    2 million. Minimum. Most likely it will do 3 million. Especially if it happens after Pacquiao-Thurman and Pac wins.

    700K. I think that many people do not realise that the PPV market is trending downwards. Consider the PPV fights in the past year and the comparison to those 5-10 years ago. PPV numbers would be higher then.

    Also, with the easy access to illegal streaming today, I expect these numbers to only go down.

    The only thing I know for sure is that a buy from me won't be counted.

    1 mill tops, both way past prime, there isn't the same type of rivalry like there was before and so interest will be lower and streaming piracy it will impact numbers.

    Mayweather Canelo would probably sell 3 mill now, so why not rather go for that fight @154. Im sure Nelo wont mind to avenge his only loss

    Closed circuit is usually $75 and up. Not worth it at all.

    I'm really bad at this. I'm always like "Why would anyone want to watch that let alone buy it for one hundred dollars?" Then it inevitably does ten times what I expected.

    I remember people suing because Pacquiao claimed the shoulder injury and people felt they were served a product that was not on the level

    Casual sports fans were really upset and felt robbed after the first fight. The carrot was dangled in their face for years and when it finally happened, predictably, the fight never met the expectations it had built for years.

    Floyd did go on to do a huge PPV w McGregor but that a had a lot to do with McGregor and the boxing vs UFC phenomenon. With Pacquiao we have all seen that movie. Now Pacquiao has done good numbers on ESPN and the Broner fight did 400,000 which is a huge dump off from his past PPV''s

    Outside of a few fringe opinions most saw a complete and dominant fight that was also boring in a decision for Mayweather. And I doubt many people have seen anything to change that opinion that the fight would go any differently.

    Now there are a lot of gullible people and bad consumer who will just shell out but I dont know if people are "dumb enough" to fall into this again. I know a lot of people hate Floyd and would love to see him lose but Pacquiao isnt some undefeated young hot shot who they can do a ton of promos for. Hes an old fighter who Floyd already dominated

    Garcia vs Spence did 300,000 or 350,000 and I'd say thats about as far as a boxing fan fight can stretch in viewers as I highly doubt casual sports fans bought the fight. In order to crack a mil you need to get a large share of non boxing fans. I mean a fight fans fighter like Golovkin didnt have great PPV numbers before Canelo and I dont remember Ward selling much either,.

    In short May/Pac 2 would require huge crossover appeal and I think that ship sailed
