Mayweather-Ortiz only 850,000 PPV buys?

Trust me 700,000 were for Canelo, No body wants to watch a cheating HGH user. He's not worth his asking price I hope Oscar took notice and pays him what he's worth 2 to 5 million. Poor Oscar he must have took a lost in this fight after paying this monkey 30 million and ortiz 5 million

like i've said before... nobody cares about ppv numbers except you nerds behind a computer....

also i would take what steve kim says with a grain of salt, the guy practically lives at the wild car (serious) and really never has anything good to say regarding floyd....

remember kids, there's no such thing as an unbiased reporter ( journalism 101)

By Dan Ambrose: The fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz last month was supposed to have brought in huge numbers on pay per view, according to their promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions.

Schaefer predicted the fight would bring in between 1.4 million to 1.7 million PPV buys. However, Steve Kim is reporting that the Mayweather-Ortiz fight brought in only 850,000 PPV buys, which is rather sad given the popularity of Mayweather and all the hype and marketing that went into the Mayweather-Ortiz fight. HBO put together one of their 24/7 series for this fight, and it was advertised constantly on cable. If 850,000 is the best it brought in with all that marketing than it is truly sad.
Kim said this on his twitter: “I’ve heard as low as 850,000. Still no PPV figures released for the Mayweather-Ortiz yet, which is very telling.”

This isn’t good, is it? If all Mayweather vs. Ortiz brought in was a paltry 850,000 for this fight, it’s going to put Mayweather in a bad bargaining position with Manny Pacquiao, if he ever decides to fight him. With the exception of his fight against Joshua Clottey last year, which brought in only 700,000 PPV buys, Pacquiao has been selling over 1 million PPV buys for each of his fights since then.

It will be hard for Mayweather to ask for equal footing in the bargaining table if he’s bringing in low figures like that against a fighter as well known as Ortiz is with the casual boxing fans. It could be the economy in addition to the high price of the Mayweather-Ortiz card scared away a lot of boxing fans from buying the fight. Or it could be they just saw it as a hopeless mismatch and figured Ortiz didn’t have a chance and why pay to see a mismatch?

850,000 ppv is not bad considering the economic condition prevailing in the western world.

It may not be a windfall profit for GBP but they definitely would make a modest profit from 850k ppv.

ODLH will be more prudent next time floyd ask for heaven.

Its ironic how people say "who cares about ppv #'s?" yet they all take the time outta their day and with the hundreds of threads on this forum pick this one to post in. LMAO at those hypocrites

And Bob Arum is the president of Top Rank and does PPV with showtime and hbo which are both public companies with stocks. That means that he can't lie about PPV #'s because it would be misleading the shareholders aka fraud. You really think Arum is gonna risk going to jail over something like that? The head honchos putting on the PPV have the most credibility when it comes to this kinda thing weather haters like it or not.

Sports journalists like Steve kim and fat dan comes next because they are established in the industry and have sources.

fansites like fighthype comes last. they literally have no more credibility than a anonymous user posting on a forum.

If Kim says it did 850k than it did 850k and thats absolutely pathetic

well, kim said that 850k was the lower end, but it is telling that it's taking so long for the #'s to come out.
