Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: PPV Decline Due To No Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Pigeons]

Yes, Floyd does way better ppv sales than Pac. The name of Dela Hoya, Canelo, Cotto, and MOsley has nothing to do with it. Floyd attract fans to buy his ppv events. Then its not a problem that a Pac fight will not be on cinco de mayo.

Well Pacquiao has fought 3 of the above guys on PPV too. He did 1.15M less vs. DLH, 250K less vs. Cotto, and 200K less vs. Mosley.

Floyd's PPVs sell well because Mexican-Americans buy the PPVs on Mexican holidays to root against Floyd. Personally, I think Mexican-Americans will buy this matchup on any date, but Floyd has cast the first stone in these negotiations, he wants May 2. Bob should agree, and counter with Pac's choice of gloves.

I like this idea, but knowing Floyd, he does the demanding not the agreeing part in each and every single contract he was in

In what world is 400k bigger than 900k?

Pacland!!

since your question is kinda vague let me deal with it the best way i know how.

If you are asking for a numerical amount 900l is way bigger than 400k
but if you are asking for let say value, that's why i said kinda vaque

400k in dollar us is much much bigger than 900k indonesian rupiah

Floyd's I agree, though he's still doing solid numbers. I mean people tend to forget that Oscar himself only did over a million 4 times and 2 of those times were with Floyd and Pac.

800-900K Floyd did with Maidana wasn't bad in general. Manny doing **** fights is what hurt his numbers. Algieri was a total bull**** fight. I wouldn't subject anyone to pay money for that ****. And for the record, I didn't pay for Mayweather-Maidana II even though I didn't hate it. The first fight was close, Floyd rolled him in the rematch though. Just watched it at Buffalo Wild Wings.

It's mostly due to the proliferation of streaming services online. Many of them are even free. Let's face it, it's not surprising to see people look for cheaper, alternative options. (That's probably why some people don't believe all these exaggerated PPV numbers that are coming out.) The one million mark should have been an impossibility a long time ago.

Floyds PPV numbers are just fine. Maidana not being Puerto rican or mexican doesnt have a huge fan base. Doing above 750k (whatever it was) is just fine, especially looking back at historical numbers and what DLH used to do.

The only one it is hurting is showtime who over bid on him when they stole him from HBO. If they cant make a profit with just under 1 million ppv buys, then that is their own damn fault.
