Would it have made a difference if HBO did 24/7 or the fight was made at a later date?

700k is huge on anyone's scale, except for Mayweather negotiating scale. I think promoters are dreaming that PPV's will get any larger that 1.5 million in today's economy and add that to the Internet's live streaming.

Put the fights on pod cast at $5 right after the live event maybe delayed for 2 to 3 hours and I think there lots of downloads especially if news gets out that it was a good fight.
