How many PPV Buys will Mayweather-Guerrero, Mares- De leon May 4th card do?

[Pacquiao'd]

1.3-1.4mil

Reports coming from many sources said that the Mayweather /Ortiz fight did around 850k buys and not the 1.25mil buys that shaefer reported. Up until then HBO would release Floyds ppv buy rate. For some reason they didn't release the #'s for that fight. I say this fight with guerrero does no more than 800k buys. Still nothing to sneeze at but I think the unknown guerrero won't help carry this fight over the 1mil mark.

Wheres the option for less than 900k?

The fact that this is on showtime means less buys

I just don't see why people think that him fighting on showtime will result in more buys as if the boxing public cares what channel/network the fight is on. He can fight on the animal channel and if people want to see him they will turn to the animal channel to do so.

The Showtime negativity could be overrated. I mean they are still going to show the fight camp stuff on CBS so atleast the same, if not more will see it then was on HBO. Not only that but I think the HBO 24/7 stuff was becoming redundant. I think the Showtime thing could give a new look/energy to Floyd. I think people will like Fight camp's vibe.

Not only that but PPV is PPV. Its not like you have to have Showtime to buy it. They could buy it just like it was an HBO PPV

Reports coming from many sources said that the Mayweather /Ortiz fight did around 650k buys and not the 1.25mil buys that shaefer reported. Up until then HBO would release Floyds ppv buy rate. For some reason they didn't release the #'s for that fight. I say this fight with guerrero does no more than 800k buys.

That's true, and HBO never officially released the numbers like they usually do.

Exactly. PPV is PPV. It won't make a difference which network is hosting it.

Correction, it was actually 850k buys that I read. Don't know if that's exactly what it did but sources claim that it was in that area and far less than what shaefer claimed it did. This could be another reason why HBO decided to let floyd walk. He was demanding more than what they felt he was worth.

Here's a link to a report that states floyd/Ortiz did 850k buys
