GBP claiming Mayweather vs Marquez will do more than 1M PPV Buys

[JazMerkin]

Now that's insulting!

Might reach 500K-600K with all the hype.

Glad I could help

You guys act like this fight is an overpriced screwing and colossal waste of time, but yet Pac's minions and most others were happy to pony up $49.95 last year to see him smack around that tomato can David Diaz which was 10x the horseshit matchup

It's not?

Of course it is, we need more tough competitive PPVs like the much heralded, fan friendly Cotto-Jennings/Pavlik-Rubio double header

I didn't pay for it, and I never said it was a good PPV card, because it wasn't PPV worthy.

Anything with Mayweather is a waste of my money, and I refuse to line his pockets.

apparently not when he helps hold the record for most PPV buys, DLH didn't do it alone, other DLH fights that were already expected to have lots more entertainment value didn't sell as much as that fight

I never said that Floyd didn't bring some of the numbers in, I know he has his fans, but the truth is, before he fought Oscar or Hatton, his highest ppv number was 374,000 against Zab Judah. He did 365,000 against Gatti, and 325,000 against Baldomir, so yeah he can claim that he's part of the ppv record, but it was mostly Oscar's doing.

i say it has to do evenly with both, Oscar just being The Golden Boy and Mayweather knowing how to sell a fight

Well we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Because, I say no way in hell was Mayweather responsible for bringing in 50% of the ppv buys for his fight against Oscar.

[Taeth]

Mayweather obviously doesn't have the draw of OScar or Tyson, but he did give Oscar his biggest PPV sales, and not just OScar but he gave the sport its biggest PPV sales. Oscar alone didn't do that, He definitely was the bigger reason why people tuned in, but Floyd was the opponent that made that many people willing to shell out 50$ to watch it.

I think that number is relative and runs in conjunction with exposure.. The more people he beats on the world stage the more people will tune in for future fights... I doubt anyone will touch the numbers of Tyson and Oscar

Quite the opposite, its the WAY he beats people (as well as who) on the world stage that make the casual fan(the fans who generate the huge PPV numbers) not want to watch him much less pay $50+ dollars to do it. Hes had plenty of chances to entertain fans inside the ring but instead chooses to pick on fighters he can dance around and get the decision.

And on that, it is Gatti who did drag all the assistance as Gatti was one of the most charismatic fighter and interestingly enough, one of those who did the biggest amount of headlines for HBO.
