I think it does about a million wouldn't be surprised if it's like 500-700k there wasn't much buzz for this fight honestly

Here's a up and comer from Albany, trains at the same gym as Imam did. This is from the Olympic trials recently.

Feels like it will do 800-900k. Anything over that would be a big success IMO.

Rigo was on the card

A card without Mayweather or Pacquiao hitting 1mil is an absolute rarity (when was even the last time? DLH?), and around my way there was absolutely zero buzz about the fight.

750k would be absolutely incredible for this card, 1 million is a silly number.

I'd be very surprised if it did over 750k.

Pretty awesome for a non-Pacquiao fight!

The undercard was HD on Youtube... and the streams are plenty these days.

Agreed. I think that would be a good outcome for them. Don't see any basis for the 1-1.5M talk.

Fight didn't have a crossover to all races big fight buzz IMO. To reach 1 mill buys fights have to crossover racial lines and IMO this one didn't do that. 700K is a great number for a fight I don't believe was a crossover fight. I honestly thought it would do 700K or fewer IIRC what I said in the past about the number for this fight.

Also I think Mayweather vs Pac was so without a lot of action that this fight is getting a little more credit than it should in regards to the excitement level it produced.
