Can't beleive it! (Mayweather - Marquez PPV Numbers)

[CFH]

You can expect Mayweather Manny to have a projected number of at least two million buys. That's a $110 million gross just from the PPV, heading towards $150 with the site fee, gate, worldwide TV, sponsorship etc. No way that fight doesn't get made.

Even 50% of the final net number is enough to keep Mayweather in comfortable retirement for two or three years.

haha.

Yea this is great news for boxing. And now much as I hate to say it, Cotto really needs to lose to Pac and then we have a bonafide superduper fight and potential record breaker on our hands.

If Cotto beats Pacquiao I think there will be a lot of demand for PBF - Cotto. Obviously not as much as PBF - Pac, but I think it would still be a hugely popular event.

It would be big yea, but not nearly what Pac would do. It is the ultimate all stars lining up PPV boxing event of our recent time. Nothing else could work out remotely close for generating revenue.

So I guess this proves that Money Mayweather is the new cash cow of the sport and not Pacman. It can't be argued anymore. He was fighting a Mexican fighter that the general public never heard of and did 1 mil buys in a recession.

Then Mayweather should fight Mosley or any other true welterweight out there since he's the cash cow and will generate money anyway right? Mayweather can't be using the excuse "that guy is not the draw, I'm not fighting him" since he is the draw now.

Good numbers are good for boxing.Glad to see it.Mayweather did a good job at getting himself in the public eye,the constant AT&T commercials and all the headlines,airtime with WWE.

They had a segment on Versus last night after the fights and 'recaped' the fight.Marquez choice of beverage and Mayweather grabbing the mic and going off got more airtime than the actual match
