Early PPV buys PBF - Victor around 1.75 million buys

I predict 1 billion PPV buys

 

Shaeffer predicted 4 million PPV buys for Floyd-Mosley and it generated 1.45 million buys.

Using Shaeffer's prediction accuracy above, if he predicted 1.8 million for Floyd-Ortiz then this fight would probably have a final PPV buys of 653,000. :rofl

Exactabox's prediction of 666k PPV buys might be the number. :rofl

 

ahem:

That’s an excellent number if this was a fight that matched two huge mega stars, but Mosley might not be a big enough pay per view attraction to help Mayweather attain those kinds of numbers. There’s also a big question as to whether Mayweather in his own right is a big per view star to get those kinds of numbers.


In the fights where Mayweather has done well on PPV, he’s faced a big star across from him such as Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and most recently Juan Manuel Marquez. Mayweather hasn’t brought in huge numbers when matched against an opponent that wasn’t a proven pay per view seller. And for Mosley, the fights that he’s been involved with that have done well on pay per view have had De La Hoya as his opponent. Mosley’s other fights against Fernando Vargas and Winky Wright didn’t have huge numbers.
I think the Mayweather-Mosley fight will do well on pay per view, but nowhere close to three million buys. That’s way too high for this fight. My guess is it will do one and a half million at best, maybe slightly more or slightly less, but I can’t see it even reaching two million. Mosley has been out of boxing for a year, and hasn’t helped himself by being out of the ring for such a long time.

And Mayweather isn’t popular enough on his own to create a huge three million pay per view without a big star like Manny Pacquiao or De La Hoya facing him. Mosley is a great fighter, but he hasn’t built up a huge fan base perhaps because of his modest, unassuming personality. It takes more than that to win over fans. In other countries like England or the Philippines, a fighter can be humble and still be hugely popular, but not in the United States.

It’s totally different here. To become a big star here, you have to be in people’s face, look good, fight well and be other the top with your personality. It helps to have blazing hand speed and incredible power to be sure, but the personality department has a big part of making someone a star.

Over fourteen thousand tickets were sold in the first fifteen minutes for the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight.

 

We got an avy bet going on right now on who does more Floyd or Pac in their respective fights *******. Already one ******* has admitted Floyd is the Pay per view king.

U Nex?

 

At $70 a pop, GBP needs 572,000 PPV buys just to cover Floyd's $40 million guaranteed purse.

$70 x 572,000 = $40 million

How about the purses of other boxers?

Ortiz - 2.5M
Morales - 1M
Alvarez - 1M

 

HBO takes a good % of the PPV revenue aswell don't forget

 

BOXING-INSIDER SAYS THE TOTAL OVER HEAD FOR THIS EVENT WILL BE IN THE BALLPARK OF 62m AND GOES ON TO SAY THAT SPONSERSHIP HAS ALREADY COVERED A TAD OVER 20m SO EVEN IF THIS BOUT COMES IN AT A MODEST 1m PPV BUYS IT WILL STILL MAKE HUGE PROFIT MARGINS.

 

No debate here.

This PPV is really worth $70 and people will be buying it.

Wasn't it schaffer who predicted 3 or 4 million in ppv buys for Floyd vs Shane? He's a little excited. Lol

 

I think people are putting too much stock into the Mosley predicition. That prediction was so outlandish, that I doubt Schaefer truly believed it. But let's assume he did. He predicted Mayweather/Hatton would do a little over 1M and it did a little under 1M. He said Mayweather/Hoya would break the non HW ppv record and said that there was a good possiblity that it would reach 2M buys, and it did 2.4M. He said Mayweather/Marquez would do 1M buys and it ended up doing 1.25M. So that's 3/4. That's a pretty good track record.

Schaeffer is saying between 1.5M and 2M for this fight. I think that's over zealous, but we'll see. 1M to 1.3M seems more likely to me.

 

end thread.

 

Just fluff and bull**** espoused by a "banker promoter".We know all about "honest" bankers by now,do we not?atsch

 

this will do around 1.5, 1.75 would be ridick
