Mayweather/McGregor Fight Discussion

the way they are talking they saying this will do 5 mill buys minu maybe even 6 or 7 million buys I read just now it will make 1 billion

Are they setting themselves up for a fail?

 

If they flopped so bad why havent many other boxers surpassed those numbers? just because a fight didnt hit a million buys doesnt mean it flopped. Other than Pac, Floyd, Cotto, Canelo and the Kbros not many boxer get above 300-500k ppvs

 

We literally have no idea, but again you have an entire UFC fanbase that will be buying this fight to see if Conor can give UFC supremacy over boxing, however ridiculous that idea is. (you know that's what UFC fans are thinking and why they want to watch)

 

Where did you read that it would do a billion?

 

Yeah because it's a 6 fight deal...if they didn't make money why would they put up $$$ for Floyd & Conor. 4 flops and two hits...the hits did his quota easy. Espinoza has said that.

 

i expect 2million buys...will do less than mayweather-canelo and mayweather-delahoya

 

I am assuming the entire appeal of this fight centres on the possibility of McGregor going off script and pulling some UFC **** like that.

I just can't see why anyone would be at all interested in it otherwise.

 

A billion no...I think they have no idea as do most of us fans. This fight imo will be no.2 to may/pac in ppv records

 

It's quite simple... Purses and PPV buys for Cotto/Canelo/Pac were officially announced and those were massive PPV successes. All I'm saying is that the numbers you're hearing from Floyd and Connor are what they HOPE to make at the TOP END, not what they're guaranteed.

 

So do we agree he met his quota for his 6 fight deal for Showtime? Cotto was HBO...Guerrero was his first fight for Showtime

 

Yes. 4 flops, but made up by Pac/Canelo.

 

ricky hatton could come out of his cokeboy, pie eating retirement with three months training camp and still destroy connor mcgreggor in a boxing match.

 

I could see McGregor going to kick Myaweather in the head or trying to take him down, missing by miles and getting countered with a KO shot. Thus embarrassing himself, MMA and the UFC even further.

 

It's just as likely White doesn't want to disclose what Conor's getting in comparison to paltry UFC purses.

 

Why do you care? Jealously is a ***** like trait.
