    No agenda here, but I'm skeptical that this will do a big number.

    So what number of buys would you consider a success for this PPV?

    They are already on record stating that 200 thousand buys will be considered a success-I believe this fight will kick in with the fight freaks and do 250-300 thousand buys.:thumbsup

    Considering they've never been on PPV before. I'd say anything over 100k should be considered a success.

    People hoping for +400k buys are day dreaming.

    pac did 300k in his last non floyd ppv fight.

    this cant do anything close to that, so it should do 50 - 80k

    I think they're hoping between 300 and 450k.
    It's already a sure thing they're gonna make a healthy profit on this one.

    Cotto/Martinez and Canelo/Angulo did 350K, so if Golovkin can do over 300K it would be a good result considering it's his first PPV. If he does 350K or over it would be an amazing result.
