It won't break Oscar/Mayweather PPV numbers, I'll guarantee you that.
If it were on HBO maybe it would, though I doubt it. On Showtime PPV it won't.
People like to play off the Guerrero/Mayweather PPV bomb (750k buys) as "bad promotion" but in reality it had just as much promotion as Cotto/Mayweather did. There were commercials on popular TV networks, there was the Mayweather documentary on CBS, there was All Access, and there was Floyd's appearance at that college basketball thing and more.
Showtime has less drawing power, it's that simple.

That PPV flopped because it was the Mayweather show as you pointed out. His documentary,all about his career and the cash-out, Fight deal with Showtime. All about him. Nobody believed in Guerrero and rightfully so.
Through the miracle of promotion, they tried to turn Guerrero into a major threat even though he is the equivalent of Henry Bruseles. The fact that he is fighting a 42-0 young guy, will do wonders as far as PPV buys are concerned.

My opinion of the buys in this fight:
With Hbo = 1.9m - 2.1m
With Showtime= 1.6m-1.8m
Great, great numbers and great money considering the price of the PPV but it will be not even close to the Oscar-Floyd record.Last edited by kennylimon; 07-18-2013, 06:29 PM.
