I voted between 400,000 - 600,000.
I actually want to say below 400,000, but I thought that I would be generous.

Going to make my guess at 780, 024 (give or take a few). Call me an optimist.
Over 600K for this fight he really has created a serious following. And deserves to be called MONEY!!!Quote:

I think they'll be happy with 400,000.
According to google trends, "Mayweather vs Marquez" was the #1 searched for for phrase on sunday morning.
The UFC thing was #7
And Shane Mosley was #10
Sunday morning Google trends UFC 103 Mayweather Marquez The SAV SCI MMA blog
This could mean one or two things.Quote:

I have no opinion on his journalism, but apparently his story has some facts in it.Quote:

By J. Michael Falgoust, USA TODAY
While it remains unknown how well Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring did on pay-per-view and closed circuit, his easy 12-round decision against a Mexican opponent didn't sell out despite it being Mexican Independence weekend.
Attendance at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas was announced at 13,116, but Thursday the numbers from the Nevada State Athletic Commission showed that 12,009 tickets were sold at face value, 895 tickets were comps — or giveaways — and 2,645 went unsold.
The total gate: $6,811,300.
The base salary for Mayweather was $10 million while Juan Manuel Marquez cleared $2 million.
I really should have gotten a mod to fix the polling options. :embarassed:
1.6mil PPV it seems. PBF is a draw apparently
And our winners of the PPV numbers contest are:
albsur2006, Aussie Egg, Majesty, and uptoscratch !
Great work!
Honorable mention goes to Youngblood for once again pulling in decent numbers with the Bastard option.
Thank you for playing everyone, and don't forget to tune in for our next poll!
