After seeing Mayweather Marquez PPV Sales

[Cortez The Killer]

Mayweather has shown that he is a PPV attraction by the #s his last fight put up. However in my opinion this does not mean he is necessarily a bigger draw than Manny. I think that Mayweather sparked the public's interest and Manny and Miguel will set it off sort of. I'll go out on a limb and say that Pac Cotto does 1.3 M

How do you predict Pac - Cotto sales go?

Mayweather is the cash cow of the sport now. Against a Mexican fighter that is virtually unknown to the general public he manages 1 million PPV buys and in a recession. Can't say he's not the draw anymore.

Whereas Hatton-Pacquiao was marketed even bigger and seems to be the bigger fight but only managed 825,000 ppv buys.

I'd be surprised if Cotto-Pacquiao does 1 million. It's going to be seen by the general American public as 2 foreigners fighting. America don't like foreigners, unless 1 of their own is beating the shit out of the other foreigner.

Way too speak for all of America

Most "Americans" I know wanted Hatton to beat Mayweather and wanted Marquez to beat Mayweather.


I think you underestimate how a lot of people tend to get behind the perceived underdog/humble fighter. Which in 24/7's case, and 24/7 does seem to be the X-factor in marketing BIG PPV's sales, the humble and/or underdog fighter always seems to not be an American.

I think a lot of people bought that fight to see if Marquez could pull an upset against Floyd, not to see an "American beat the crap out of a foreigner"
