What fights can produce 1m PPV buys?

Should Pac beat Hatton and Arum goes with Cotto-Pac like he plans to do you think it would get the 1m ppv buys?

 

Mayweather vs Pacquiao

 

probably more fights than you think.... oscar gets so much promotion on espn and network tv with commercials, advertisements, & interviews.... if some other guys got as much coverage as oscar did they might be able to do it.....

it just takes someone who
is visibly pleasing or a bad guy persona
a good streak of ko's & a pleasing style

like if jermain taylor was all over espn with interviews & advertisements talking about he some dangerous ko artist and he was fighting.. calzaghe... it would do pretty good i bet...

 

Mayweather Pac easily.

 

At the moment its Hatton and Pac all I can think of.

What sux for Pac on why he doesn't have PPV numbers in the Philippines is...

1. Not many could afford cables mostly they are tapped lines.
2. Cable is very costly with Phils. Economy right now.(well ever since anyway)
3. They show delayed telecast anyway on local channels. Around 2-3 hours delay. So not a huge problem to wait 2-3hours.
4. Around thousand of people watch Free Live Streaming on public areas like basketball courts or gymnasium by local governments.
5. Live viewing can also be found on malls for a cheaper cost and not much crowded. Which count as 1 PPV only while thousand of people watching.
6. On international PPVs. Most Filipinos just find a friend who has a huge TV and huge house, they share the amount of PPV and around dozens of them watching.
7. Most pinoys with good internet just go watch at streaming on the net.

 

tyson jerking off at mad square!

 

Wasn't there a sold out house for Shane-Margo? In the range of something like 20K? Shane-Mayorga sold well as well.

Buys are hard to gauge because of the economy, regional popularity of fighters and all that stuff. Also have to figure in pricing and the season...it's not really an exact science fitz.

In all honesty outside of Pac and Hatton, the only fight I can think of off the top of my head is JMM-Pac 3.

The last JMM-Pac fight did about 475K...It's been a while. The rivalry has continued to simmer on in boxing, both guys are P4P 1 and 2 AND their fan bases are hungr for a rematch. Add in Pac's newly found popularity as a mainstrem name and it has all the makings of coming in in the 750K range.

 

hatton-mayweather 2
hatton-dlh


possibly hatton-pac & mayweather-pac

 

PAC vs JMM 3
PAC vs Floyd
Hatton vs Floyd
Hatton vs Pac
Hatton vs Cotto
DLH vs (doesn't matter)


maybe
Floyd vs JMM
Floyd vs Cotto

 

BTW with this economy its hard to say. I'll bet it will be lessen.

1. Less money income by the people.
2. Why waste money on PPV if you are having hard time to feed yourself.
3. Too much Streams on the net.
4. Both are just mid-household name at the US.

 

Cotto-Mosley did 375K (with an added estimated 50K in PR) which is respectable in boxing. In fact it was the 4th most purchased boxing PPV that year. Most fights don't even approach that number these days.

I don't think he's an amazing sell but your statement "Shane can't put any butts in seats for the life of him" is inaccurate.
