MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
http://boxing.fanhouse.com/2010/05/1...-mosley/#cntnt
According to Leonard Ellerbe, The Mayweather/Mosley fight did 1.4 million buys. The total will probably go up after everything is tallied, which would make this the second highest non heavyweight ppv of all time. The only one that did better was Mayweather's fight against DLH. Boxing is still alive and well when a ppv can put up those numbers despite one contestant being a 4/1 underdog.
Mayweather now involved in the biggest and second biggest non heavyweight bouts.
and is 4th all time in PPV sales.

Don't know that I'd trust Ellerbe as he's hardly an unbiased party, but the fight did well which makes me happy, as it did to see similar numbers from Pac/Clottey.

Re: MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
Not sure he said homes? Marketing people like to play word games.
It wasn't an official HBO release, but rather Ellerbe making a press release. The last time Keven Y. did a PPV numbers release it was pretty close to the actual number. 1.4 is substantially higher.

Re: MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
Pac Clottey did like 700,000 which is good considering Clottey's lack of name.

Rick Reeno reported this the other day as unofficially coming from an HBO source. I think if Ellerbe was going to embellish figures he would have done it earlier. The 1.2m that Iole was reporting was off incomplete figures, so it isn't ridiculous to think it went up.

updated 33 minutes ago
LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jrhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adT...lass_10x10.gif. proved to be a box office draw in his fight with Shane Mosley, with 1.4 million buys for television revenue of $78.3 million.
HBO released figures Tuesday that showed the fight made the top 10 of pay-per-view bouts ever. The most pay-per-view buys for a fight was 2.4 million for Mayweather's 2007 bout with Oscar De La Hoyahttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif.
Mayweather's manager, Leonard Ellerbe, said the buys helped Mayweather pocket $40 million for the fight. He had been guaranteed $22.5 million plus a percentage of the sales.

I thought it would do a little more, but definitely good numbers.

I imagine him as a kind of mix of Jack Nicholson & Fat Tony. He has to have thinning hair & an expanding gut. That is a must.

Re: MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
Whats more impressive is that a fight with two american fighters did that many buys.
There was no "country vs country" behind the fight. There was no "national pride" at stake. It was two American fighters who more or less share the same type of crowd appeal which is the american public. That plus whatever crowd Mosley appeals to mayweather appeals to the bigger majority of it, so its actually very good. I can't think of the last time two american's really put on that big of a PPV fight. Maybe Tyson vs Spinks.
But if you look most of the biggest PPV fights, either was foreign vs foreign or American vs Foreign.
Like Oscar DLH vs Trinidad was Mexico vs Puerto Rico. Pacquiao vs Cotto, Phillipines vs Puerto Rico because they have large demographics to sale a fight on and many people.
But american's have so many boxing stars its very hard to solidify one or two and sale them to the same audience.
So the fact Shane and Floyd both did 1.4 mill is very impressive imo.

So you're saying he's Sergio Martinez' trainer?

Re: Mayweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
He's just got the glasses, he doesn't have the right kind of look although I was pretty impressed with it overall. He looks more like your full-on nutter type than some sleazy gambling character.

Can you get him to post a picture of himself? Actually better not, it's bound to be a let down.

I don't think it would beat ODLH/Mayweather, but it could come close. The golden boy was the PPV king without a doubt. I would guess right around 2 mil flat.

I would say Oscar dela Hoya vs Mayweather. Oscar is an American boxer of Mexican descent. A number of Mexicans that I know don't even consider him as Mexican.
-
Re: MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
De La Hoya carried the Mexican fans though and I definitely wouldn't say Pacquiao has a bigger fanbase in America just a more devoted one I guess. De La Hoya owns LA when it comes to boxing like no one else does any city in America.

Re: MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)
I don't care how much they hype a Manny/Floyd fight it will never come close to Floyd vs Oscar in PPV numbers and I don't believe it would do 2 million buys. Oscar was the darling of the networks and was/is a very good speaker and Floyd and Manny don't stack up in those regards.

So what's your guess? You can't take lower than 2 million

Yes I can, I said less than 2 million but if you want my prediction I will say 1.8 million, I have doubts the fight will be made so it could be zero. I have never purchased a PPV but I seem to see almost all the fights live, I'm sure there are thousands and thousands like me who are interested but not enough to spend their money on a PPV fight. I was able to find a good stream for the Floyd Shane fight.
I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new site and the replying with quotes, just previewed it so I think I have it now.
