700k is a good number considering it's mostly Pacquiao fans buying the PPV, a not so good undercard, and not much fight promotion.

Good news, boxing is still alive and well.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Honestly, I was actually expecting a little higher but it makes sense as Clottey isn't cared about and also, I think people under estimate the power that the 24/7 show has for fight promotion.
Also Daxx, Hatton is only a real ppv attraction in the U.K and Marquez hardly has fans. Didn't his bouts with Manny do like 200-300k? I think Floyds star power shines a little brighter than people give him credit for - Whether it was because of Oscar or not, he's still the new Mr PPV.

Hatton is a bigger name or was a bigger name then given credit for...But there are UK residents and such in the US as well....
Marquez has plenty of fans...As for the PPV sales for him and Manny weree not too much different then PPV sales of lower weight classes especially under 130 this is nwhy there is not too many PPV fights at that weight...
Floyd Marquez did so well because of the
A possible PBF Pacquiao bout
People wanted to see what if anything Floyd lost during the layoff
People wanted to see how he did win or lose against Marquez....
If he won how much did he dominate...If he lost the possibility of Manny Marquez 3
They played big factors in that....
3 fights with Big PPV numbers that had circumstances around them do not qualiofy as the PPV King.....
Is Floyd the PPV king? It takes more then the 3 bouts this is being based on to assure that..I am not saying he might not be but people are jumping the gun....The Mosley fighthas drama around it aside from them 2 finally meeting...The whole Manny PED thing will help boost the sales added with 24/7...
I laugh because people have compared him as the next DLH in PPV but the day Floyd is able to sell PPV the way Oscar did with shit unknown opp will be the day he is the next DLH in PPV sales

I wouldn't say overshadowed. Yes Floyd does great PPV. But you have to take into account Floyd is American, he's been mixing it with HBO for over 10 years.
Pac is a foreigner. He's doing 850,000 and 700,000 with fellow foreigners. Those are numbers that far surpass any top American PPV fighter (other than those mentioned) in the last ten years or so.
Pac deserves great credit for that![]()
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.

it is quite impressive...because the only draw in this fight is PACQUIAO...![]()
The thing is May-Mosley will do 1.5, maybe 2 and then there will be even bigger roadblocks towards ever getting a super fight. Well, assuming Mayweather wins. Which I assume he will.

Like Fenste said it was not until DLH did Floyd become a PPV attraction....Also his PPV high buys are with opponents Hatton who was a PPV attraction himself so that helped....
His return fight w Marquez and that was contributed to many expecting a for sure bout with Manny right after so curiosity on how he looked plus Marquez fans added to that buy...
I would like to see the numbers of him against someone of Clotteys status popularity wise
