May vs Berto will do at least 1 million buys on ppv

I'm curious to see what happens if this fight tanks at the box office and on ppv. Considering the backlash from the Pacquiao fight that is very possible. Suppose the ppv's are less than 500K or something like that. Will the networks continue to throw money at Floyd? I don't buy that last fight thing for one second, that is just a storyline to get people to buy the fight. After this he is a free agent and I'm sure he will be right on the phone with Manny trying to arrange another fight. How can he turn down that kind of money?

 

I just don't see it happening. Too many negative factors to hurt this fight.
- no sufficient enough time to promote
- people still very ****ed about may/pac (no action, expensive)
- it's 75$
- opponent is no name
- negative media suffocating this fight & Berto

All of this spells disaster.

 

Spot on 100% this is a friendly fight, no needle, no one expects Berto to do anything, isnt Floyds last fight. This I reckon will be just as poor in numbers as it is in the ring.

Ill record the fight and watch it when i get the chance not even worth staying up for in the UK

 

Yup your right people pay to see him lose no-one expects him to lose this one so a very large audience could be uninterested. Berto isnt anywer near a big name as Maidana or Guererro at least in europe anyway. Groves numbers in the UK in his last two fights have been very underwhelming. I also didnt hear a single person request that this fight is made before hand not a single fan or pro and people were very suprised and annoyed and in disbelief when the rumours came out it was Berto

 

Its free for me i wont be ordering anything just recording it and prob watch it the next day.

 

The media and audience collectively condemned the Pac fight as phoop, and complained about being snookered.

That fight actually hurts more than it helps Floyd's chances at selling this fight.

 

As much as I hate to say this, you'll be surprised how much this fight is going to make. The publicity the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight brought is like nothing the sport has ever seen. Mayweather could fight you or I next and he's still selling big. I'll be genuinely shocked if this fight makes anything less than 1 million in PPV buys.

 

More intriguingly are there people who genuinely believe this will be his last fight? That he is going to retire on 49-0?

I'm assuming this won't be PPV over here in UK, I wouldn't pay for it if it was. Definitely stay up to watch it though. Regularly stay up watching considerably less interesting fights!

 

You may very well be correct.Mayweather does have a winning box office record.

 

Not a chance in hell it will be PPV in UK if it is it would flop severely
