PPV Buys: Pac vs Bradley II or Mayweather vs Khan

[New England]

mayweather - khan will sell more. it will not be all that close.


pacquiao's star power has dropped considerably. mayweather is pretty much as big of a star as he's ever been.

Do you see Manny/Tim doing less then the first one which supposedly did around 900k?
I wouldn't be shocked to see Mayweather/Khan do similar numbers to his fight with Guerrero which was around 875k.
Khan may have had a big following years ago but does anyone expect a great fight based on his recent performances?

absolutely. manny's not anywhere near the star he used to be.

most of the people who buy these fights don't even know who the opponent is beyond his name and possibly what he looks like.



i expect floyd - khan to do less than a million buys. i expect manny - bradley to do considerably less.

A better question is:

What's the better fight?

[New England]

Judging by their past performances and the fact that Golden Boy has better under cards I think Floyd vs Khan will do better (You never know that Mares fight might make the card, and I think Wilder is already on it)

I think the Pac vs Bradley fight will do about the same numbers it did last time if not better because more people will know Bradley after their previous fight and him recently beating Marquez.

I really comes down to the under cards where I feel Floyd would have the edge

i really don't even know where to start with this god awful post.

i'll just underline the most ignorant part of the post.

Floyd vd Khan is an uninteristing fight for me.

Mayweather-Khan

Pacquaio still needs to build his stock back up till he starts drawing huge numbers again and nobody knows who the hell Bradley is. It's a hard sell for Pacquaio.

[El Angel]

Mayweather-Khan will do better, but it would be so great if it completely flopped.

[IMDAZED]

Hell yeah I'm buying.

there are under 200K posters on bscene, including alts, and very few of them buy ppv.

hardcore fans don't drive ppv sales. they never have.

casual fans drive ppv. they don't know sh#T about boxing.


mayweather - khan is clearly a worse fight. casuals do not know that. they remember manny getting knocked out, and probably don't even know that he came back against rios.
