If Manny vs Floyd happened in november would it outsell Oscar v Floyd?

[Barry Halls]

no but maybe it would do 2 million?

[ThePunchingBag]

Nope.

No future fight will ever come close to the U.S. PPV record.

Why?

The current availability of open and private streams in comparison to back then.

The only market in the world that can realistically surpass it is in China.

[Bolo Punch]

I think if the fight happened in May 2010, it would've gone close to 3 million buys. If it happens now, It'll do about 2 million.

[RiC-DiC]

No it wouldn't. They left it too long. Now everyone thinks Manny's done and they know it'd be easy work for Floyd.

[ThePunchingBag]

I really doubt that a boxing fight will break 2 million sales ever again in the U.S.

[thuggery]

Right now, anywhere between 1.6 mil - 1.9 mil

If Pacquiao destroys Rios, and beats another decent contender (this is where Floyd will again want no part of him though) 2 mil - 2.6 mil

[noStylez]

Nope. Will do excelent numbers but no longer more than dlh

[mezoomozaa]

Yes , it will

[FeFist]

It wouldn't come close. Pacquiao has lost his air of invincibility so it would just be ppv between to highly established fighters. It'd do well (1.4-1.8 mil well) but it wouldn't sniff 2.4 mil (was it that no. ?).

You say that now, but you're not anticipating that feeling a week or a few days before a mega fight.

People will do spontaneous things, and order the fight just for the historical value of it, plus I'm sure by fight week, the hype will get to people by then.

The hype for this fight, even now, would be borderline insane.
