After seeing Mayweather Marquez PPV Sales

[generalbulldog]

Mayweather has shown that he is a PPV attraction by the #s his last fight put up. However in my opinion this does not mean he is necessarily a bigger draw than Manny. I think that Mayweather sparked the public's interest and Manny and Miguel will set it off sort of. I'll go out on a limb and say that Pac Cotto does 1.3 M

How do you predict Pac - Cotto sales go?

Mayweather is the cash cow of the sport now. Against a Mexican fighter that is virtually unknown to the general public he manages 1 million PPV buys and in a recession. Can't say he's not the draw anymore.

Whereas Hatton-Pacquiao was marketed even bigger and seems to be the bigger fight but only managed 825,000 ppv buys.

I'd be surprised if Cotto-Pacquiao does 1 million. It's going to be seen by the general American public as 2 foreigners fighting. America don't like foreigners, unless 1 of their own is beating the shit out of the other foreigner.

Those number are US only numbers. The jury is still out on this. Pac/Cotto has got nothing to do with Mayweather.

And Mayweather-Hatton did 900,000+ and that's just the US numbers. Either way Floyd has proven that he's the bigger draw than Pac against the same opponents in a very similar economic climate.

Cotto-Pac might be similar to Hatton-Pac in terms of ppv buys, in that they are 2 foreign fighters that have an exciting style but does only a decent number, overall it's the American buying general public that dictates PPV sales.
