Mayweather vs Marquez...slow ticket sales again

[ElTerribleMorales]

Didn't Floyd make over 500000 buys with Baldomir, actually I think it was closer to 700000 wasn't it? I think ticket sales hardly reflect ppv sales, I mean Pacquiao-Hatton wasn't sold out until 2 weeks before the fight, and look at its numbers.

Mayweather vs Baldomir only generated 325,000 ppv buys.

Mayweather vs Judah only 374,000

Mayweather vs Gatti only 365,000

He didn't have big numbers until he fought Oscar and Hatton, and those buys came courtesy of Oscar and Hatton fans.

ummm then why did Mayweather/DLH & Mayweather/Hatton still get more PPV sales than Pacquiao/DLH & Pacquiao/Hatton?

I'm just speculating, but I would say that was because the PBF-ODH/PBF-Hatton fights meant more than did the Pac ones. ODH was still seen to be near the top of his game and Hatton was an undefeated P4P fighter when they fought. Pac - ODH was generally seen as a mismatch, it lacked the promotion of the PBF fights, and it just didn't capture peoples imaginations the way the PBF fight did. Hatton had also lost a great deal of his allure by the time he fought Pac. The Pac-Hatton fight also occurred at a time where the economy was not as good as it had been.
