Mayweather/Ortiz was on a Mexican Holiday, and it had the legendary Erik Morales to attract older Mexicans - the most massive and committed boxing fans in the world. It also had Canelo Alvarez to attract women and younger viewers.
Mayweather, GBP, Ortiz, CNN, Fighthype and HBO promoted it to the hilt.
Plus, it had a Main Eventer that barely fought thus creating a sense of scarcity among the Wife Beating populace towards their conquering hero.
Yet despite all that was going for it Mayweather vs. Ortiz only attracted 850k PPV buys.
I predict a lower figure for Pacquiao vs. Marquez due to the fact that it won't have a stacked undercard, it does not have trash talking, and it involves fighters that don't artificially create demand by only fighting in seldom intervals. Less than 850k for this fight based on low turn out and flopping of Wifebeater vs. Headbutter.
