I will be very surprised if Mayweather-Guerrero does more than 1 million buys. Poor undercard, mediocore bout, and bad promotion leading to the bout.
Also there will be so many fights leading up to May 4 that there might be boxing burn out. Not to mention that NBA and NHL playoffs will likely be competing with the early part of the broadcast.
My guess is that it will do about 800-900K buys. Remember Mayweather-Hatton did about 900,000 buys.

But now....I'm think this could do a Pacquiao-Clottey number around 750K

The funny thing is I actually enjoyed the 2nd episode more than the first, the end was cool and had me a little pumped for it.

I really hope Showtime gets the PPV numbers they want for this May fight. I am really pulling for Showtime here, it's time for a new big dog in the Boxing network game.
I am so tired of HBO bias bull shiet, it's time for a changing of the guard.

Originally posted by BreWall View PostPacquiao vs Mosley was very poorly organized. It was obvious that that was the first time Showtime covered a huge event. The sequences were not properly timed from introducing the fighters to making their way to the ring. There were long awkward pauses. Made me realize why HBO is on top.
Has nothing to do with Showtime not being ready. Its a **** fight featuring a guy in Floyd who has been doing the same act since 2007 and a guy in Guerrero who nobady outside of hardcore boxing fans could pick out of a lineup.
