They little kids they would bash Mr Whippy if he ran out of Chocolate , this site is over run with immature fanboys playing my toy is better than yours .

Our toy is the truth, son. What's your toy? A gun?


HEY DON'T SHOOT.

[Pocket Dogs!]

so this fight could end up at 1.7 mill?

Probably. Maybe even up to 1.8 million.

Kevin Iole stated today on Twitter that Floyd/Oscar hit the 2.5 million PPV sales mark a few weeks ago. These PPV fights take a long ass time to count.

thanks for the info

what do you think a floyd/manny fight could do?

How the hell can a fight gain PPV sales 5 years after it happened? Did Wyoming, Liberia and American Samoa just report in finally via pony express and full-rigged ships?

Good numbers n 2 get the second highest non heavyweight ppv fight is also impressive. 1 thing I will say is this every1 keeps going on about canelo but he was on a ppv card with Mosley and Ortiz not that long ago and it only just went past 100,000 buys. If most of those buys was just 4 canelo (from mexicans) then why didn't they buy that fight, which also had another Mexican on it in Ortiz who went on to do over 1.25million against mayweather.

Canelo on Cinco de Mayo against a future HOF has to account for 10 to 15% of buys... Great marketing trick... Mayweather nor Cotto is Mexican but they fought on Cinco de Mayo with Canelo on the undercard against Mosley and Flohos want to act like the numbers are all Mayweathers... Forget Cotto is #3 PPV draw, forget Canelo vs. Mosley on Cinco de Mayo... Those guys accounted for 0 buys.... It was all Mayweather a defensive fighter with no KO appeal... What a joke.....

So again, bigger draw?

Mayweather-De La Hoya
Pacquiao-De La Hoya
(Mayweather)

Mayweather-Hatton
Pacquiao-Hatton
(Mayweather)

Mayweather Mosley
Pacquiao-Mosley
(Mayweather)

Mayweather-Cotto
Pacquiao-Cotto
(Mayweather)

...and you leave out:
Mayweather-Marquez
Pacquiao-Marquez
Winner: (Pacquiao)

You dumb ****. I take nothing away from Mayweather's draw at PPV, but I hate it when people twist the facts, especially when it's not fair when Pacquiao is the only superstar on his cards, while Mayweather has Canelo on his undercards.

Cotto needs to fight the 154 king Erislandy Lara

Duh, its because of the time difference smh

[letsgobrady]

because corporations never juke statistics.... Hospitals, government institutions, police departments, wall street, they all play funny money and juke statistics. Why would the most corrupt sport in history be above this let alone a corporation (hbo) who works with boxing promoters?

Everything is about the profit margin. If they perpetuate a event as something that 1.5 or 2 million people saw, it only benefits them whether those numbers are true or not because it gives out a sense to those that didnt (potential customers) watch it that they missed on something special that a lot of people watched.

standard business practice 101.

so people wait till ppv numbers come out before they decide to watch a fight or not?
