HBO : Mayweather-Marquez Hits 1 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

It's got to help. People were no doubt happy to see promoters even trying to make a good undercard. We've seen some atrocious ones in recent PPV's.

 

It's BEYOND impressive considering Pac did $1.2 million fighting none other than cash KING DLH when people were saying "Economy dawg" whenever any Mayweather fan brought up that it didn't even do HALF of what Mayweather/DLH did.

 

I know that, that's what my post was referred to.

 

If it did 1 million it did INCREDIBLE. 1 million + is Oscar type PPVs.

If it did 700,000+ it is GREAT!

500,000+ is also an accomplishment.

 

Great undercard yes but only hardcore fans care about them. I was at a sports bar and while the undercard was going only a handful of people were watching mind you I live in Houston and a Houston fighter was on the undercard in Rocky but when the main event started everyone watched that.

 

Excellent post. This post will burn the haters up.:yep

 

Yeah true, I'm glad it satisfies us hardcore fans, an attracts casual fans as well with the main event. It was nice after some recent undercard flops!

 

Floyd sure proved he is a draw. Gotta love or hate the guy's arrogance, but in any case, he sure knows how to play business.

Floyd/Shane I see at least 70/30. Floyd aint agreeing to anything lower than his 70% probably.

Floyd/Pac gotta be 60/40 now, at least 60% for Floyd.

 

It's bad that Scar is a Pacfan, and has to still put some of them in their place! LOL

I don't won't to generalize all Pac fans, cause some I get along with well, and act nothing like clowns such as Buxzer.

Then we also have the Mexican equivalents of simple minded Pac fans such as UliUli and Freddy Wak. Then there is one Puerto Rican, the clown Bazooka! lol

Whats up Dan, 1 million buys, does that mean the beard is coming off?

I did say I would do it. But I also said I would do it if ESPN provided the platform. I wouldn't want to lose it without the Freaks being able to see I am a man of my word.

You know what, this is going to give PBF even a bigger head, if that's even possible. And this is going to give his haters even more reason to hate him.

 

Hell that's good for them, the recession must have passed them buy....:rofl:rofl

My Cousin bought it and he ain't Mexican...

 

good numbers its a pity the fight was boring like most mayweather fights

 

Yo.....The economy is still bad but Floyd proved he can sell. If the economy was what it was 2 yrs ago believe the PPV #'s would have been 1.6 mill for Floyd/JMM. Things are a little better now but we still have to see how PAC vs Cotto does to see who is a bigger draw at present. Floyd deserves to be considered the bigger draw at the moment b/c of how well his fight did, but to be fair.....PAC vs Cotto still has a chance to clear the picture up.
