Do you think it will have flopped? When i watched the fight i noticed that the undercards (even first drop to the main event) had bugger all seats filled? Will this reflect the PPV sales? Of my 10 closest boxing mates, only 1 of them paid for the PPV, the rest of us went to the casino to watch it for free... How do you think "The Moment 2" does? #1 rumoured to sell under 900k with a stacked card and much more hype/build up.
Yeah, i just cant see that happening. - The amount of last minute hype? - The massive $80 price tag. - The amount of empty seats prior to the main event. - The lack of blockbuster undercard fights. - The amount of genuine boxing fans who weren't interested in a rematch. I can see what you mean about how the first fight could have generated hype for the 2nd fight, as expected, but i haven't seen anything in the last 2 months to prove that to be true? The fact that Floyd said Maidana is a B-Class fighter spells it out really...
It was the shittiest big card in a long time, I can't honestly think of a worse one, so I'm guessing the numbers will reflect that. It will probably be FLoyd's lowest rated post-DLH PPV !
I think you are spot on. People can say what they want about this being a rematch & how rematches bring more attraction but the undercard will have a big effect. I think if it was stacked like last time it would have semi-justified the price tag. Resulting in 1million + PPV. However, without the card, i just dont see high numbers happening. I believe this will be the case.
i hope very low, if floyd dont fight pacquiao next i will never pay for another floyd fight again, and i boycotted this one and will incourage everybody to do so.what floyd is doing is unexceptable.
The 1st one did less than a mil why would the 2nd do over ? People can't be that stupid ..I see between 700-800 but im sure those numbers will never get released and Ezpinoza will come and do damage control
