Floyd-Ricky PPV numbers

750,000

 

450-500k

 

Dont forget that DLH/Mayweather wasnt PPV in the UK, this will be and there are a LOT of Hatton fans who will buy it.

 

indeed, and its thanks to the contender that we have it - it showed how seeing boxers outside the ring can promote and increase the value of what they do inside it. It was a smart move to do a 'contender-esque show' to bump up the PPV numbers. I wish they did it for all the big fights

 

Somewhere in the one million mark. A lot of people will buy the fight in USA and a shitload of people will buy it in the UK i presume.

 

I actually think 1 million buys is doable for this fight.

With the PPV here and overseas - the help of 24/7 - Dancing with the stars - Golden Boy Promotions - Big Name Fighters - and it being the end of the year - I think it'll do pretty good.

This has been a great year for boxing - Mayweather has become a household name - even to the least casual fight fan. So it should do over 1 million.

 

True, I even ask a British/American(my customer) who's planning to visit Manchester about Hatton & he doesn't even know who hatton was. Hatton hasn't have any PPV yet in the US. Outside of DLH, PBF tops 360K PPV buys. The 2M who saw DLH-PBF were mostly felt robbed of their hard earned money. At work I ask my all customers if they enjoy PBF-DLH, nobody have the possitive response. 24/7 helps coz everyone wants to see PBF lose. Even my relatives who normally order PPVs skipping this one. My cousin is ordering this, but we are one of those diehards included in the 350-400K regular PPV buyers. I'm trying to get feedback from my customer & I don't see the same Hype as the DLH fight. 450-500 buys for me. I'll be surprise if it get passed the 700K mark.

 

sky are expecting 400'000 buys in britain alone for a fight that starts here at 4am.

i read de la hoya estimating 1.5m just in american buys.

 

1 million to 1.5 million ppv buys.

 

Who's the undercard?

 

i say 1.7

 

i hate what PPV has done to the sport.

hatton v mayweather should really have 20 to 30 million americans watching it instead of the paltry numbers ppv brings in.

ppv means boxing becomes a hardcore minority sport, yet the contender shows that the fans are out there given the chance.

no different in the uk with warren who would sell his tv rights to the shopping channel if they offerd him more money.

only germany shows live boxing and there big fights live on the main broadcasting channels free to air, and it must be financially feasible given that they outbid american promoters time and time again.

just wish cbs/abc/bbc/itv would fund boxing the way they throw money at other mainstream sports.

unrealistic i know but i remember when this was the case and boxing in the uk and usa was huge , people like mancini were everyday superstars ,known and recognised throughout america .

 

I read that its been predicted that around 400,000 people in the UK alone are ordering it on Sky Box Office

 

20-30 million watching Hatton/Mayweather!? This isn't the superbowl.
