Dan Rafael: "Cotto-Mayorga 200K PPV buys, could reach 250K"

[AnimalisticMeth]

Cotto/Shane did 250k, but I believe it was only Cotto's second fight on PPV. Cotto/Marg did 500k and Manny/Cotto did 1.25 million which is the highest of Manny's career, more than Oscar. I'm not sure if Manny/Mosley will do more but seeing as it will be on CBS (360 anyway) I think it will, but it wouldn't be because Mosley is a bigger draw (he did less than 100k with Sergio Mora) it'd be because Fight Camp 360 was available in like 120 million homes compared to the 20 million you get with 24/7.

Cotto-Mosley did 400K. Cotto-Judah was the one that did 250K.

and you guys were hating on pac for making 700k against an even bigger nobody in Clottey.

Its not that he did a high number, its the fact that lost half a million buys by fighting a nobody, by not having a "name" on the card his buy rate went down by nearly 50% thats just ****TY.

And my bad on the Cotto/Mosley numbers, didn't realize they were that high.

thats ok to be fair

if it did 200k i would call it about average, maybe a slight disappointment. considering that mayorga was about to fight MMA a year ago, and was coming off one tune up - and without a signature win in almost a decade, not too bad. mayorga, i thought as well did a good job with his usual pre-fight antics. just wasn't the interest in this fight, that, coupled with the fact HBO was showcasing one of the fastest rising stars in the game for free.

[IMDAZED]

The last people I'd go to for the numbers is Top Rank. However, I can see this fight topping out at 200k. Showtime did one hell of a job promoting it . I'm pretty sure they'll have better luck with Pacquiao-Mosley but I'm beginning to smell bad news in the air for Bob Arum. Should be interesting.

Lol there goes the "Cotto is the 3rd best PPV seller in boxing". 3rd has to be Marquez or Mosley. Even Hopkins can sell 200k PPV's and he's known as a fighter who can't really draw PPV's.

Cotto-Mosley did 400K. Cotto-Judah was the one that did 250K.

Stop inflating numbers

Cotto-Judah did 255k[ you were right on that one]

But Mosley-Cotto did less than 400k.

LOL there goes Marquez or Mosley number 3 PPV draw. Marquez Diaz 2 did like 100K or less? and Mosley? are you serious?

threads like this is a welcome development in boxing really. its indicative of how the sports of boxing has progressed. every bout of well known fighter is viewed like the nyse, at the end of the fight everyones waiting if the stocks are down or up. its like everyones turned like an investor or prospector. dang, boxing is at the forefront again, when will baseball/soccer/basketball/nhl/nfl follow suit. boxing is showing them the way yeahh. their fans should also start monitoring their teams sales.
