How much PPV buys would it take ........

[InTheNeutralCorner]

.......... for you to consider the Pacquiao-Clottey fight a success?

I have to put several things into considerations such as Pacquiao's previous PPV buys, the PPV draw of his opponent, the fact that this fight is between two non-American, and the strength of the organized conspiracy perpetuated by the Mayweather clan & the posters in this forum. Okey, I lied with regards to that last one.

I would say 700,000.

[MMASUX]

I would agree with 700,000. Anywhere around that would be a good number.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay. I haven't been here that long and they might kick me out already.

I think guys with the drawing power of Pac and Mayweather they could get around 700,000 fighting B level fighters almost everytime. So I think 700,000 is not necessarily successful but more like the number they must at least garner. I don't think anyone would expect that Pac/Clottey is going to do less than that figure. So that figure is really the starting point. I think its feasible for Pac/ Clottey to get to 1 million. Pac has a strong following and as long as he is fighting a live opponent then he should be good on the PPV buys. So for success of this fight I think 850,000+ is a good figure. And I think it will reach it.

Dela Hoya-Mayorga only did 600K+

I would say DelaHoya is more popular than Pac and Mayorga is more known than Clottey.

600K is already a success.

We're working on it

I would consider 400,000 - 500,000 a modest success. It's a bit of a let-down of a fight and Clottey isn't that well known. If it has a strong undercard I could see it doing very well.

[generalbulldog]

I'd say 700k and up would be successful.

Of course if it were to do something like 250k I would just laugh my ass off and that Pac's team fukked up again. That was the number Pac-David Diaz did.

As irrelevant as this fight was De la Hoya/Mayorga did 935,000 PPV buys. Top Pay Per View Events in Boxing History

I don't know really if I had to have money on how well it will do id say around 800k.

[Gandalf]

I couldn't care less, but I would tell everyone here not to buy it.

Vote with the pocket and buy newly clean top level boxing like Shane Mosley against Mayweather instead. That is the way forward.

That's a good one CFH.
What? You're not kidding? I might as well just join this Mime Forum that I saw. I'll try it in here first to see if I'll fit in there .............













































How did I do?

If the Pacquiao-Clottey fight only does 250k, then I would say that Mayweather is right when he said that his fight with Pacquiao is not going to be a 50/50. It should be 60/40 in Manny's favor. Oh, that's not what Floyd meant by that? Alright, Floyd gets the bigger share.
