      It did like 750-850K buys....otherwise Schaefer would have announced the numbers within 2 weeks because he said that's just how it works in the business.

        You may be right. I wondered how much they spent promoting the Guerrero fight. Must be huge.

        By now they should be announcing upcoming fights in advance IF they truly made money in the Mayweather fight, like Matthysse vs Garcia, for example, considering Lucas virtually came out unscathed in his fight with Peterson. He could actually fight the next day.

          I think the answer will be in what Floyd Mayweather decides to do next.

          If the fight really sold well under a million buys, he should definitely be opting to head back to HBO.

            They couldn't afford to promote the Guerrero fight, they gave all their money to Mayweather to gamble on the bounceyball games.

              people are ignoring the biggest boost to floyd mayweather's ppv numbers in the last few years.

              manny pacquiao.

              after manny was knocked out that fight lost it's lustre.

              both of their numbers will take a huge hit because of it.

              mayweather's got alvarez now. lets see what his numbers look like this time.

                Why isnt Showtime releasing Mayweather-Guerrero ppv buys numbers?
                Eh, they did ages ago. They said it did over 1 million. People just called them liars and believed the BS Dan and Iole spouted. Where as before if Dan and Iole released numbers everyone would demand an official statement from Showtime. Pack hypocrites.

                  You will see Canelo - Mayweather figures before these numbers are ever released.
