Good numbers for an 18-1 underdog.

Mayweather messed this promotion up from the beginning, but I think the Ms. Jackson stuff was really getting to him. He did that poll and still went with Maidana, he should've jumped on Maidana right after he beat Broner. It gives you more time to hype up the fight.

The rematch should do over a million buys, but we'll see. I think Mayweather is going to be forced to fight Manny eventually. That fight should do 1.8 to 2.2 million buys. After that, Mayweather will still have plenty of options for fight 49.

All this arguing over numbers is a joke. It's got people actually complaining because one company puts together a GOOD undercard.

I don't give a damn if your name is Pacquiao, or Mayweather, or what the fuck ever. To get 900,000 people to sit down and pay $70 to watch you, is amazing.

Exactly. It's considered a fail by the fanatics if Pac or Floyd don't sell a mil ppv's.
