Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Maidana II Highest Selling PPV Event of 2014

[A.K]

ppv numbers are down for the simple reason of more people online streaming than ever

[mercenario]

"by nature of our deal, no outcome is possible where Showtime suffers significant losses."

-Stephen Espinoza on the possibility of Mayweather not cracking a million buys.

"Significant losses" = they can still take a loss.

Considering the other two ppv stars canelo and pac are struggling to get 600k buys, I consider over 900k a success. No one is doing "groundbreaking" numbers but he still clearly is top dog

If the numbers are legit then clearly he is. Still the fact that Boxing's biggest star has failled to do over a million buys for the second consecutive event, and the fact that boxing's other huge name's (Pac, Cotto and Canelo) PPV numbers are also failing is nothing to celebrate. But good for Floyd that he still draws more then the other guys.

Showtime is a pretty big operation so significant to them would be a pretty large number. A large loss for Showtime would be like eating Floyd's whole contract in one year.

"projected numbers".... So there ARE no numbers, officially.

hahaha good one!

I feel you, but the only problem is that there are no "official" numbers. So all anyone can do at this point is speculate. Whether its $75 or $55, the numbered "buys" is what matters.

I just dont get the "money man". Tha pac-floyd fight can bank way more than the de la hoya fight, even if its 55/45. Its, as of right now, the BIGGEST ppv fight that has not yet happened.

lots of people dont bother researching anything.

People on here acting as if these are "official" numbers. smh

I feel you, but these are not official numbers. So anyone can discredit away until they come out with the real ones. True about the ppv paying part lol, I always go half with a buddy.

yahoo news and yahoo sports are the worst information bearers in the planet.

get red k'd cuz you dont agree... Get a life loser and stop PM'ing me.

lol it needs to be said. They are actually some posters here who dont know the word "projected".

WTF are you talking about? I was actually hoping that there would be some real numbers to go by. I was disappointed.

You can never trust yahoo. Thats common knowledge and sense. And when did I say I "trust" arum??? Boiling??? Get a life. Hop of my nuts for once.

sigh... hop of my nuts.

no official numbers cuz showtime wont show them, but its a successfull ppv? How so??? The only way for it to be successfull, it has to at least sell way more than the 1st fight.

All day, everyday. Same ****. Please help me understand how you and your "life" aren't pathetic.

Another "projection" released less than a week after the fight. Highly doubtful the actual numbers will be released to the public.

This came from Kevin Iole who is normally a pretty reliable source. I would love to have seen what you would have posted if Kevin Iole would have reported that the event only did 300k. I bet you would take his projections as the Gospel Truth.

What I want someone to explain is why he hasn't posted in any Cotto threads that I can recall.
