He basically sold this PPV off of his name. Marquez's following helped out but Pac-MArquez 2 only did like 500K. Mayweather is finally signed, sealed, and delivered as a true PPV superstar. I thought the PPV would do well because of the buzz amongst everyone but not that well. You haters can't say anything about the man. He's proved the money part, now he's just gotta fight and beat Pac or Mosley (I think both fights will happen honestly) to become the greatest fighter of our generation (if he isn't already).

WOW apparently looking more like 1.6 million, who said Pac was the bigger draw hahahahaha.

Bob Arum better not have a heart attack!!

WHAT?!?! Man, Mayweather probably made an extra 10 million off of the PPV upside percentage if that's the case. A 10 Million guarantee for Floyd meant that GBP probably only thought the fight would do 500-700K. Hell, Marquez probably doubled his 3.25 Mil check. Congrats to Mayweather, Marquez, HBO, GBP, and BOXING!!!
