What's the greatest flop in boxing PPV history???

The 4 aborted Rahman-Brittley fights.

The pay-per-view numbers from Klitschko-Williams amounted to a disappointing 120,000 buys, according to HBO. At $50 a buy, that sum probably barely took care of the fighters' purses. There's been talk of a heavyweight tournament to establish a single champion, but promoter Don King controls three of the champs - Byrd, Ruiz and Brewster - and the popular opinion is that he's trying to protect his fighters. But those alarming pay-per-view numbers for a heavyweight title fight should consolidate efforts in the industry to correct the situation, lest everyone loses in the long run. It also adds fuel to the fire that a compelling heavyweight fight is needed, and Klitschko-Lewis fits the bill.

 

Most of Roy Jones's PPV fights after Toney and before Jones did poorly.

 

Barrera/Fana did very bad. About 75,000 I think.

 

Who cares. It's a great fight with 2 future hall of famers.

 

I think the PBF Baldimor fight did pretty bad.

 

casamayor vs marquez should be a great fight, I can't understand all the abuse its getting.

both fighters are proven, and are technically great boxers, i expect marquez to be more of the pressure fighters, and casamyor being the expert boxer that he is to use his jab and try to control the pace of the fight.

should be great, shame that its not on in the u.k

 

i dont understand it either. JMM and Casa r 2 of the best fighters in the past ten years.

 

I believe my Mexican cousins will keep JMM/Casa from being a flop on that scale.

To answer your question, though, that Holyfield/Oquendo PPV from 2006 was reportedly a complete flop.

 

i been seeing mad commercials for it i dont think its going to do that bad it will probly do pretty good actually

 

i have seen JMM/CASA commericals on ESPN thats pretty damn exciting

 

It did like 325k.

Not bad.

 

It did over 300k

 

You Americans are obsessed with meaningless ****. Who cares how many people HAVE the $50 to pay to watch the fight. Like someone says; two future hall of famers dukein it out doing thier thing. Enough said.

 

1. Mayweather/Baldimor
2. Jones/Tarver III
3. Lewis/Holyfield I
4. Mayweather/ DLH

...now when you say flop, do you mean did shitty sales or do u mean was just a pathetic fight?
