Mayweather-Maidana does 854,000 PPV buys?

[HeroBando]

Sad thing is, Maidana took a laughable 1.5m guarantee and ppv upside, which will come out to nothing. He's probably gonna end up with 1/3 of what Bradley made vs Pac

Low PPV buys for both Pac and Floyd throws up a red flag in boxing in my opinion. I want to see boxing become a major force within sports again.

I read that Showtime will be releasing the number next week, but ~850K is what I expected. Honestly, I expected less as there was no hype for what was a perceived mismatch. It took Arum one month to release the Pac-Bradley II numbers, it's been one week since Mayweather-Maidana. 850K vs. Guerrero and Maidana... lol. I don't know how Floyd reels these people in.

If the numbers are true it would be a money loser. It was a decent, but expensive card. It also proves something. People are getting PPV tired. Floyd and Manny are both overpaid, especially Floyd with his guarantees.

No Sympathy from me for either of them, or Bob or Golden boy. Back in the day, a Closed Circuit or PPV fight was a huge fight with 2 fighters in a highly anticipated fight. Now we have 2 popular great fighters fighting ordinary fighters in comparison. I am surprised it has taken this long for fans to catch on.

This sport will never come out of the fringes if the stars of the sport, continue to only show their craft to an expensive closed audience.

Pac had a garbage undercard. He carried the ppv numbers.

Floyd had huge undercard support. Expensive undercard.

Who's ppv king now? I say they are equals, and Pac is even better in numbers coz the main event of Pac is all there was worth paying for which was their main event.

So now Floyd, if this is true. Still can't fight Pac coz you think his numbers don't add up?

Your numbers don't add up more lol your over paid as well. Lol

You need 1.5 million ppv buys floyd for showtime to break even for the amount of cash you're getting.

In a world full of streams im surprised at any PPV buys beyond my 1

[DLT]

and who do you have to blame for that d?

your crowd led by floyd jr. certainly started this whole ppv counting nonsense.

yes, you are right, 850k used to be amazing numbers, you only have floyd and your fl 0m 0 kind to thank for people's higher level expectations of ppv #s.

i remember back in the day 500k pps used to be a great ppv event.

1st off Im not a *****. Im a boxing fan who just happens to be a fan of Floyd along with many others. Maybe Floyd is responsible for the numbers bs and maybe he's not. I dont care. I respect him as a fighter. 90% of the other stuff he does, I coud care less about including the words that come out of his mouth. He's full of crap on alot of things he says. I just respect what he does in the ring and in the gym. That same for pretty much every other fighter because besides that, they put there pants on the same just as me.

If Floyd and PAC are getting 800-900k, you can expect these next PPV's to be under 400k.

good for you d.

nevertheless,

floyd and his overbearing fanbase started this whole ppv counting nonsense.

you only have floyd and your kind to thank for opposing fanbase going at floyd and his fans for ppv numbers.

[Spoon23]

A lot of floydcott happened. Boxing fans are tired of his antics. He ain't fighting for fans and glory of the sport.

This is the effect of his fraud's perona and how boxing fans seeing he doesn't love the sport, but treat it as a biz.

Sad thing is its showtime who took a huge blow again. Guerrero fight now this.. If he continues with 12/1 underdog matchup. Showtime will be broke.

[FeFist]

It is about what I expected. Maidana was a heavy underdog going into that fight, so the appeal would have been low. If I lived in America, I would not have spent $70 on that fight.

That being said, the appeal for his next fights should increase because he looked vulnerable.
