I've heard somewhat disappointing figures..

Yeah, in reality any PPV over 1 millions buys is highly successful. Its just Schaefer rained on his own parade by saying that bullcrap about 4 million buys. Now what in reality is successful appears to be a failure. Forget what you heard. Boxing is doing well.

To be fair it is a bit disappointing even if you didn't pay a bit of attention to Schaeffer's four million bullshit. Mosley's never been a huge star but it seemed like there was a ton of buzz for this one.

The silver lining is that assuming they can ever get over the drug test BS this makes a May-Pac fight more likely. If Mayweather had picked up a huge number, 2 million or so (which seemed very possible to me) then no way he would have accepted 50/50.

Even if this fight did do 2 million PPV buys, Mayweather imo would still fight Pac considering that he did do 2.4 with Oscar and was still willing to accept 50/50 for the money split before the fight was off.

Great point Ouma these numbers could actually be positive in Pac.Floyd talks as Floyd knowing 50/50 will still be by far his biggest pay day and he cant really demand much more after these figures and he will probably no this.

Yeah I agree - anything over 1 million buys is excellent. When is the last time a heavyweight fight did over a million buys?? Other than an all Klitshcko battle royal vs. each other I can't think of a single heavyweight fight that would get anywhere near a million at this moment.

I'm guessing Pacman-Mayweather will break the all-time PPV record. I say 2.5mil+ If Floyd and Manny can pretty much do a million buys just about everytime out now I think it has a chance.
