1.7- 2.0 million seems like a pragmatic estimation. You could get an idea that this one would do very well in the PPV #'s just by the hype that was surrounding the fight during weigh-in. They had over 12,000 people in the arena just to see that. Compare that to 300 people that saw Ali weigh in for his title shot against Liston. Wow, have times changed.
Even at 2 Million Showtime is almost break-even. Paying and guaranteeing Floyd that amount of money is boneheaded. Who's next for him that can generate big PPV? Garcia? No fokking way. Even if Garcia's dad eat sh|t and drink pee during the buildup it won't generate big numbers. Khan? Goodluck. He's been exposed. Only two guys left that can help Floyd and Sho. Pac and GGG. Pac is the easy fight. He's embarrass that midget.
