anyone know it broke the record?
I'm assuming it did but it usually takes a week or so to get the official numbers.
It'll be interesting to see how badly the technical problems cut into the PPV revenue. I think there were entire cities (St. Louis was one) that were all refunded because they were getting a black screen after they ordered.
I think the fight lost the most casual fans in the history of the sport which is a shame but maybe it will stop the $100 ppv.
If there was a stat called "Value per PPV dollar", this would've broken some records for sure.
Negatively speaking, that is.
I think this fight may have ruined boxing. I think most real fans saw almost exactly what was expected (I was hoping for more but not surprised). All the fringe fans were dissapointed and felt duped by all hype. They won't be back.Quote:

My guess is to cheat the fighters.
I feel sorry for all the suckers who paid for this fight. Glad I was not one of them.
What exactly makes you think you know what's going on in other people's minds.Quote:

It all comes down to this, I think you are full of BS. Floyd vs Manny or the fact that is was a very expensive PPV is not going to have a significant effect on boxing, good or bad, in my opinion.
Iole is reporting the certainty of 4 million and maybe 4.5 which would amount to the GNP of some countries
Arum predicted 4-5 million PPV buys. He's pretty smart in some ways.Quote:

I guess with those kind of numbers it can almost guarantee a rematch, even it did half as well it's still bank. Perhaps they can time it for Floyd's fiftieth, even though this fight was a blow out, I'm sure Floyd feels that it would be a great way to end his career and they could still market the hell out of it saying it's a healthy Manny fight. In a year's time a lot of people will forget the angst of this fight.
