I think it will do over 2 million buys. I can feel it in the air. There has not been this much hype and anticipation for a fight since DLH/FMJ. Actually this fight feels bigger and the only fight that could surpass this would be Mayweather Pacquiao which in my opinion was the most hyped fight ever that didn't happen.
It be wise to not expect a Mayweather-emmanuel fight if Mayweather does 2mil sales, AND some how Floyd miraculously manages to KO iron chinned Mosley.
Which will be a bull**** argument. Shane has never been a draw, at the gate or on PPV. Always a solid b-side, but never a draw.
People don't want to admit it but the financial side of the business mean more to the majority of boxers than legacy.
I'm going to stay conservative @ 1.75 to 2.25 million but I have been keeping track of the buzz all day on all boxing and social networks and it's the biggest since DLH/Floyd but we'll have to wait and see.
if tonight does over 2 mil buys then PBF should tell Arum he aint accepting 50/50. That would be stupid considering floyd would of proved his the main draw.
How would they even compare to a Mayweather-Mosley fight in sales? emmanuel vs either of them doesn't have any history behind it like $-Sugar does.
Ill go on record and say i dont think this fight breaks the 2 mark.... i really dont. I will be happy to eat my words on this, because big numbers is good for boxing, but i just dont see it.
Haha can't wait for the excuses if this fight does PPV huge numbers DLH/Mayweather-Mayweather was just riding the coattails of Oscar Hatton/Mayweather-Hatton was the draw(yeah, Americans tuned in to see a fighter they never heard of:roll JMM/Mayweather-It was the Mexicans who sent those PPV numbers through the roof. JMM was the attraction Mosley/Mayweather-Mosley was the reason the PPV did huge numbers. Him being once married to a Korean made him a star in the Asian community. Mayweather can't attract flies to ****.Blah Blah Blah
There is also the possibility that Floyd doesn't win, or that Manny can fight Mosley himself. Or the unique possibility that Mosley could take a dive and Mayweather could give him 20 million in cash to do it via some sorta backroom deal. With hundreds of millions of dollars at stake to fight Pacquiao anything is possible.
