Mayweather's PPV numbers are looking good

[albsur2006]

Word on the street (Yahoo and ESPN) says that Mayweather Marquez sold close to ONE MILLION PPVs. Numbers will be final soon. That is a HUGE success for Floyd and HBO. Honestly, I was thinking "ehhh, 500K" but this proves that Floyd is a PPV attraction. There is no more question. When the dude says he's "Money" he's got the proof. 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!!!

Wow, at the start people were doubting the fight would sell... Those are some great numbers. Now just imagine what a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight would be worth

Yeah, and the Marquez fight was a fight that everyone thought he'd definitely win. Imagine when the media machine pushes Mayweather-PacMan. They'll annoint Manny as Floyd's biggest threat and the public will really perceive the fight as a tossup (personally, I think Floyd wins a decent UD). Manny is the perfect hero, Floyd is the PERFECT villian. Manny is the P4P #1, Floyd is the "real" P4P #1. Manny destroyed Floyd's opponents after Floyd just beat them. The styles will make for a good action fight because Manny is relentless but not big enough to cause Floyd to be way too defensive. Good action fight. The two biggest stars in the sport. Man, I've got a hard on just thinking about this fight. Arum!!! DON'T F*CK THIS UP PLEASE!!! I just see it will be a ruthless PPV percentage battle. If Arum thinks Manny deserves 50% after this, he's crazy. It should be 60-40 or 55-45 Mayweather and let's get this thing on. It will be a great fight and I think could do more than ODLH-Floyd. The best part about these Mayweather-Marquez numbers is that while GBP is celebrating a success, ODLH probably has a bruised ego that Floyd really was the money guy hahahaha.
