ppv predictions? or how do they do it.

To balance it out more evenly it also has to average with the same amount of fights. You can't average Pac's last 5 fights vs. Floyd's 4. Either take out Clottey or add another floyd ppv fight.

Actually they say 4 million and they just missed 2.6 million

Pacquiao basically sold 1.15 alone .

Just look how much PPV Margarito sold in his last fight,
it was around 10 000 PPV s.

the same thing could be said about shane--he went back to fighting on undercard fights and espn-lol---look at marquez's numbers before he fought floyd---

neither was a let down imo--i don't listen to what schaffer says---i knew may vs mosley wouldn't sell as much as he predicted---only may vs manny would and could sell that much on ppv---

[JDezi4]

Considering Mosley is not a draw by himself, and Margarito is, it should be an easy call. I personally think Shaefer was over thinking if that's what he predicted.

[Sweet Jesus]

I don't understand how a boring runner outdraws an all-action fighter.

[Alibata]

Recalculated. Actually Floyd = an average of 1.453 not 1.53 so 1.45 and Pac without Clottey to even out the 4 best is 1.11 so Floyd has outsold many by 340k ppv buys...If you add clottey which would be 1 more fight then Floyd Pac would have outsold floyd by 360k ppv buys. What other ppv's did floyd have aside those 4 and which was the highest selling outside the ? to better compare the best 5

[minasyan]

I hate them all

The big boys with millions of dollars getting upset that 35k people turned up or what ever it was and 1.15 million in PPV lol

[Alibata]

Now if you were to average the pre de la hoya numbers
Floyd
Zab Judah - 374,000
Arturo Gatti - 365,000
Carlos Baldomir - 325,000

Average = 354,667

Manny
Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch - 400,000
Erik Morales 3rd Match - 360,000
Marco Antonio Barrera Rematch - 350,000

Average = 370000

Many outsells Floyd by 15,333
