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

[WARQUEZ]

Canelo is the new rising star of Mexico, there anointed one. Cotto is forever be ricans people's champ.

Btw it was on cinco de mayo. Enough said..

Oh but I thought Cinco De Mayo was just any other day? Atleast that's the argument you idiots used when Arum tried to make the fight on May 26th.

Some of you guys are idiots and just plain haters.

How can 1.5 million not be good numbers for a PPV? Stop saying Canelo is a big draw. Sure, he gets millions of viewers in Mexico on cable TV, but you can't call that drawing power because how many of them actually bought the PPV. You will see he will probably not sell over 250K PPVs in September if the fight is on PPV. Mosley has never been a draw in the first place.

Floyd generates more revenue, higher PPV sales, higher gate grosses. Don't say that Pacquiao sells more tickets because Floyd has consistently outgrossed Pacquiao with 4 of the 5 same opponents with much higher ticket prices. You Pacquiao stans always bring up "Floyd's not bigger WORLDWIDE, Pacquiao is" but you never bring up numbers. I'm not even defending Floyd, I'm defending FACTS. If you're going to say that Pacquiao is bigger worldwide. PROVE IT with links and numbers and not just hearsay.

Just putting some random names here for you to figure this out. Let us say both Floyd and Pac has a fight in May 5 in a different venue at Las Vegas, USA. Floyd home country. Now figure this out who will generates more revenue, ppv buys, gate buys.

May 5
Pac vs any name
undercards
Cotto vs any name
Canelo vs any name
Khan vs any name

May 5
Floyd vs USA boxer
undercards
Mosley vs USA boxer
Bradley vs USA boxer
Peterson vs USA boxer

In these 2 fights who who do you think will generates more money and higher audience? You are absolutely right! Its Pacquiao.

Now let us move the fight venue somewhere in Asia. Let us say in Singapore. We can remove the undercards or not it doesnt matter and now the fight is set at different date but they should fight the same opponent however. Let us say Pac and Floyd vs Clottey. Now guess what who will generates more buys, people will watch, gates revenue, etc.? Do you still need any links or some sort? You are absolutely right! Its Pacquiao. How about Floyd vs Clottey no undercards in USA?

True. Floyd fans are so mad it didn't reach the 2 million mark Schaefer had projected despite the undercard attractions. I understand what they're going through. This is their life. This is very important to them.

It was projected 2 million coz schaefer thinks floyd and Mosely can pull in 1million, and Canelo, Cotto can pull in 1 million which makes 2million.

That said 1.5 means, 500k was the bulk of the Floyd fans.

1 million for sure were ricans and mexicans and mosely diehards. Sad but Floyd is losing his luster..

Less than 2million shows he really ain't pulling numbers.

Too many stars in there just to come up with a measly 1.5ppv.

They're so desperate

....fixed.

Seriously? Of course a promoter is going to talk out of his ass to promote the fight because that's his job.

I don't see you saying the same **** about Arum. You forgot he went on record and said the Pacquiao and JMM was going to break records?

[Spoon23]

Never said anything like that.. Making up stories again aye.. You must had a relapse kid lol Get medicated.

[Spoon23]

Canelo sold at least 500,000 PPV's, this is exactly why canelo did not wanted to be in the undercard in the first place because he knows that he sells a lot of PPV's and Mayweather always ends up taking all the credit.
In September when Canelo headlines his first ppv we should see just how big of a star he really is and how much did he helped KFC in his last 2 fights.

Yup at a minimum canelo gets the 500k as Cotto at a minimum gets the 500k, the last 500k goes to Floyd, Mosely and the rest of the entourage.

That said.. Floyd is a 500k fighter now.

[Gino Ros]

How many times has Pacquiao generated 90 million dollars in PPV revenue?

How many times has Pacquiao generated 12 million dollars in gate revenue?

Thanks in advance.

[SincereDaGreat]

Well Pacquaio sold 1.25 against cotto, and did 1.45 against marquez in a fight a lot of us blacklisted.

Every time Floyd fights there's a bunch of people poppin ***** about blacklisting his fight...then when he still does great numbers, they try to chop it down with all kinds of reasons...eventually yall gotta give in and realise that numbers don't lie!!

And I can guarantee the Pac vs JMM wasn't blacklisted more than Floyd vs JMM!!
