    Not only did he buy it, Mayweather shattered the poor man's glass mind when he ko'd Ortiz. I can just imagine Slugger curled in a ball speaking gibberish about trees and lions for at least an hour after the knockout.

    what happened to the at least 1.3M PPVs and the 300k post-fight PPV buys? did 450k buyers successfully made a refund?

    They still have not counted the theater numbers.

    They did that in the JMM fight.

    One ticket = 1 PPV number

    As a Mayweather fan I'll be happy if this PPV and Pacquaio's upcoming PPV do poorly, because we'll get to see the fight

    BUT you have to take anything Steve Kim says with a huge dallop of salt, he's hated Mayweather for years, either that or (and more likely) he's in Arum's back pocket

    Theater sales do not count towards PPV. It is part of closed circuit revenue.

    It's not really a matter of knowledge, more of bias and he's been 1 of Mayweather's biggest critics and been unbalanced

    Again though I hope both fights bomb, so we get the big 1, I'll still buy both though

    I'm with you.

    Huge PPV numbers only fuel egos and make mega fights less probable.

    I knew this fight didnt do huge numberrs. It's kinda ****ing obvious.. Victor Ortiz is not a name . It's like Floyd fighting Baldomir. The main event is what sells, and this thing had 0 hype for good reason.

    Heard this morning that PPV buys for Mayweather could be as low as 850k. How possible is the statement?

    From what I have been told by Schaefer and HBO that is preposterous. Much higher.
