Early PPV buys for May/Ortiz solid...trending 1.75 million buys

[MrRolltide91]

The truth? Floyd doesn't give a crap about butts in seats. Floyd cares about your thumb on that remote.

Big Gate = 13 million
Moderate gate = 8 million
Not a huge swing


Meanwhile, 1.5 million ppv buys = 90 million

true true true

It wont reach 1.75 IMHO but i think it will outdo Floyd-Mosley.

More importantly... I think it will be a great fight.

Dont count Ortiz out, Im telling ya'll.

Can everyone remind me how many PPV buys that Canelo generated last year ON A MEXICAN HOLIDAY (this very same weekend)... with Shane Mosley on the card... At Staples Center.

Thanks in advance.

Floyd is the biggest star in boxing history. But Alvarez is the biggest star in Mexico right now. He's probably 5 times as popular today as he was on that very same weekend a year ago.

As a fan of Floyd and the great character that he possesses, I am sure that he will give Alvarez his just due. If the total PPV buys is 3 million, Floyd no doubt would give Alvarez credit for half a million of those buys. Moreover, he would probably give Morales credit for 100,000.

I would be shocked if this fight card wouldn't generate 3 million or more PPV buys. 2.4 million of that would be attributable to Mayweather's global appeal and fame.

I hope Canelo get the respect he deserves for these numbers.

Also, the shadow of Pacquiao also increases fan interest.

Floyd's a good salesman though.

"Mayweather's global appeal and fame"---are you in the pay of Golden Boy or Mayweather Promotions? Sounds like it.

Mayweather is bigger than Tiger, Ali, and Jordan. This is a fact. And the 3 million ppv buys will prove this fact. 2.4 million of those will be the result of Floyd's magnificent presence.

Floyd will give Canelo credit for 500,000 and Morales for 100,000.

The way ESPN has been on Floyd's nuts the last couple days has been insane...they are riding Floyd's **** hard...I have never seen them dedicate this much airtime to a fight since Mayweather-Hatton...I dunno if pockets got greased or what, but ESPN is schilling this fight like crazy.
