    I'd take out brook vs jmm, wilder vs stiverne, and lara vs GGG, leave the rest there reckon it'll do 4mil ppvs'

    think pac vs may on its own will possibly do 3milion.

    If Pac-Mayweather would do 3 million.

    Then the entire card would do 3 million.
    I refuse to believe theres a million people out there who will say "I wasnt going to buyb the card, but then I heard Froch was on it...etc"

    They could put a bunch of paid hobos on the undercard, and it would still do the same number as long as Pac-Mayweather was the main event

    but people have bought cards before, (khan vs Prescott, haye vs harrision) that have ended very quickly, with other decent fights on the card that eliminates this risk. also a good proportion of buyers are bars / clubs etc, who'll have a similar view

    people naturally support their own, in our case British, but in other cases peuto rican / Mexican etc. though its obviously the biggest boxing fight going, would the Mexican community be that bothered paying $100 for a fight they had no link too?

    Every British/Mexican.Puerto Rican fight fan will but Pac Mayweather anyway in my opinion.
    Mexicans are huge boxing fans. Dont you think they'll want to see the biggest fight of the generation anyway?

    Mayweather and Pacquiao are as big a names in Britain as Froch is for example.

    from a hardcore boxing fan perspective they will, but from the casuals point of view I don't think they would where they have no direct involvement with one of their fighters

    the pubs / clubs etc will see it as paying $100 for 2/3 hours of good fights rather than 36 mins, which could make a difference too.

    Floyd vs Pac wouldn't need an undercard. It would be absolutely ridiculous to put Cotto vs Canelo on it, as that would do more than a million on it's own.
