Not sure by how much though and I don't think it will come close to the 2 million Oscar and Floyd did even though Manny is a much bigger star then Floyd.
The ufc 91 was like 40 bucks so it was able to do 800k which is amazing in this economy plus Boxing in America is not as big as it is...Thats why I am going for 650k buys.

no way it even passes the 1.5 million mark or even gets to the 1 million mark.

Not many people know about this fight and sad to say the people want a drama queen like floyd jr to hate to make them order the fight.

hbo thought calzaghe vs jones jr would do around 700-800k buys with the 24/7 and look how horrbile it did 250k buys thats a failure especially with the millions invested in both fighters and the series.
