will mayweather do 1milliom ppv's?

[etlux]

yes he will at this point everyone wants to see maywaether as he's become a "legend" so people will pay to see him lose or to see if he still has the skills. i know i would out of a morbid curiosity though i still think he's a ducking coward

[ThePrince]

Coo, lets do it

Damn, now I have to plan 2 boxingscene funerals. Already got JRosales penciled in for sometime after the Marquez fight, and yourself in September. I'll send you off right though, no worries, it'll be a spectacle.

You guys are not thinking logically at all

Floyd came back from an even longer 'vacation'/retirement in '09 to face a Mexican with MUCH higher name value amidst the initial Pac-Floyd hype and did 1 mil buys, which was a lot more than most people expected. Then again, that fight was allowed a lot more time to build up since Floyd claimed he hurt his ribs and it was delayed.

No way in hell this even comes remotely close to 1.4, might not even break 1 mil. Please, someone explain to me how Ortiz will garner more buys than either Marquez or Hatton, 2 guys with big fan bases and high name value? Are all those buys coming from Kansas?

Time to get realistic.

Those guy's fan bases were mainly outside the US though, therefore they make no impact on the US PPV numbers. Mayweather-Hatton actually solde roughly 1.4million PPVs here in the UK (impressive when our population is 1/5 of that of the US), add that to the 900k for the fight in the US and Mayweather-Hatton did about 2.3million buys in 2 countries - not bad.

But yeah I think this will have a great 24/7 and will sell > 1million.
