Will Mayweather Lose His PPV Selling Power If He Loses

[croz]

I'm sorry but your comparing apples to oranges. Having a loss in boxing is much worse then having a loss in the UFC. Especially when you constantly use your zero as a marketing gimmick.

Not really. You lose three times in the UFC and you're meant to get kicked out. The whole losses don't matter in the UFC thing is a total myth.

Silva's entire persona was built around his dominance in the UFC. Just look at his previous PPV numbers, not long ago he was mainly an undercard fighters but they built him up atop his dominating career in the UFC. It got eyes on him, which is the important thing about building fighters up. Now he has the attention on him those people won't just leave immediately. If anything they'll give him one last big chance to make up for it, then they might start leaving.

Which is why I think Manny fighting Rios for a PPV is a total mistake for him. People want to see him redeem himself in some fashion. They'll tune in to see a fight involving Bradley or JMM because there's some air of redemption around it. Pac fighting Rios instead will just make those same fans lose interest in him over time.

So the rumour goes. But again I'll bring up Anderson Silva. He now has a potential 1 million plus buy rematch because he lost. People aren't going to just walk away. It takes time. They'd want to see if he can recover.

If Pac actually selected a decent opponent you can bet he would have no trouble selling PPVs too.

wow are you psychic how do you know how many PPV thay will sell in the rematch oooh I know 1,365,478

Cute thread ... Somebody watched the Chris Mannix interview with Jim Lampley on his boxing "show."

Probably considering his celebrity status would take a dramatic hit.

Floyd isn't Tyson. Floyd isn't Ali. Floyd isn't Pacquiao.

His marketing power relies entirely on his undefeated record. He loses, half of his buys are gone.

I don't think there is any doubt Floyd would lose much of his drawing power if he lost unless it was an unfair loss that most fans thought he deserved to win. It might destroy Mayweather mentally. He is so wrapped up with being rich and a winner that it seems like his whole life revolves around that. Can you imagine how Mr. "I was born a winner and I will die a winner" would react to getting knocked out cold? Could Mayweather handle that?

I think if he lost, the rematch would be the new highest selling ppv record so no.

what ever you say... reloaded!

I just noticed you have a ****-pedophilia act in your signature... Bro you weird..

[lets rumble]

big chance his ppv numbers would go up for the rematch .......
but lets be serious , who can beat him ????
weather you love or hate him , he will go down as the best of the era.

[lets rumble]
