Will Mayweather-Mosley reach 3 million PPV buys?

NO TEST, NO FIGHT! I agree with FLOYD. But I think it should be random testing until 3 days before the fight. Don’t give MANNY any chance to juice up.

It will do close to 2 million ppvs

MAY-MOS WONT’T REACH 3MM, TOPS 1MM

Who are u kidding ???? Floyd is fighting someone who got beat
by Cotto. And WE ALL KNOW who beat Cotto !! So whats the f*ng
BIG DEAL ??? WAKE UP ! Don try to fool yourself ! Watch
the REAL THING, PACMAN vs CLOTTEY !!

Even if Floyd beat Shane Mosley, and Pacquiao very few people here would regard him as one of the top ten greatest of all-time or the greatest of this era. So what’s the point?

I’m not going to waste my money on an over hyped up bout like this. I’m not a fool, Floyd cannot provide a boxing performance worthy of PPV money. This should be aired free on cable.

this is a running shoulder roll running shoulder roll and running at all rounds on all night its is so boring boring boring fight might watch it on free telecast

@boxingfan#1 & chadwick:

Regarding Gatti and ODLH…I stand corrected…

@chadwick–LOL…I won’t argue with about Gatti’s ability or his struggles with the “great” Mickey Ward. My point was the fight was relevant to Floyd, at the time. And it was not a pick me fight. It was against the Champion, with the bigger name, who he was in line to face.

I will agree that since SSM’s losses to Forest, Wright, and Cotto, reveal he has a problem with boxers, Floyd has the advantage, in that area.

But, as far as his struggle with Mayorga…Mayorga’s a wild man. And he came into the fight at about 170. He’s a bum, IMO, but, Mayorga put up a fight, too. So, getting the KO early, might’ve been tougher for SSM, at this stage in his career. But, he still did so, in impressive fashion.

At 33 (PBF) and 38 (SSM), age has taken a bit of a toll, on both of these guys.

But, IMO, he is either Floyd’s Frazier or his Foreman, right now, just on the basis of his speed, power, and experience. The latter 2 of these things, favor Shane.

Make no mistake, this is a fighter capable of taking Floyd’s head off. And he’s looking to do so too. I’m not trying to make it more than what it is. SSM, is a live dog, who’s gonna be on Floyd’s heels, the whole night, for pride’s sake, if nothing else. And unlike Foreman, he won’t be “rope-a-doped” and KO’d.

But, obviously, the odds are in favor of the man who’s 40-0. So, maybe that’s why folks, who aren’t just hating, don’t see this as a ‘defining’ fight, for Floyd.

I hope this fight would not be cancelled for any reason. this would be a good fight and could be a record for PPV.

@kray, well it seems we disagree. First, as far as Gatti is concerned I really don’t give a rat’s ass what the “media” called it. Superfight, or whatever. Gatti WAS always nothing more than a C fighter, and just because Mayweather said so. Who else would have beasten him? How about DLH who was the first one to make it “look easy”. No, I am sorry. Fighting Gatti, the man who had life and death wars with um, what’s his name…… oh right, now I remember. life and death WARS with tha tuture hall of famer (drum roll please) Mickey Ward (and the crowd goes wild).

As to my definition of a “defining fight”. No u don;t have to struggle or come back from a loss or even have a war in the ring. That is not the definition of a defining fight. But you DO have to fight a guy who is also tearing thru the opposition, someone who, right or wrong, brings the odds downto a pick em fight. Now I agree it is not Floyd’s fault if there are no fightsrs out there in his era and weight class that can bring an even odds fight to the table. It is not his fault if he is head and shoulders against all the current opposition so there is not chance for him to fight someone at his own skill level becasue no one else is anywhere near his level. When Clay beat Liston, he made it look easy, yet that fight defined him because he was supposed to get slaughtered. When later on, as Ali, he KO’d Foreman, he again made it look easy. But he took a fight against a monster who had just utterly destroyed the two fighters who beat him. A defining fight does not mean one has to struggle or even make it a close fight. But it is a fight that is expected to be a challenge. I thought the Corrales fight was a defining fight for Floyd even though he breezed right through him, but that was in a different weight class and that was a long time ago.

As for Mosely I agree he is a hall of fame fighter. But I don’t agree it is a defining fight for Floyd. Mosely is a hall of fame OLD fighter. Maybe 10 years or even 5 years ago. But not now. Mosley struggled agsinst Mayorga. He lost twice to Forrest when he was closer to his prime. No I am sorry, that does not meet the crfiteria to be called a defining fight.

kray;
Very well said. It is interesting that Cotto refused a fight with Mayweather and NEVER made any offer to fight him, when he had all the belts and would have been his biggest payday by far. Cotto would have made at least twice as much against Floyd than anyone else and Mayweather had all the belts, yet Cotto never made any attempt at all to fight Floyd. I doubt May 1 will generate 3 million PPVs but over 2 million is a real possibility and it could break all the records that ODLH-Mayweather set. It will definitely get more than any fight Pacquiao has ever been involved in.

