    hbo controls the ppv numbers..

    friend in the NSAC said it wasn't really that packed for the fight.

    It sold well in the theaters and that's a good thing.

    A low PPV count for fights as big as this can only push harder towards 'THE' fight we want to see :D

    it produced a memorable KO and a result i heard argued by non boxing fans for several days

    a significant fight and an interesting one

    The fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz last month was supposed to have brought in huge numbers on pay per view, according to their promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions.

    Schaefer predicted the fight would bring in between 1.4 million to 1.7 million PPV buys. However, Steve Kim is reporting that the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Victor Ortiz fight brought in only 850,000 PPV buys, which is rather sad given the popularity of Floyd Mayweather Jr and all the hype and marketing that went into the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Victor Ortiz fight. HBO put together one of their 24/7 series for this fight, and it was advertised constantly on cable. If 850,000 is the best it brought in with all that marketing than it is truly sad.

    Kim said this on his twitter: “I’ve heard as low as 850,000. Still no PPV figures released for the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Victor Ortiz yet, which is very telling.”

    This isn’t good, is it? If all Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Victor Ortiz brought in was a paltry 850,000 for this fight, it’s going to put Floyd Mayweather Jr in a bad bargaining position with Manny Pacquiao, if he ever decides to fight him. With the exception of his fight against Joshua Clottey last year, which brought in only 700,000 PPV buys, Pacquiao has been selling over 1 million PPV buys for each of his fights since then.

    It will be hard for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to ask for equal footing in the bargaining table if he’s bringing in low figures like that against a fighter as well known as Victor Ortiz is with the casual boxing fans. It could be the economy in addition to the high price of the Floyd Mayweather Jr – Victor Ortiz card scared away a lot of boxing fans from buying the fight. Or it could be they just saw it as a hopeless mismatch and figured Victor Ortiz didn’t have a chance and why pay to see a mismatch?

    You mad? :think 850k is NOT a successful event for Floyd. Nor do I believe those are the numbers based on then knowing 300 ppv buys came in on Saturday following the contraversail ending. That would mean the event only did around 600k on fight night. So something doesn't seem right..

    If those numbers are true then Floyd has done some MAJOR damage to his "brand" by not fighting Manny and all the comments and actions he used to dodge him. Which would leave Pac as the #1 p4p fighter and ppv draw in the US.
