Any word on the Star Power PPV buys? Been two weeks and nothing from HBO or Golden Boy! Could it have done that bad?

I have been in touch with Richard Schaefer and HBO regularly. They simply do not have enough data yet from some huge systems to make an accurate report of the numbers. What people dont realize is that when numbers are announced they are done based on years of experience and extrapalation of numbers based on comparing fights to other similar fights and totals in certain markets. For whatever reason this fight has been harder than others. That said both Schaefer and HBO, without saying a specific number they do not have yet, both have told me that without question the fight is well over 1 million buys. The big question is how much over. They want to announce a number that they believe will be close enough to the real number and since it may be 1.3 or more and edge close to 2nd all-time non heavyweight they want to be right. By the same token, it could be 1.2 or 1.25 and not hit 1.3. They just want to be correct from what they both tell me. But the rumors and innuendo that it did poorly is just a load of crap.

Cuz' it probably only sold about 750k like I predicted before the fight.

The only load of crap here is Dan Rafael.

He's about as clean as fat chicks thong.

Ben "Ellerbe" Thompson is the most biased Floyd nuthugger around. He's probably kicking himself in the ass right now for jumping the gun.

Where is the link?

Personally, I think the number is at least 1 mil.

Isn't there a master Floyd thread for this?
