Mayweather-Ortiz PPV results: Approximately 1.15 million buys

[tangalog2200]

You actually believe this?

Chris Williams is the ultimate hack 'boxing scribe' and that site is a joke. I'd believe info from fight hype LONG before anything from bull**** new 24 any day. HBO, GBP are not releasing the figures because they were embarrassingly low.

yes, likely embarassingly very low to support floyd's air as the ppv king...

erik and company may have contributed half of the ppv sold for the card..

I guess people will believe anything.

This article is BS..Mayweather was not alone, he had names like Morales, and Canelo to help out. I know mad people who bought it to see Ortiz, Morales, and Canelo, and the possibility of seeing Mayweather lose.

Mayweather can hold his own on PPV sales, but don't discredit the other 2 names that had a big influence on the sales, especially on the weekend of Mexican Independence..

Why not discredit the other names? If if turns out that the event flopped, the blame will be placed entirely on Mayweather. 100% of the blame when it's bad, but only 20% of the credit if it's good?

That's fair.

That comes with the territory of claiming to be the king of PPV.

When speaking in terms of actual sales, anything over 1 million PPV buys is a success for Boxing, and that's with out that faggotry of comparing it to somebody else sales...with that said, if 1.15 is accurate it's a solid number, but truth is, the date, and Canelo and Morales had a good affect on it. They should be given some credit, especially Morales after the performance he gave that night.

Someone pull a video of Mayweather crying and tears flowing out.

And at the same time impose the tagline "I DON'T DESERVE THIS MILLION PPV BUYS."

Floyd's still the king

Does this logic apply to Pacquiao-Mosley?

Lol at the writer. Seriously he kissed mayweathers ass one too many in this article. He sounds like a paid publicist

You bet. This is one of the most fulsome "report" I have ever read. He all but got down on his hands and knees and kissed Mayweather's feet. "Playing the villain'... Mayweather is a guttersnipe and doen't know how else to behave, it comes quite naturally too him. Although it beings in more customers, that's nothing to be proud of since the visceral distaste for Mayweather is so great (except for his deluded fans, most of whom don't buy the PPV's) that the primarily want to see him beaten, and not only that, but beaten up.

I can't say I disagree, but don't care to watch this kind of fight myself. I like to see evenly matched skills. It all depends on the matchmaker, but sometimes with too much leaning towards the cash receipts. This of course, is business, and the potential for profit, so that all can be paid, the reason that promoters are functioning.

This fight selling big does not help boxing, it encourages these fighters to stick with fights we dont really want since they can cash big even on the fights we dont really want
