PPV Numbers Mayweather/Marquez

[Youngblood]

A poll for your guesses. I'm hoping it did well, but really have no clue. What is your guess?

[Cortez The Killer]

They didn't sell out the arena.

Still, 24/7 generates a lot of interest that might otherwise not be there. I'd say 700,000 tops bc competition from UFC.

I doubt we will get a real number. Floyds people will want to keep it hush because Pac-Cotto will probably outsell it and he doesnt want to lose bargaining power.

[JazMerkin]

Youngblood, I dunno how math is going at school, but you do realize there's quite a substantial set of numbers between 600,000 & a million

Not that it matters because Youngblood is a bastard & that's all anyone should have to say on the matter.

[Fenster]

400K. Max. Fact.

[Fenster]

If it's more than 400K they're lying. Take that to the bank. Fact.

Mayweather-Baldomir did almost 400K. You don't think Marquez is a significantly bigger draw than Baldomir? Most people had never even heard of Baldomir.

400K. Max. Fact.

Now I know what it feels like to be you.

haha i know, I needed 6 options, d'oh! was running outta space for the standard Bastard option so jumped a few 400k or so.

[SweetPea]

I guessed ~600K before the fight. I'll stick with that.

There's a chance the fight does better than that, because there's only been one other major PPV all year (Manny-Hatton), and that was more than 4 months ago.

Marquez-Mayweather: No lion, free tickets, apathy, strictly "B" List

I was thinking it but thought there is no need to mention it because if it happened the press will write about it. GBP gave out free ticket to fill the seats for the cameras.

Michael Marley is a tabloid journalist, there's a reason he doesn't even get a single slot for anything but the Examiner (effectively a low-paying blog). He represents all that is wrong with US boxing journalism & makes Dan Rafael look like Hemingway. If you don't remember he's the one who basically wrote a story implying that Corrales & Gatti were pussies immediately after Gatti's death & that he was 'more of a man'.

[Diane]

I voted between 400,000 - 600,000.

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

[Youngblood]

Going to make my guess at 780, 024 (give or take a few). Call me an optimist.
