Mayweather vs. Sergio could come close because Pac & May ain't happening and its crazy that folks are still mentioning it.
At it's peak of intrest when it should have happend i think Mayweather Pacquiao might have broken 3m buys, Biggest fight of the PPV era actually bigger then Tyson Holyfield
Not yet. There was a 2.2 estimate, but the final numbers havent been tallied yet. The De La Hoya Mayweather fight was estimated at 2.1 and then brought in 2.4 as the final number so we'll see. :silly
At its peak It would have done 4 million buys. people dont understand how much that fight was buzzed about. there were people who had never watched boxing a day in their lives that knew that fight was a must see. it'll never be that high again. but around 2009-2010. the demand was ridiculous.
Even if the main event is accompanied by a solid undercard,there aren't many fights that can hit 2.5 mill. 1) Mayweather-Khan. Hate him or not, Amir has a big following. Think about it. Why else would Golden Boy allow him to sleep walk to the head of the line, with so many other people available? 2) Cotto-Canelo. Both of these guys have huge fan bases and it's a fight that could actually happen next year! Obviously, there are other really interesting PPV quality matchups(Mayweather-Martinez, Mayweather-Golovkin, Golovkin-Froch, Mayweather-Bradley) but none of them would come close to hitting 2.5...
Exactly. I still speak to casuals at work and the first tbhing they say is will they ever fight. Its criminal they never did and as much as I like both fighters there will also be a massive negative on their CV. Proper let the fans down.
