Over/Under 450K PPV Buys for Pacquiao vs Thurman

[KTFOKING]

Pacquiao vs Broner for comparison did around 400,000, so how much does this fight do? Take into consideration how good the promotion for Spence/Garcia was and that fight did over 360,000 buys.

Over. I say it does half a million. Putting it on FOX instead of Showtime is smart.

[Longhaul]

I’m taking the over.

[jas]

would say over

Thurman is a puncher, the danger for pac is intriguing,

way more competitive fight than broner fight

[bballchump11]

Over. I'm saying about 600K

[Mister Wolf]

Same as Broner or less. Believe it or not Broner is more popular than Thurman.

Spot on.

Also - despite his chin, there were many who were predicting/hoping that Broner would be KO'd.

That didn't happen. And we damn sure know there won't be a KO in this fight, which obviously takes away intrigue.

I'd go with slightly under 400k buys actually.

Same as Broner or less. Believe it or not Broner is more popular than Thurman.

Broner is more popular but literally no one thought he'd win. Thurman vs Pac is a toss up equals more buys.

That's the thing. Broner does better ratings than any PBC fighter on SHO minus Wilder. Granted, Thurman's last three fights have been on CBS/FOX, so we don't have a good idea of what kind of numbers he would be doing on SHO.

One plus is this fight being on FOX and they will really promote the fight and have a bunch of shoulder programming.

I'll say 500-550k buys.

600K more or less, depending on how Thurman stir s h i t up during press conferences
