Cotto vs Martinez ppv buys

[soul_survivor]

He wants the sport that he loves to do well?

no he doesn't, he just wants to brag that his fighter got so many views lol this is what NSB often degenerates into.

I hope these PPVs continue to bomb. It wasn't that long ago that PPV actually meant 'huge event'. Now all a star has to do is fight mismatch after mismatch and they sell just fine. I'm loving the fact that PAC & may (both are my favorites btw) are no longer able to (as Tyson famously said about himself) sell out Madison Square masturbating. Until we get real, legit match ups again (and Canelo/Lara isn't a bad start), along with stacked under cards, I'll be hoping for boxing's PPV demise.

None of the PPV fights have done well this year.

And what realistic match up possibilities remain the rest of the year that look appealing?

There is nobody out there for Mayweather that will generate 1 million buys other than Pacquiao and we know that aint happening.

There is nobody out there for Pac where he can even do 700,000 buys.

Canelo will be lucky to do 400,000 buys against Lara.

Cotto vs. Canelo could probably do 600,000 or so which would be a success for them I suppose.

Sergio is done.


My point is that boxing is in a rut right now because the best fights are not being made and with the May vs. Pac fight all but dead people are getting bored and tuning away from boxing.

One simple thing happening could change all of this but we all know it won't so we'll be forced to watch a bunch of "B" fights the rest of the year and who knows how long after that.

Cotto vs Floyd could get a million. Pac vs Jmm 5 could get close to a million. Both of those PPVS Could Do more than a million with decent undercards

I heard that the numbers are underwhelming. It doesn't make any difference to me. There's too many damn fights on PPV anyway.

I am a big fan of the sport so I want all ppvs to do well. Pacquiao, Cotto, Mayweather and Canelo it shows that the sport is doing well. I wont respond to the other comments that think otherwise as I find it creepy to insult people behind a computer.

Boxing is dying because of the bull***** robberies on the scorecards, the bull***** fights that are being sold as expensive ppvs, and the ****** antics and drama of the so called elite fighters and promotional companies(except miguel cotto). Mother****ers act like we, the fans, are dogs that are grateful when thrown dinner table scraps like Maidana vs mayweather; then these mother****ing judges give mayweather the fight even though he couldnt control the pace of the fight. I hope prizefighting dies and these bums of human society are the ones who get fed scraps to fight toe to toe and the fans finally get to enjoy true sport.

I find it creepy when people write subliminal replies on message forums.

A lot of ppl thought it was gonna be a mismatch which could have affected sales

Yup, the irony is it was but not with the outcome everbody thought it would have

[-Kev-]

I expected 600k. But I guess 400k should have been expected since it was two fighters who are usually B-sides. However Canelo-Angulo did 350k, and no one really cared much for that fight so that kind of indicates to me who the superior PPV seller is between Canelo and Cotto.
