Pac/Cotto PPV Buys?

[C-Lo]

If I heard correctly, Lampley mentioned PBF vs Marquez doing over 1 million buys and Pacquiao vs Cotto beating that number. I was extremely smashed at that point and if anyone could enlighten me, I want to make sure I wasn't hearing things.

If anyone has the official numbers, please post them up. I don't know why but PPV buys in big fights fascinate me.

id be suprised if it did bigger numbers to be honest,

neither is american, and neither is as big a name as mayweather in the u.s, mayweather was coming out of retirment which had a lot of hype around it

also im pretty sure that mayweather - marquez was a cheaper price on ppv, pac has his own little sites that were offering out a large number of free streams


and on top of all this the 24/7 really went without major incident, there wasnt really any trash talk and alot of people said it was boring

You heard correctly when Lampley said that. I even read on ESPN that it could even rival the 1.4 million buys of Trinidad-Delahoya. I would be surprised if it's not north of 1 million buys.

The numbers are not in yet, but that satellite pre-orders were so high that they are projecting that it will crush Mayweather vs JMM's numbers.

Maybe it's because of the area I live in but I'd definitely say more people get buzzing about Pacquiao then Mauweather these days.

You are right, PBF-JMM PPV was cheaper and priced at $49.95 while Pacquiao-Cotto was priced at $54.95. Pacquiao-Cotto PPV numbers needs only about 909,000 buys to match the gross earnings of PBF-JMM 1 million PPV buys.

And people think boxing is dead

Thanks to the welterweight division the sport has been completely reborn and is once again on top of the world

I've been looking at the media coverage of this fight and it's just tremendous. I mean 100 times more outside of the normal boxing media coverage than Mayweather / Marquez.
