I'm Confused: Floyd vs JMM sells More Than Floyd vs Hatton Does?

The reason why it did 2.4 million is because Floyd made the casual fan once again interested in sport or at least the fight itself.


The effort mayweather put on in generating interest to the American public was second to none, and would be stupid to under estimate it. His energy at press conferences as long with his total well planned disrespect to Oscar and his BRAVADO of flashing the money, cars and jewels were what drove the audience to A. Watch this guy fight, B Watch this guy get his ass kicked.

Either way, Mayweather did something to the sport that many people like to forget. He gave it once again a FACE especially to the causal fans of America.

 

I never said they didn't. Show me where I said that. All I said is that MOST Latinos, especially in the South West would not buy PBF vs Mosley, or two black fighter vs each other.

Hispanics are very emotional people, and they buy and support fights and fighters based on emotion.

And PBF vs Mosley, Hispnics don't have that emotional investment.

WhyTF would they spend $50 of their hard earned dollars on two black dudes fighting, especially when one of those black dudes fights nothing like a stereo typical Mexican?

 

So because every latino you know, likes Mosley, that means the Latinos in America like Mosley to.

Your thinking is pathetic at its best.atschatschatschatsch

 

everyone he fights is a bum though right???? hypocrite

 

Yesterday when I noticed you Scar and Pimp C were on at about 8 am all the way until about 7 in the evening with out missing a beat, now if you had a job you would have had to leave to get back home which didnt happen you all were here all day, Pimp C didnt want to talk about it, Scar tried to put spin on it, I am just asking to see if your real enough to answer with the truth.

 

well put! :good

 

Do you have down syndrome? I mean seriously I live in america *****, and yes Mosley is respected by every Latino I know didnt say all of them in america but every one I know, and those are teh same who do not like Floyd.:hey

 

Something doesn't sound right. I watched this in the movie theaters and it had atleast 30 people there. How much you wanna bet they counted each ticket as a buy. The MGM grand wasn't even sold out. It still had 12,000 tickets. So how did this push a million buys. I was born at night not last night hbo.

 

It's not that simple dude.

Maywether has fought the right opponent everytime.

How many millions did PBF do with Judah, Baldomir and Brusseles?

Mayweather has not fought the best everytime, he has fought the one that would generate large PPV #s.

Like I said, Mosley vs Mayweather would be lucky to crack 750K buys.

 

I do college credits online, and I live in a small town, so there's no cable or verizon for internet. So I work with a guy on the side sometimes to install wireless internet.

My main job is school and getting into the navy which has been an ongoing thing since March.

 

mayweather cotto....2 mil

 

No he didnt say that, he just said he cant get a campos in there and sell PPV, he cant you know this recently he hasnt fought bums he fought fighters who have a following and I wonder why? :think

But in fighting those guys who had a following he hand selected those who were the least threat to him.....Remember his entire game plan in the Oscar fight was to get to the late rounds in which Oscar tends to get tired, let him get in there with a full fledged welter weight that doesnt tire that isnt old and that can fight thats all the fans want is for Floyd to start fighting the best in his divison

 

Brussles was not PPV.


Let's look at the facts.


Marquez last two PPVs did 400k and 100k (Pac 2 and Casamayor)

Now he doubles that in 1 PPV in Mayweather. But he was the draw.




Let's look at Hatton

Did not have a PPV in the USA before this. Hits 920k or so with Mayweather. Record PPV in UK.

In his fight with Pac he failed to reach this point.


Now let's look at DLH.

Mayweather - DLH 2.4 Million Buys

Last 3 PPVs before Mayweather were

Mayorga, Hopkins, Sturm


Mayorga-DLH - 935,000

Hopkins - DLH - 1 Million

Sturm - DLH - 380,000.

DLH's last 3 PPVs do not equal what he did with Mayweather.

Yet none of the last fighters Mayweather fought had ever been on such successful PPVs before but it was them that did the drawing.


And stop acting like Mayweather fought a nobody it wouldn't be this high.

of course it wouldn't be this high! Not even DLH could draw great if he didn't have a strong B side.

His best PPV against someone not worthy of PPV was Javier Castillejo that did 400k.

So please stop acting like DLH was some king of PPV when he himself needed a strong B side to do great.

 

Your going to the military with Zelenoff:hey So how do you live I mean side jobs cant possibly pay your rent electric phone internet etc... you still live at home?

 

The Staples center wasn't sold out when Oscar fought Mosley, but I think it did like 850K buys.

THE STAPLES CENTER, OScar's HOMETOWN!!!

Because ticket sales and PPV buys DO NOT GO HAND IN HAND.
