Margarito supposedly has a following, but the fight still didn't draw the 1.5 million that Arum claimed and predicted. Mosley cannot draw flies and even hard-core boxing fans won't buy this fight. If hard core fans won't buy it, what they hell makes your ****** ass think that casual fans will buy it? How many fans did Mosley draw in his last PPV against Sergio Mora? The answer is we don't know because the numbers were so low that HBO refused to release them. If Pac has never drawn more than 1.2 million on PPV and the only time he has drawn more than 1 million has been when he fought three Hispanics (De La Hoya, Cotto, Margarito) with a good following, what the hell makes you think he will draw more than 1 million with a guy who the networks won't even put on PPV as the featured attraction?


    Is that objective enough for you, dumbass?
    You just making a whole bunch of ******ed statements.

    How many events have done 1.5mil? What is your point?

    Schafer predicted Mayweather-Mosley to do what was it? 2mil? 3mil? What is your point?

    Worst case scenario their "24/7 like" series it's on CBS then it will have the same exact ratings that it would have on HBO. Worst case scenarios it would do the same PPV buys it would have if it was on HBO PPV. Again this is the worst case scenario.

    Now that is objective for your dumbass.

      I laugh at the idiots, yes idiots saying it will not do 1m, just use your common sense, this is the biggest boxer in terms of reputation and fan base in the world
      Yet, somehow, he is consistently outsold by that OTHER guy.

      Go figure.

        Do manny's fights EVER meet expectations?

        Why would this one be any different? It will fall short like all the others.

          No doubt, and in reality I hope this **** kind of flops TBH. I would love for Golden boy and HBO to counter program with Mexican theme on free HBO for the Cinco de Mayo weekend. I hope UFC does something big for May 7. Because maybe if it flops and I'm talking about less than 700k type flop. Then it could get Pac to go back to his 08-09 type of run.

          However, I don't see how this move hurts the event at all. If anything it will help the event. Because, at the end of the day the people that were going to order it and watch it on HBO PPV will still do it on Showtime. That is really the worse case scenario. The only thing they will be banking on is to CBS viewers who were not thinking about ordering it or didn't know about to order the event.

          For this event I don't see how it hurts. But, in the bigger picture I can see something HBO=GBP/Floyd and Showtime=Top Rank/Pac. That we would get nothing close to a big fight. And, that would hurt the sport in general.

            HBO=Lewis and Showtime=Tyson. It happened. Keep the faith.

              Pac conceded that a long time ago. It was obviously much more important to Floyd.

                There is NO WAY Pac got a $15 mil guarantee.


                NO WAY.

                  Over a mil. Pac is the biggest star worldwide and shane is probably one of the most recognizable active American fighters out there. And according to Reuters, CBS is the most watched tv network in America...All the CSI shows, Survivor, and that Charlie Sheen show are all on CBS. If done right, this could be a huge sell for Pac/Mosley

                    If he did, Showtime is going to be folding very soon.

                      It will do over a million IMO. But anyway, i'm just glad that i won't have to hear/see Larry and Lampley having their ****** on TV.
