    If Cañelo/Trout can only generate 1.1 Million viewers their last fight and its free how the **** can this PPV get that number at maybe $60 a pop? Guerrero has almost zero following and Showtime is like 8-9 less subscriber than HBO and I doubt Floyd can carry it all by himself with his boring ass style. Even if makes himself a fool by drinking his own **** ala JMM and eat his poop in "All Access" no way this fight breaks 1.1 Million.

    yep, about 800k tops I reckon. Not too much hype about this fight.

    You don't need to be a Showtime subscriber to order a PPV.

    Might not, but I'm sure you weren't expecting Ortiz PPV to reach a million either.

    There seems to be very little hype for this fight. It seems like this fight might do some disappointing numbers but we'll see.

    I honestly thought the Floyd Ortiz would do huge number. I ordered that one to be honest though I'm a Floyd hater.

    Purely because of the date and the fact it's Mayweather it'll break 1.1, won't be higher than 1.3. Some idiot will come out with a ridiculously low number like 550k and someone else will say 1.7.

    If this fight is going into the cinemas, it will surely hit 1M. It's like 1 ppv per person

    This fight has been marketed differently than the PPVs in recent years. Obviously the All Access shows aren't generating the buzz that 24/7 is known for. But that show is targeted to boxing fans, who are much more likely to buy the PPV than the general public.

    Floyd and the fight were promoted pretty heavily during the Final Four and the entire tournament leading up to it. His halftime interview was likely seen by millions. Floyd was also featured in a recent Sports Illustrated.

    I'd say it generates a lot of butts in seats at sports bars, but 1 million is a pretty optimistic number.
