Is 3 million buys the max amount possible for a PPV fight?

Those in the know enlighten us please.

No, 3,000,001 is the maximum.

floyd and pac could get at least 3.5, i thought at one point it could have done 4 million.

[tomlcsc]

i could see Floyd/Pac doing 3.5M - 4M

Honestly not sure if I ever see something doing bigger than this in my lifetime. This is bigger than boxing.

1 Mill buys, no young people want to see two old fighters.

DLH-Mayweather did 2.4 Million. I'd say this fight does another 1.1 million, making it 3.5 million.

Yes this fight is capable of doing over 3,000,000 homes, and with the amount of fight parties there will be if the fight happens, you can more than 10x that number and that is the amount of people that will actually watch the fight in the U.S. alone. I think 300 million people is too small. There will be many heads distributed in 3 million homes. Let's say an average of 15 people per home just to throw out numbers. Half a billion people will watch this fight in the U.S.

Add UK, Asia, the other American countries like Canada, Mexico, South America, Central America. Easily a couple billion people will watch the fight. There's 7 billion people in the world, about 40% of the worlds population will be watching this fight. Of course only about 0.15% of those will be paying.

I think this hits 3m. Probably way over. Everyone is going to be talking about it and nobody will want to be left out in the conversations after the fight lol. This is going to be massive.

It sucks that this has to happen in a small arena. I bet very few tickets will be available to the public due to it being reserved for celebrities, VIP people. And goodluck getting those once they are released. But yeah the sporting world will stop and watch this fight.

When the World Awaits PPV Oscar vs Floyd fight happened the projection was it would do similar numbers to Tito Trinidad vs. Oscar de la hoya they said it would be huge and do something around 1.4 million, but it did way beyond that and did much better than they predicted with 2.4 million buys.

I am not sure if the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight will do 2.4, it might only do 1.8 million buys because rumor has it the ppv is going to cost 99 dollars.

Nobody is going to pay that, especially casual fans, maybe a diehard boxing fan will.
