Great numbers!!!!...No one has ever done numbers like that with Shane Mosley as the opponent. :good:good:good
It's hard to call the 2nd biggest non heavyweight ppv fight a failure. When it does numbers like that. Who believed that the fight would do 3million apart from Schaffer? Even 2 million was pushing it with someone like mosley. Most people predicted 1.5 mil which is a great number. Considering the factors involved.
The guy just made 40 million off this fight, and you still dont think he can call himself the cash cow?
Are you not listening to me? Are you just arguing to argue? I ****ing said it was a good number, jesus christ.
Please tell me this a joke. Unless you're telling me that you're gullible enough to believe that Schaefer was serious when he mentioned 3 and 4 million buys, the fight did not fall anywhere near that short of projections. Pretty much everyone had it pegged around 1.5 million buys, and that's just about what it's going to do. You can't listen to promoter talk all the time. Arum said Pacquiao vs. Clottey was going to surpass the Pacquiao/Cotto numbers. It didn't come close. Would you call that fight a failure?
Hey, I'm going to do 300 jumping jacks right now! Oh ****, I only got to 100 and stopped. I am a success!
My first point was, I think deep down, they expected more. ...and yes, 1.4 is a very good number and it's good for boxing.
It failed to meet it's projected buys. That is the ****ing definition of failure, holy **** floyd nut huggers are dense.
1.4 millie isn't bad at all! If it really does 1.6 then that is great I can only imagine what Pac vs May will do1
Schaefer estimate of 3 million was way off and I think that affected people's opinions of how well the fight would sell, I thought around 1.7 but 1.4 is still a great draw, realistically they would have had the DLH vs Tito number in mind of what they would want to beat and I seem to remember before the fight they were predicting it dropping in about 5th on the all time list. Credit to both boxers that played their part in selling the fight.
You're in control of how many flipping jumping jacks you can do or are prepared to do, not the publicatsch Bad analogy. Schaffer is a promoter, he promotes and projects big that his job.
