Report: Mayweather vs. Maidana 2 PPV buys reach 925,000 - MMAmania.com
925,000 ppv buys.
25,000 more than the first fight.
What i you guys think the PPv numbers would look like?
I thought he might do over a mill due to the fact that people out there thought Maidana won and it was close the first time around.
People are stupid. Maidana was limited and did not deserve a second shot. It wasted a Floyd fight against a decent and better fighter.
Agreed and those numbers are probably padded.Quote:

Yup very strange. Very weak card. If it had one big undercard fight it could have done really well.Quote:

Maidana has a huge fanbase and because the first fight was close he'd have won a lot of new fans who genuinely believed he could take Floyds O.
I can see those figures being real, the undercard or lack of it means fuck all.
People will pay when they think there's a real chance Floyd will lose.
The guys got more haters than fans but they will still pay the ppv fee.
Very good numbers considering the undercard was very weak and maidana had zero chance of winning.
I'm surprised it did that many. Maidana, even in making it a close fight the first time, never came close to hurting Mayweather or landing clean with any consistency. It was an ugly fight in which Floyd figured him out in the mid rounds.
It also had a shit undercard compared to the first fight.

I guess I'm stupid, because I wanted to see it!Quote:

That is true, more people watch him to see him lose. Which is why we want him to fight Manny or GGG.Quote:

If Khan had the chin I think he could, but I think Mayweather would probably put him away, even with Mayweather being so passive out there.
What is most amusing about these types of threads is people say "those numbers are probably padded" without thinking it isn't Showtime putting the numbers out, it isn't Floyd. The people reporting the numbers have absolutely nothing to gain by fudging the numbers. Can't reality enter boxing discussion occassionally?
Haha, people talk out their ass and jump to opinions/conclusions that they want to reach. That's life.Quote:
