Ellerbe: Mayweather vs. Mosley does 1.4 million buys

I am merely correcting you on your mistake.


Quite a few set of people thought this fight could do more than 1.5

I thought it would do 1.5-2 if not break 2.

This was the biggest fight since Mayweather-DLH, I don't see why it's wrong for people to assume it would do so good.

Then again, Mosley for whatever reason has failed to be a PPV draw, despite his skills and wins.

 

False, as you know.

1. NeckBreaknAiken -- "I think it does more than 2 Million. Somewhere around 2.4 to 2.6." (i.e., record breaking)

2. SuperFloyd -- 3M++

After that, I just stopped. No need to rub your face in it.

You don't seem to get it: People were talking more openly about records being broken in the weeks and months long before the bad ticket sale report came back in.

That is, I went out of my way to try to give you the most favorable circumstances (people being more delusional well-before Steve Kim's report came back), and I still rather easily found the information I told you I saw.

In other words, I deliberately used a smaller, less-favorable sampling of posts based upon the dates involved and I showed exactly what I wanted to show.

Get it?

Try smaller targets, David. Goliath too big for you.

And not prepared to continue to indulge your ineptness.

 

Well done! :happy

 

This is a massive number. Mayweather's name will ring through history as a true spectacle of physical skill and as one of the most exciting athletes to engage in athletics since the closure of the Colosseum.

 

Don't blame Mosley for this.

It's a simple case of some of you overrating PBF's drawing abilities!

 

Shane isn't a big draw, he's a good name though. He won't draw on his own, that's for damn sure.

People are forgetting the Mexican/Latino angle of the whole deal though.. Mosley vs Vargas drew decent numbers.. Shane a good name, against a good name Mexican fighter. Thus, numbers.

If there was another big time Mexican welterweight draw out there, that'd be where the money is.. but there isn't.

No matter what you say Pac isn't the draw in the US that Floyd is, but that's not a knock on Pac.. little guy still draws great numbers and makes big money. You all act like that's a bad thing.

 

good numbers

 

old mosley figures. and cotto-marg - 450k. mosley-marg- not on PPV

 

So why do you think Cotto vs Margarito was on PPV but Mosley vs Margarito wasn't?

Surely if Mosley had his own ppv market like Cotto has it would have been?

Even Cotto's fight with a bum like Jennings was part of a double header on ppv, the reason for that is he has his own fanbase that will pay to watch him on PPV, Shane Mosley doesn't.

Think about it, it's not hard to get your head around and it's nothing to do with what Mayweather has said either, I can't believe this is going straight over your head.

 

Your a moron. This is the biggest ppv event of the year unless Mayweather fights again. Pac would need to fight Godzilla to put up this kind of number without Numero Uno, the top dog, Floyd Money Mayweather.

 

I don't see many people in here being critical of Mayweather. Some are arguing that the PPV total is a failure and a disappointment and based on what Schaefer said, they are right. If the total number was close to 2MM, Schaefer wouldn't have looked like as big of a d-bag. 1.4MM is lower than most expected, many because of what Schaefer was predicting, so we can't really sit here and praise the number.

With that being said, Mayweather now has 2 fights higher than anything Pacquiao has done and that should validate his status as the biggest draw in boxing.

 

So Cotto-Judah does 225k and Mosley-Vargas (his last ppv fight before Cotto/May) does 420k and apparently Cotto is a ppv attraction, Mosley is not

**** sake. Listen to your boyfriend. "men lie, women lie, numbers dont lie".

 

1.4 is a great number. I thought this fight would do around 1.5 or so myself. Add to the fact he did this with a guy who can't sell at all and it's even more impressive. He was just involved in the second highest selling non-heavyweight PPV in history and it's a disappointment? Nobody honestly believed this fight would do 3 or 4 million buys. You Mayweather haters are honestly some of the most pathetic people on the planet. How can you hate a person so much? Especially someone that you've most likely never met? I hope you guys honestly pay attention to how you sound, because you sound like spurned women on this site. I'd honestly be embarrassed if I were you.
