Floyd making 40 million against Mosley

If he does good for him :thumbsup

 

Im not going of the deep end BUT my honest opinion is that besides Oscar there arent many Latinos that sell on PPV. I just wanted you to show me stats. You dont have to. Latinos may well be the ones buying the PPV but its for the other guy these days. Im pointing out that PBF/JMM will sell a whole lot more than Victor Ortiz/JMM you know.

 

Its the casual fan that makes up more of the PPV market.
I can ask 100 Latino casual fans what they think of Victor Ortiz and only a handful would even have a clue who he might be.

Now, if you would to say that Margarito would meet JMM at a catchweight at Staples center, I think that fight would sell more PPV than Pacquiao-Clottey.

Hell, Pacquiao-Ortiz would sell more than Pacquiao-Clottey, simply for the fact that Ortiz is Latino.

 

I believe him but only if Mosley is giving him his share as well. Seems a little high otherwise.

 

40 mill? Please....

 

Bear in mind that there are reports that one of the many reasons why Floyd is hessitant on signing is why his guaranteed money is only 8 million compare to 25 million against Pacquiao. Usually add 40 - 50% more of the guaranteed money if the PPV reaches more than a million, and the gates + sponsors do well.

So 40 million is quite a stretch from 8-12 million.

 

NOBODY cares about Clottey but the hard core fans. Margacheato is a big story line so thats why that would sell. Pac/Mosely or Pac/Floyd are the biggest selling fights right now. Its about who the best fighters are. Of course Latinos have been buying the most lately, Oscars been the biggest thing since sliced bread the last 10 years. Im saying it doesnt matter if the Fighters Latino or not as long as they're great and have a great dance partner. If Jones and B-hop would have fought i their prime it would have been huge(when Roy was #1 and Hops was top 5 p4p). Tyson/Lewis was huge.

 

true. american fans aren't as loyal to boxing as other nationalities and inflation and added publicity from previous fights can contribute to the discretion between pac vs jmm and floyd vs jmm

 

The fight is making more than 1 million. He made more by dancing with Marquez. Mosley - Floyd is a lot bigger. I think it's going to make at least 1.5 million

 

i think you're underestimating the drawing power of floyd mayweather. the guy has promoted himself very well, and every fight he's in seems to do well now with PPV sales. there's a reason why the marquez fight was supposed to do crap sales in many boxing experts opinions, and that's because only one boxer was a star, and that's floyd, while marquez does crap PPV sales, a bit like mosley in a way, but what the experts didn't realise is how big of a star floyd has become. now, that's not the case, we all know now, and i believe the fight will do atleast 1.5 million. it'll be interesting to see the results if the fight does actually happen.

 

It doesn't matter if he earns that much on this fight against Shane. I think Floyd should get Mosley credit for the whole thing if ever he get 40 million or whatever. It means that boxing fans only want to see him fight and, again, expect to defeated by real tough opponents like Sugar Shane. Everyone knew Floyd Mayweather realized this scenario after he decided to be girlish on a Pac encounter. What $$$ could he expect if he chooses to fight the great Matthew Hatton?

 

Crappolla......No one is saying Marquez draws better than Mayweather, but certainly Marquez had alot to do with the sucess of the promotion with Mayweather.......

Mayweather-Marquez did over 1 million buys......had you substituted say a Juan Diaz or Amir Khan instead of JMM for Mayweather's comeback fight, and I would guarantee you the fight would not have done even 300K buys.......

All these fighters today need a solid dance partner to sell the buys......Even DLH needed that.....the only fighter in recent memory who did'nt was Mike Tyson.

 

$40 million is predicting a bit too high, more like 20-25 million. Unless they are trying to exploit Floyds large fanbase here in the UK and make it PPV instead of free on Sky Sports.

 

ok then, so why was the marquez-mayweather considered before the fight to do crap sales by the boxing experts? that's because the opponent was marquez, so don't make out like marquez is some sort of draw that produced over half the sales, because trust me the chances of that were very slim, even though he's mexican, which are great boxing fans. now regarding your comment every fight needs a solid fighter to produce sales isn't actually the case when one fighter is a huge draw. the likes of oscar and tyson could sell out fighting mediocre opponents because of their drawing power alone, it seems even with floyd's unlikable character is he has that huge drawing power, but with two great fighters, then you get a momentous results, which the pac-floyd fight will do. the sales of the marquez fight shocked everybody, so who takes that claim, a guy who can't seem to get past 300k in sales, or the fighter who seems to average a million sales in his last few fights?

 

You can't be objective about **** can you?


I think everyone with a brain knows he'll make at leat what he made for Marquez ($20) and possibly a little more (close to 25-30).


So the exaggeration is probably a little worse on your end.
