    Yes, you order it through your cable provider, not showtime itself.

      I guarantee you that 95% of the people who watched and will watch this Fight Camp series have never heard of Sergio Mora, unless they remember him from the Contender. All the casuals know is that it's Pacquiao fighting Mosley, who they've heard of from the DLH, Mayweather, etc fights. Doubt they know (or care) he's coming off a draw against some guy they don't know.

      People always underestimate the power of hype and good marketing. EASY 1 mil buys, wouldn't be surprised if it pushed past 1.5

      No way in hell it does worse than Pac-Margarito, doesn't even make sense that it would with more promotions and a bigger name attached. Pac is also doing 60 minutes again which I think helped big time with the Tony fight #s.

      This will be BIG in PPV revenue. You can all bookmark that.

          Yup, just saw it on the pre-game show.

          About 10-11 million households watch each game.

            Also guaranteed is that this fight does well over 1 mil buys, making Pacquiao the first fighter ever to have 4 consecutive years of at least that many.

            And the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'.
            100% agree. When has Pac ever had a big fight that let down the viewing audience? He has been in some lopsided fights, but they were fun to watch.

              1% of 10 million is 100k.

                I disagree, both guys have styles that are very appealing to the casual fans.

                  I must've missed the commercial during the pre-game show but hey, it's a start. Hopefully we see more of this during the championship game. I don't remember seeing anything about it during the VCU/Butler game at all. I would much rather them show the promo for this fight during the 2nd half of games instead of the pre-game. As far as the numbers go... I really don't believe they'll get 1.5 million but they might surpass the Pac-Margarito numbers.

                      and where are you getting your numbers and facts from? when has pacroid EVER outsold floyd? thank you
