Will Mayweather-Ortiz go over 1.4 million PPV buys?

Easily. This is a monster PPV with explosive fights, Ortiz and Gomez will both put up a fight while we all know what Morales is all about. And I read (haven't seen confirmation) that Gonzalez vs. Rojas is on the card as well, I mean what more do you want? This card cannot possibly go wrong and GBP, HBO and Time Warner are promoting so. It's gonna be HUGE.

I say 1,8M.

 

Damn thats a nice card. It's definitely going to top 1.4 mil

 

Yeah I think so

 

I'm thinking no less than 1.4, between 1.5-1.6. Will have to see the hype and whatnot closer to the fight though...

 

Absolutely not.

 

people will buy it but it will not be a great sell.

 

900,000. they can sell it as a fight all they want and the public will look at the betting odds and know whats up.

 

Reading the thread title I was thinking...YOU gotta be kidding me if you think that!
Reading the entire card though...It's very possible. That is a pretty stacked card with huge draws.
Unfortunately though, if this card does draw above 1.4 mil, or some outrageous number, it'll be another giant reason Pac/ Mayweather never gets made. Mayweather's going to say how he drew such and such with Ortiz, he's the bigger draw (nevermind the fact Canelo and Morales is on this card drawing huge numbers), and then we got this crap again with who gets the most money.
MARK MY WORDS....If this fight draws over 1.4 mil then money will be Floyd's #1 reason for not fighting Pac. Not sure if it'll happen anyway, but it doesn't need more obstacles.

 

Here's the challenge.

I text my casual fan friends and ask "you think Ortiz can beat Mayweather"

When I get back 4 or 5 "who is ortiz" texts, it's done.

1.1 max.

 

if ortiz was a p4p fighter then yeah, it may do 1.1 maybe?

 

hum...lot of time left to promote.

+ maybe your friends know Morales? Or Canelo?

 

Mayweather Marquez did over 1 million, thinking with the stacked card this could go over 1.4. Same selling point as last one, someone with power able to knock Floyd out. Seeing how he performs against a southpaw after the layoff should be another selling point. I think this does well.

 

Some morales.

I'm talking casual guys.

People who would have ordered DLH vs Mayweather.

They maybe are up to order a pacquiao fight if it's vs a margarito or cotto, but i'm pretty sure marquez is even under their radar.

 

Yeah i understand. Of course this is not DLH but what were the numbers for Marquez?

Wasn't it 1.4?
Ortiz can do that (espacially with that undercard)
