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

[Kingjames6Flee]

I think the fight is going to go over 3 million. Hopefully, it's announced during the Super Bowl which would have an audience of at least 13-14 million viewers. I expect it to catch fire so to speak. Everyone will be talking about it and it's going to happen on the perfect day. Cinco de mayo weekend + one of the most anticipated fights in a long time will result in big dollars. These guys are making a ****load of money so they need to shatter every record.

111 million people watched the superbowl last year.

Manny floyd being the biggest fight to make, I think it does over 3 million buys, probably 3.2 million...

I also think a freakshow PPv with like Justin beiber's pro boxing debut would do like 10 million buys.. Sad but true

Also if the price is 100 bucks and the fight stinks it will turn people off to boxing even more, remember the world awaits did 2.4 million and almost everyone at my work said the fight ****** and Mayweather was boring and lied about giving fireworks it was all hype, Floyds next ppv only did 800k with Hatton that is a huge drop off.

People will leave dissatisfied if the fight is a dude and no action it will hurt the sport even more, its a risky move to take.

I agree, and I kinda think that we have set our selves up for it, even the casuals.

I mean lets be real, We have a ambush fighter Vs Counter puncher.
What happens if Floyd gets in there and pulls a boxing class?

Regardless of rather we believe him or not that he allowed him self to stay on the ropes against Maidana and Cotto, no way is he fighting that way against Manny, he is going to be in pure boxing mode.

So unless Manny makes it exciting by catching Floyd all night, it's not gonna live up to the hype.

It's a bad deal either way.

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.

What in gods name are you talking about? The population of the USA is no more than 320mill people.

This fight just need promos, Face-offs, and word of mouth.....this fight will sell they dont need to push it to june

Especially when it gets close to May 2nd....that last week before the fight.....Everyone will be on board

My only question is do that have enough time for training camp

training camps are 8 weeks

may 2 is over 12 weeks away

they got plenty of time too train

[elfag]

Bottom line is they will set the price at whatever they think makes them the most money. If they raise the price, they get less buys but make more for each buy. Theres no way of knowing for sure what price will get them the most revenue so they come up with their best guess.

Manny floyd being the biggest fight to make, I think it does over 3 million buys, probably 3.2 million...

I also think a freakshow PPv with like Justin beiber's pro boxing debut would do like 10 million buys.. Sad but true

Bieber pro debut would do 10 million buys but they wont price it at 99 bucks probably 25 bucks or something.

Maybe Floyd should convince Biebs to have a pro debut on May Pac? that will boost ppv big time those girls will order.

Biebs could train with Floyd and prepare at the same time, that would be huge.

If Mickey Rourke did it why cant Beiber, but he has to sing "Baby, Baby" first.

[Showtime..]

Lol. Imagine having Beiber on the card. Forget 3mill, it'll be 6million. And imagine Beiber "KOing" his opponent. He's the next PPV star

[Vasyl’s dad]

I'd be surprised if it cracks 2 mil to be honest.
