    They said ay least 1.6 so thats great. I was listening to espn raido and those guys said there'll be surprised if it did like 800K!! PPL need to understand that Boxing is still the **** and when Pacquiao KO DLH he took that from him. Some PPL only watched boxing when DLH fights, so when Pacquiao beat him everybody knows him now. Plus Pacquiao has been whooping fools for the longest. I expect an easy 3mil buys for Pacquiao-Mayweather!!! One of the biggest fights ever in boxing history

    800k is more realistic but if it did 1 mil I would be impressed ..

    One of the British journalists said they had 1 million buys well before the day of the fight. I'm not surprised.

    Cosnidering this was the biggest fight so far and you had Ricky's following and Manny's it could break 1 mil ..And if that happens Floyd better realize if they do meet he's taking the shorter money !

    Shane Mosley and B-Hop beat De La Hoya and they barely get people to watch them on free tv. Pacquiao and Mayweather have it.

    Even if Arum is off by more than 600k it would still exceed all earlier estimates and expectations. Great for boxing.:happy

    i'd think that a million ppvs for that card which had a horribly shitty undercard would be a cause for celebration already. if they make it to 1.5 million, then pac and hattons were bigger stars than i initially presumed
