2.2 million buys for "The One"

Canelo is a bigger draw then him or was

 

good luck getting anyone to pay $75 to see a snoozefest vs thurman, bradley, devon alexander ect.....wont happen

 

It just DID happen.

Heard the same after the DLH fight, after the JMM fight, after Mosley fight, after the Guerrero fight, etc., etc.......Rinse, lather, repeat.

 

1.7

 

It was due to Canelo. Unless Pac beats Rios in brutal fashion and Floyd fights him after that, I don't see Floyd making anywhere close to these numbers.

 

PPV's of any fight are mostly 70 bucks anyways.

Mayweathers problem will be selling fights with non-names like Alexander and even Bradley if he were to beat Marquez.
Those fights are just not going to surpass 1 million buys no matter how high *****s scream and jump.

To do numbers well into the 1 million buys you need a name fighter as an opponent........Canelo, Chavez jr., Andre Ward at 160 lbs......
A charasmatic type like Sergio Martinez maybe at a catchweight of 157-158 lbs.......
Maybe the power hitting Golovkin at 154 lbs who's called out Mayweather.....

.....but other than that, you dont have a big PPV fight for Mayweather as far as US sales are concerned.

 

The Guerrero fight flopped in PPV sales, the other names you mentioned were boxing household names.

 

Yeah, Mayweather had no part in it.

Okay, champ.

 

900K to 1.1 Mil (depending on what number you use) is a flop now?

Those numbers are basically the same as the number he did with your boy and 'household name' Juan Manuel Marquez.

Yeah, Okay champ.

 

What's the break even number?

 

I will wait until Golden Boy comes out with the official numbers becuase the early reports are always high. They said that Floyd vs Shane did 2 million before they came out with official numbers as well. Before the offical PPV numbers in Floyd's last fight with Robert they said it was well over a million buys. Overall event was a great success. ......financially and with a good undercard....namely the co main event. I'm stick with 1.7 million. Nelo is a big draw but nothing like DLH, Floyd or Pac.

 

Floyd vs Guerrero generated 870K in PPV officially. While it wasnt a flop in terms of Floyd carrying that card all on his name....it was a flop for SHO. They had expected Floyd to do numbers that weren't realistic without a good undercard. PAC went through the same **** when he carried that PPV card fighting Clottley in Dallas. It didn't break a million because his opponent wasnt well known and the undercard sucked.

 

I believe 2 million. ...anything over that and Floyd makes money on the PPVs. But with his $41.5 million guarantee. .....he ain't sweatin the numbers. But Showtime are looking a little more intently on those numbers.

 

I don't think you'll find that as the 'official' number. That's what Dan Rafael said his sources told him. Stephen Espinoza, head of Showtime Sports, said it did over 1 million. Don't think we've ever had a confirmation either way.

Small thing overall, but regardless, my general point to divac still stands.

 

ALOT of garages here had the fight going, almost every other house.....
