    I guess that there is a civilisation of 5 billion aliens living on a planet on the other side of the Milky Way who watched the Mayweather fight via an illegal stream.

    Alien species don't give a **** about the Klitschkos.

    the reason I dont watch mayweather is, i dont want to get up at 4-5am in the morning, he is just not that interresting to me. If he was on in prime time (outside the US) im sure he would get more viewers too.

    Pac is big time on Pandora. Hard to say exactly how many of them watch him due to their high rate of cable piracy, though.

    Let's just go ahead and throw in half of them and that's like 200 million.

    12m people watched in Germany (sourced)
    20m people watched in Ukraine (sourced)
    He has a huge fanbase in Poland, Russia, and all of Eastern Europe and he fights on every major sports network in those countries (sourced)
    He fights on major sportsnetworks throughout the world and there is a huge list that you can find with all the countries and networks (sourced)

    How anyone thinks that the number could even be less than 75m is just poor at using simple skills in analyzing data. When a fight airs on a network, people simply watch it. Although the Klitschkos get high ratings on HBO (sourced) they still would automatically produce 1m or the average number of being on the network. That means with more networks there are just more people. There is no way that the Klitschkos can air fights in 40+ countries and not reach 100m viewers, including their huge fanbase they already have in Eastern Europe/Poland/Germany/Russia.

    A real source is a link to a reputable site. Not an affirmation from a Klittard.

    See the difference?

    The PPV revenue that is generated by 700-900k at $60-70, plus the possible $12-15Million in gate revenue makes what Wlad generate make you think those are numbers from a Miami Marlins baseball game compared to what Mayweather-Guerrero possibly generated.

    Let's throw #'s out there, just to to speculate for fun. Let's say Mayweather-Guerrero sold 850k PPV's [let's just calculate 850k x $65 since we do not know how many people bought it in HD or SD], and $12million at the gate. That is $55 Million in PPV revenue plus the $12mill in gate revenue = $67 million.

    Did Wladimir Klitschko Generate more than $67Million dollars in his last fight with his 100 million viewers?

    So that's 32 million (not sourced).

    :yep

    That's amusing.

    I've actually made a lot of posts about the much higher viewing figures of European boxing, particularly the Klitschkos who are the most watched fighters in Europe. Hugely popular.

    But you can't just pull 100m out of your arse.

    We've reached an agreement:

    Klitschkos appeal to humans, and Mayweather appeals to Aliens.
