500,000 PPV Buys expected for Chavez/Martinez

[Optimistic]

BoxingNews 24 is a terrible site with terrible writers.

This, so much.

What the hell is he talking about? If they get 500,000 they should be happy as hell. Cotto-Margarito II did 600,000 and they are both bigger names in the US and have fought on PPV before. I expect about 450,000 buys.

Just remember that the Cotto-Margarito fight was in December and that's not a good date compared to September or 5 de mayo..

December's the time when people are trying to save their money for Christmas, so you make a legit point. But, I think the significance of this fight should be enough to make 500k.

Make it 500,001, cause i will be buying also...and fuck you Arum.

I'll be adding it to my list of ppv buys.

Ppv buys for me include:


Mayweather/De La Hoya
Mayweather/Hatton
Pac/Hatton
Mayweather/Marquez
Pac/Cotto
Mayweather/Mosley (closed circuit in vegas)
Pac/Margarito
Cotto/Margarito
Mayweather/Ortiz
Mayweather/Cotto
Pac/Bradley

I opted not to order Pac/Clottey and Pac/Marquez 3 even though I watched the fights live on the internet for free. PPV is the way to go though if you are into the fight.

Sergio vs. Jr has fight of the year and KO of the year potential, imo.

Anybody think that writer is really fcuking jealous or something?

[Southpawology]

-Roman Martinez vs. Miguel Beltran Jr
-Matthew Macklin vs. Joachim Alcine
-Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. Robert Marroquin

I think the fights are very decent. The least competitive match-up is the Rigo fight, but I think Marroquin will have his moments.

Ehhh its decent...Golden boy has the better undercard but bob has a way better main event

[Oxn]

wow everyones expecting such high number, im thinking 250,000. if it wasnt aginst canelo that same night i would say 300k being generous

[RichardP]

500k is fair, it sounds good. but who really knows.

all i know it is gonna be a good fight and we ordein it foSHO

[Band-Aid]

You guys gotta understand this is the second most naturally selected fight after Pac-Mayweather. Turdboy Sergio has been ducking for a while.
