    This will pull in 300,000 plus ppvs, and will be a better fight than most are predicting.


    And if it ends before 12, I'd pick Jones.

    300k.

    Their names on the marquee alone will guarantee an OK buy rate.

    Tyson was selling PPVs many years after his best .

    By reputation alone.

    To be entirely fair, RJJ and Hopkins' last PPV fights (separate of one another of course) didn't do so hot.

    I'd say people in the 300K range are pretty much in the ballpark.

    People who enjoy boxing matches, but not quite junkies yet, they will still all remember the names, Jones Jr and Hopkins. Same with Tyson, Oscar, Tito, Holyfield, etc.

    Their big fights that they have seen before, and all the excitement they provided.

    They dont care if they are still in their primes or not.

    It's the brand name. Like a seal of quality that they should still be good.

    It'll sell OK.

    About as much as the punch rate.

    If they charge 50 bucks or over can't see them doing more than 100k-150k buys. If they are fair with the pricing, at say 30 bucks, it could do over 400k
