I don't think it would beat ODLH/Mayweather, but it could come close. The golden boy was the PPV king without a doubt. I would guess right around 2 mil flat.

Whats more impressive is that a fight with two american fighters did that many buys.

There was no "country vs country" behind the fight. There was no "national pride" at stake. It was two American fighters who more or less share the same type of crowd appeal which is the american public. That plus whatever crowd Mosley appeals to mayweather appeals to the bigger majority of it, so its actually very good. I can't think of the last time two american's really put on that big of a PPV fight. Maybe Tyson vs Spinks.

But if you look most of the biggest PPV fights, either was foreign vs foreign or American vs Foreign.

Like Oscar DLH vs Trinidad was Mexico vs Puerto Rico. Pacquiao vs Cotto, Phillipines vs Puerto Rico because they have large demographics to sale a fight on and many people.

But american's have so many boxing stars its very hard to solidify one or two and sale them to the same audience.

So the fact Shane and Floyd both did 1.4 mill is very impressive imo.

I would say Oscar dela Hoya vs Mayweather. Oscar is an American boxer of Mexican descent. A number of Mexicans that I know don't even consider him as Mexican.

De La Hoya carried the Mexican fans though and I definitely wouldn't say Pacquiao has a bigger fanbase in America just a more devoted one I guess. De La Hoya owns LA when it comes to boxing like no one else does any city in America.

I don't care how much they hype a Manny/Floyd fight it will never come close to Floyd vs Oscar in PPV numbers and I don't believe it would do 2 million buys. Oscar was the darling of the networks and was/is a very good speaker and Floyd and Manny don't stack up in those regards.

So what's your guess? You can't take lower than 2 million

Yes I can, I said less than 2 million but if you want my prediction I will say 1.8 million, I have doubts the fight will be made so it could be zero. I have never purchased a PPV but I seem to see almost all the fights live, I'm sure there are thousands and thousands like me who are interested but not enough to spend their money on a PPV fight. I was able to find a good stream for the Floyd Shane fight.

I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new site and the replying with quotes, just previewed it so I think I have it now.
