    Lmao! Man you THAT shook you couldn't even quote me this time! :lol:

    USA PPV record - De La Hoya vs Mayweather
    UK PPV record - Mayweather vs Hatton

    Common denominator : Floyd Mayweather! :good

    Manny Pacquiao: No where to be seen :hi:

    Whatever the figures are, good, bad or ugly we will find out! Until then pull your skirt up Pactart! :rofl:rofl

    That must be one ****ed up system if they need to extrapolate numbers and base on other similar fights.

    How complicated can it be? All they need to do is add up all the orders booked in all systems, and those data I assume are all electronic..:patsch

    based on the underlined part, it's understandable that showtime had that much of delay with the figure. HBO meanwhile is more experienced already.

    You mean, people watched ODLH vs Floyd because they wanna see Floyd and NOT De La Hoya? :rofl

    And UK watched Floyd vs Hatton because they wanna see Floyd and NOT Hatton? :lol:

    pacquiao-clottey was without a 24/7 series and heavy promotions and hype that comes from a floyd fight though. basically the 700k was all pacquiao selling power fighting an unknown african fighter.

    disagree.. floyd played the villain really hard against oscar and hatton who had the biggest following in their respective countries. people came to see oscar win and people came to see hatton win. floyd played a big part with all his theatrics but is not the sole reason.

    As I have said before I dont know what the numbers are, maybe they are bad? Who knows at the moment its nothing more than speculation and hope on some posters behalf!

    When we get the official number and HBO/GBP will give us the official number unlike Top Rank then we can argue about it.

    All these Pactarts running around gloating will be crying into their pillows if next week we find out it did 1.3 Million, (me personally I dont care much)

    PPV sales do not create a good fighter or good match ups :good

    Who said Floyd was the sole reason for those figures? I'm from the UK so I'm fully aware of Floyds popularity over here.

    The fact is he IS popular whether people like it or not he can sell PPV like no other at the moment.

    Is he the PPV GOAT nope that probably goes to Tyson or Oscar but to say he is NOT a PPV star is stupid when the facts say otherwise!

    Interesting you bring this up. How many times since has Mayweather managed to match that number or come anywhere close?

    Neither fighter before or after have come anywhere near that number.

    The only chance I see of Floyd doing that kind of number is with Pacquiao or maybe with Canelo in a few years time.

    I dont know where you heard that from because Primetime doesn't release PPV numbers. Only sky did!
