chris mannix from sports illustrated said he heard the same

Fight Hype (@fighthype) reports #GolovkinLemieux generated 150K buys. I'm told final numbers aren't in, but that's in the ballpark.

yeah, he has other tweets saying its a good debut number, blah blah blah.

I just dont believe the accuracy of numbers out this early. By Thursday we should know whats what for sure.......

I predicted 225k-250k, but its not like I get a piece of the action or anything so it doesnt really matter. I hope it did though, as it makes the Cotto-Canelo winner more likely to fight GGG. 150k or below gives them an excuse to duck......

lol yep......

I mean come on. Anything under 200K suggests even the above-average boxing fan passed up on buying the PPV. And some hardcore fans too.

You hit the nail on the head. Roy didn't become a star until about 2002-2003. He was simply a name before then. The Griffin II PPV sold less than 100k if I recall but then again was barely promoted (HBO did not want it on PPV) and the fight took place in Connecticut in front of a sparse crowd.

Golovkin is a pretty good B-side fighter. Pit him against a fellow B-sider like Ward and I bet they sell 325K. Maybe more if done right.

Toney fight did 300K but he didn't sniff that again until Ruiz and then was a solid 300 consistently for the Tarver fights. GGG at 33 might be able to hit a 500 or so with the right partner.

What was Cotto's first PPV headliner?

Edit

Against Mosley

It was Judah

Exactly. Two strong B-side opponents will do about 325K, maybe more. The only way GGG sniffs 500 is against Cotto or Canelo.

Floydies numbers are crazy!
It wasn't a bomb but not a good number
