It was a disaster with 24/7. The fight did a little over 200k. You can't simply attatch a 24/7 to any fight and expect it to imporve the numbers. A 24/7 for the Pac/Clottey fight probably wouldn't have boosted sales enough to justity producing one.
Kevin Iole on his twitter page a few days ago guessed 700K. If it does that number then that's would be pretty solid but he further loses negotiating ground to Mayweather considering Mayweather did over 1 million with Marquez.
If it was good there would be rumours on a good number by now. I remember Pac-Diaz numbers wasnt mentioned until a good few days later, and thats because they were crap. More than likely, this was crap. 600-700k probably. Im crap at guessing number though so Im probably way off.
Exactly! Divac must be on Meth again, It's a 2 hour commercial, does anybody really think HBO does it for the artistic value??? I would say a 24/7 could have boosted a possible 750,000 to a possible 1,000,000.
Ole Joe told his hometown rag that he made $10 Million off of that fight. You know, just equal to the guarantee he turned down to face Pavlik. Those number can't be right. :-( :rofl
HAHAHAHAAHH!!!!! I didn't even know jones jr and calzaghe had a 24/7 Granted I was probably underway for it, but still.
Anything less than 700k has to be considered a massive failure. I'm still thinking it will do 800-900k. That would be respectable considering the circumstances and won't really impact Mayweather negotiations later.
Well if this is any indicator then the fight might have tanked: http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AovrOR.rgO9IjTlbzqwHK7uUxLYF?slug=ap-pacquiao-concert Nobody wanted to see Pacquiao mimicking a dying cat.
Pac-Hatton only did 825k. Pac has become bigger but that much bigger? Clottey is virtually unknown and to the die hard fans, the fight was a foregone conclusion. Casual fans also didnt see this fight as a good consolation fight for the pbf-pac failure.
