Still waiting on Showtime to release the official number for Pac vs Mosley. But i'm no holding my breath.

[wizard king]

lets not get carried away here canelo and morales were on the card to so they helped with those numbers

mayweather sells a lot ppv, pacman sells a lot ppv, the difference is negligable. these guys are good for boxing.... they should fight each other. ...........

i wouldn't say he's a nobody,,,but people are forgetting something here..alvarez and morales,two popular mexican fighters were on this ppv,they helped with this too not just floyd,canelo is very popular with the mexican fans and morales,well he's morales and was fighting for the title,believe me they helped out a lot with the ppv,but all credit is going to floyd and thats wrong,i wonder how floyd would do against say berto and a non hispanic undercard..he won't go over one million thats for sure..and before somebody brings up the mosley fight,there were mexican fighters on there too,i believe canelo was on there..so don't mention that one

Floyd vs. Mosley did 1.4 million. So no he doesn't need a hispanic to sell fights. Do you even remember who was on the undercard for that fight off the top of your head?

great numbers.........

[KingTito]

Good numbers. Too bad the fight was shat.

[240sxdippin]

ALVAREZ AND MORALLES WERE ONLY BONUSES TO THE CARD. People bought the fight because of floyd. and also thought cool i get some good names too. even though they were fighting losers.

Yo little ***** boy, if you have a problem don't be a coward about it.

That's the only thing that caught my attention.....

I'm sorry, you must be a ******. Let me make it easy for you to understand. Every year for the past 4 years Manny has sold more PPVs than Floyd. 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. The rest of what I wrote was probably too much for your ******ed brain to understand. The part about Manny fans having 8 fights in 4 years to chose from vs. Floyd's fans only having 3 might lead to slightly higher one night numbers. Manny's 4 year PPV cost $440 (8 FIGHTS) Floyd's $170 (3 FIGHTS). I'm sorry I didn't ****** proof my last post.

1.25 buys is a good number but there is no truth to that. We called the HBO office and they told us that the actual PPV buys for the Mayweather/Ortiz fight is not yet in. I am just wondering why people like ELLERBE and SCHAEFER will tell lies like this. They know very well that people of today are very much educated and we all have the means of communicating with other people...and yet here it is, ELLERBE and SCHAEFER are giving the public false information. The old saying is true..."Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are".
