If properly promoted, how many PPVs could Mayweather/Hatton sell?

What do you think this buyrate will be, Hugh?

In the UK, I mean

 

Ok. since its Vegas I'll assume 10-20,000 in live gate.

Now PBf drew 375?? or so for Baldo?? There is insufficient PPV evidence for Hatton as most of his big and all USA fights have been non-PPV. SO, all in all, I'm predicting between 700-900 with about 750 being my guess.

Floyd aint the draw and 375 is about the halfway mark. People actually like Hatton as a human being and All the Brits wont be able to travel so 750 gets my estimate.


It's the biggest test/fight of either man's career to date:good

 

I say a cool mill. Just b/c the promotion on 24/7 will be hilarious they will dog ugg pugg hatton out. He is too easy to crack on. Hatton is a little **** talker himself so he will amuse the british.

 

if its on on sky box office in england it will be around 15 quid as usual.It does not matter if people england don't have sky because if they want to see the fight they will go to the pub nad watch it. Don't know how much it costs on hbo.

 

HBO only, about 450k, which is VERY high for an HBO PPV still. A lot of fans will buy it, but I suspect a lot of casual fans will avoid it because both PBF and Hatton have been rather dull to watch in most of their recent fights.

 

If it is promoted right the fight could do over 500k buys in the U.S. and over 150k buys in England. I wouldn't be suprised if we saw it do 700,000.

 

I think you mean 500,000-700,000 buys because $500k-$700k is what 100,000-140,000 people .

 

a lot

 

America alone I'd say 900,000. Between England and America I'd say over 2 million.

 

at least 1mil worldwide...

 

In my opinion, if properly promoted, and taking the total worldwide audience and networks showing the fight (HBO, SKY, etc.) I'd say it can get upwards of 1,000,000. Mayweather may not be a Tyson but he can still draw buys, the Baldomir fight shows that. His fight with Hoya wasn't a dud either, so people would watch him again.

So that covers a sizeable amount of the American audience. Hatton handles the U.K. side of things, and proper promotion brings in the casuals.

 

What's the record for buys? If promoted it could break the record.

 

aint breaking dlh vs pbf cuz they hold the record period. that includes hw and non HW

 

Mayweather isn't a draw and Hatton is English. This fight won't do that well. I'd imagine, with 24/7 and a LOT of adverts, it'd do about 550,000.

As big as this fight is for us hardcore fans, it's unlikely to grab the average American's attention.

 

You may be right about the fight not pasing Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr but conedering Hatton's popuarity. If properly promoted I think it has a chance.
