PPV Buys

[Moono]

The buys will not up for 2 weeks probably...but I am guessing around 650-750,000 buys

About 1.2 max is my guess. Where can you find the official figures then?

I have no clue. I was hoping Saddoboxer hits this thread up cause he is the man when it comes to articles.

I think this fight made good numbers. Almost every bar around here was playing the fight and EVERY person I knew even aquaintances were somewhere watching it.

Oscar made a million for fighting Mayorga so It would be massively disappointing if this didn't break make at least double that.

Your figure of 650,000 I mean not double the Mayorga, it won't make 2 million but it should make more 1.2 - 1.6 imo

Looking at those figures you would definitely think a million.

I wonder if the fact that many people thought it was going to be a blowout for Oscar might have hurt the sales figures?

[Youngblood]

I think whatever they are, they will be a lot lower because people right now are likely quite afraid to spend money due to the economy. And especially on fringe items. And also right before Christmas?

I m guessing that the USA is the majority of this market. Every time I turn on CNN, the job losses are up, the Dow is tanking, home losses and bankruptcies up, sales are expectations are down, fear, fear etc all over the news...

I'm here in Canada, and know personally, everyone I know is scared to spend money, my dad, my grand parents, or have lost a bunch already in investments.

How much of a factor it plays, who knows, but surely it will?
