CBS will push ppv buys big time

[Battle*Hardened]

can americans order this fight if they arent subscribed to showtime? Ive no idea how it works over there

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

I don't expect it to do 1 mil, mosley is coming off a draw and a huge loss

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.

their PPV ad is all over march madness

their PPV ad is all over march madness

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

About 10-11 million households watch each game.

Except this is a guaranteed action fight, not some jab and run don't wanna break my finger nail boring split decision exhibition. No one watching will be let down, that's a guarantee.

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.

About 10-11 million households watch each game.

1% of 10 million is 100k.

Just what we need. Another "megafight" that lets down the casual fan and drives them away again like Oscar vs Floyd. Awesome.

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.

That was refreshing Mr. Jones. May I have another with added Sugar to kill da bitter aftataste?

YES YOU MAY! what flavor do you want, Red or Blue? how about that purple drank?

[Pacquiao'd]

I do think this fight will be very entertaining for an execution. I have alot of people that dont watch boxing that asked about watching it here when fight happens. I do fear a 1.5 mil buys and a knockout would hurt the chances of a mayweather fight

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