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

[fan johnny]

Exactly double what I thought it would do. Hats off to Floyd. It's going to make the negotiations with Arum fun.

Who says it was Floyd? I thought it was Mayweather/Marquez show?

Right, it was all Marquez fans buying it

So by that logic, Marquez is a bigger star than Pacquiao or Hatton. Pull the other one. People said from day one that this promotion was all on Mayweather & that when it failed it would prove he had no pulling power. The fact is he does.

People on here spend too much time thinking about Mayweather as 'fight fans' rather than a casual sports fan. Mayweather brings in different demographics that no other fighter is really bringing right now, hence why he does a mil basically off his name.

Naw, it was neither... it was Pacquiao fans who never seen Mayweather fight....

Is that smiley an indication of what you want to do to Manny's asshole?

I've said before Mayweather brings in different demographics, certainly young people, & particularly in the black community. He is an idol among young black kids even over here, some of whom who have no interest in boxing. Amazingly they buy PPVs even if they don't all flood boxing forums going on about how Mayweather would beat Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker & Muhammad Ali at the same time

It was a tongue-n-cheek comment, ya idiot!

Marquez was the only reason I layed down 50 bucks.But that was one of the better PPV cards on whole in a long while.

Has HBO stopped the replays of the PPV main events?

Yes, I'm the idiot

You do realize that it is tongue in cheek. 'tongue-n-cheek' means tongue and cheek, which I suppose only makes sense for you if it means your tongue inside the Pacman's ass cheek

[Truth]

This is fabulous for the sport.

It's funny but some Die hard Mayweather haters on other forums are claiming the sales are down to Marquez. it's actually disapointing that fight fans can be that pathetic.

I mean Like him or hate him Mayweather is clearly one of if not the biggest draw in boxing He probably does a million plus fighting anyone now provided he has 24/7 before hand!

I mean the Moseley fight could be incredibly huge with all the build up throughout the years and in my opinion would be second only to A pacman Showdown! Pacman, Mayweather wow that would be a special fight and sales may break all records.

[jdonaher1]

I highly doubt Mosley-Mayweather would do anything close to 1 million buys. I'd say no more than 600k buys.

Maywether-Cotto I could see 1.25mil if Cotto wins a non-controversial
decision or KO. I'd say Pacman-Floyd could do close to 2mil buys. Enough money for Floyd to piss away yet again...
