Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Cotto Generates 1.5 Million Buys, $94 Million

[letsgobrady]

But a lot of people do. They may be boxing fans but they just want to see Floyd lose.

I was responding to someone who said Pacquiao should be a bigger draw because he has a bigger "following".

it's funny to see gino and you dispute especially since the both of you prettty much jumped to conclusions.the post you were responding to was in response to someone else saying that floyd should sell more he's from america and it would be a shame if a phillipino sold more than him in america

[Wynnin]

But then again if pacquaio next numbers don't come close to these numbers he probably won't come off his offer

Dunno guys, remember pac vs marquez did 1.41m compared to floyd who did 1.1m with marquez and 1.25m with ortiz

I think floyd is slightly higher but still a 50-50 is still fair considering it has been swinging in circles since floyd came out of retirement

remember when he fought marquez, pac outsold him in his next ppv

then floyd outsold pac in his next ppv with mosley compared to margarito and mosley

then pac outsold floyd with marquez compared to ortiz

and now floyd will outsell pac with cotto compared to bradley

One again Schafer was talking crap about getting 2 million+ buys. Good to see HBO is backing up this number though. When will they release the Ortiz numbers is the question.

they been released those numbers.. it did 78 million that was the number 2 or 3 highest non hw fight in history

[lfc19titles]

damn also forgot about canello, that certainly added a few buys to make it 1.5m, forgot it was a two man headline act really with mayweather and canellllo

still fair play to floyd, thought he would get more but this still does not show he deserves more than 50-50 if you look at ppvs for the last 3 years

[Pocket Dogs!]

floyd sells more obviously but pac already conceded that floyd gets a higher guarantee so there's no more excuse for the fight not to happen.

Then why should it still be 50/50? These Cotto numbers confirm that Floyd deserves at least 55% of PPV revenues. If Pacquiao does mediocre numbers with Bradley (less than 1 million), then Floyd should get 60%.

Numbers are not final according to the new ESPN article.

hahahahah floyd fans are extra happy but the refuse to look at the facts !!!!!!!!

manny did 1.41 in the middle of november which is a bad month for boxing since people uses their money for christmas and other holidays !!!! and it was against marquez who isnt even a ppv draw !!!!!

while floyd only did 100k more on the BIGGEST DAY for boxing !!!! and with a big ppv attraction like cotto !!!!! hahahah !!!!!!! just imajine if manny fought the piss drinker on may 5th just imajone the numbers it wouldve generated !!!!! hahahah *****s owned again b common sense and by me treason1 unbiased rational !!!!!!

[sampsonsimpson]

Man, you are just as bad as the Pacfans on here. Stop making excuses. Pac/Marquez III had more PPV buys than Floyd/Marquez. If Marquez was a crossover name, he would've done more PPV buys with Juan Diaz and Likar Ramos.

you seriously believe bob arum?!?!

the pac v jmm 3 numbers were never officially released or confirmed by hbo. in fact, the numbers for pacs last 3-4 fights were never officially released/confirmed

if that fight really did 1.4 arum would have had everyone involved screaming it form mountaintops

[sdcluser]

that's pretty good. remember to pay the taxes before placing any bets...