Unless Delahoya or Hatton are on the card this fight will be lucky to do the same numbers as Mayweather/Marquez.

man Floyd would beat MANNY easily. PAC was the one who started making his demands. If neither made any demands and did it old school, i could really see FLOYD walking away the winner easily. At least Floyd fought OSCAR at his weight and beat hit, PAC fought a shot-dehydrated OSCAR. Who has PAC really beat, him and FLOYD are alike in that they wont fight someone who will threaten their win streak, thats why PAC wouldn’t re-match marquez, he knew he lost and knew he would lose again, If floyd is DUKCER than so is MANNY.

to all of u people here. do u consider sugar ray robinson and muhamed ali great fighters?. i bet half of u ain even seen a single fight from those guys. do u no y i no that. its because they both have similar styles to wait for it. yes floyd.they sayed that robinson runs around and lamota wasgon catch him n beat his ass. also frazier and forman wer suposed to beat ali because ali only ran around the ring in circles. now if ne one of u guys say floyd sucks and floyds style is shyt then i guess ur sayin the same thing bout robinson n ali. right?. u only think theyr great cuz thats wat uve read. keep drinkin the hatorade guys

@phocquiao– Cotto and Floyd were contemporaries at 140. Floyd asked Arum, for a shot at Cotto, and was rejected. Now why do you think that is? Because, Arum was trying to create another Tito out of Cotto, and Floyd would’ve put the brakes on that. Cotto was there when he DESTROYED Gatti. Did he ask Floyd for a fight after that? When Floyd was the WW champ, when did Cotto EVER call him out? Was he ever Floyd’s manditory, for a title defense? Not that I recall. If Floyd held the belts, he should’ve been pursued, by his contemporaries, not the other way around. After Floyd moved up and, beat ODLH, at ODLH’s NATURAL weight, and on ALL ODLH’s terms (smaller ring, 10oz gloves) , was Cotto calling Floyd out then? Not that I recall. Arguably, Floyd retiring gave some of these other fighters, like Cotto and Margarito room to grow. And gave Manny a chance to move up, and justify bouts against lesser opposition.

I agree that Arum offered up Margarito, before the fight with Baldomir. But, Baldomir was the LINEAL Champ. Baldomir was the more decorated opponent. Margarito was not ducked. If Margarito had been in Baldomir’s position and Baldomir his, maybe folks could make a point with that. But, why a known cheater, who, arguably, cheated Cotto and others before getting caught, continues to remain in the conversation, I will never know.

As far as ODLH chances over Pac. People gave ODLH, more of a chance, because, they thought he’d be at least as strong as he was against Floyd. But, even Roach said he was “shot”, after the fact of course. Now did you hear Roach saying that after ODLH’s loss to PBF? Regardless, Manny did what he’s was supposed to do…box circles, around a “shot” fighter. That fact that most of us underestimated Manny, is largely due to the power of MARKETING. They marketed this as David vs. Goliath, as opposed to what it really was…and we all took the bait. They did the same for Cotto, and are trying to do so with Clottey.

I like how you guys like to hold Pacquiao accountable for the dumb things other people say.

Listen to the man himself and not the clowns around him. Especially Arum.

Pac never said he was afraid of needles. He says like he’s always said, that giving blood close to the fight weakens him. He’s been saying that for 5 years. Why would he give Mayweather even more advantage? And who is Mayweather to be changing the rules anyway? He aint the champ nor is he the #1 P4P fighter. That’s all pac has said. EVerything is spew from clowns like Arum.

And that’s another point. Your whole case rests upon the accusations of a known drug dealer (mayweather) and a sleezy promoter (arum).

Why would Floyd give up a fight that he’s always said would be easy work for $40 mil over some drug test? Cleaning up the sport?

Wait till he retires, I bet we won’t hear anything about drugs in boxing coming from his mouth and you know it.

And yes, Pacquiao is superstitious, he doesn’t even wear black during training. Seriously, Pacquiao is consistent. It’s the Mayweathers who are constantly contradicting themselves. Not Ellerbee or Haymon. THe Mayweathers are doing it to them damn selves.

Mayweather insisted on Pacman giving blood because he obviously thinks Pacman is on something…and so do a lot of other people. The issue wasn’t Floyd asking Manny to take the same test he was willing to take to prove everything was on the up-n-up but rather, Pacman declining to take the same test Mayweather was willing to take.

This isn’t that complex…unless of course you believe the 15 different lies and stories Arum/Roach/Pacquiao inconsistently told throughout negotiations and afterwards.

he fought de la hoya at junior midlewieght, thats higher then the wieght class floyd fights at. and wen he says belts collects dust. he means he won 6 titles in 5 different wieght divisions he doesnt need ne mo titles. hes fightin for top p4p status b

@tonyg–You do realize that when JMM fought Pac, his in-ring weight was 141 and Pac’s was 145? That was almost two years ago. So, while he could effectively make 130, he, probably, walked around as a WW. What would all this size hype about Clottey be, if his in-ring weight was not about 15lbs more than his weigh-in weight? So, if JMM couldn’t put on enough weight, to get above the JWW limit, there would not have been a fight. But, I’m sure that was not hard for him. He did not look ineffective at that weight. If so, why would he continue to campaign, just a few lbs. lower, at JWW? He just got schooled by a better boxer…period. Fighting at any weight would’ve yielded the same result. He used Floyd as a barometer to see how he would do at higher weights, since it appears, he was trying to move up in weight. Floyd used him, as leverage, to get Manny’s attention, and put himself back into the PFP rankings, by beating the #2 guy. I see that it worked too.

On the other hand, ODLH walks around, as a MW. When he fought Floyd, his in-ring weight was in the mid 160′s, while Floyd’s was around 148 – 151. ODLH does not walk around at 147, and has not been that weight, AT ALL, for the last decade. He near killed himself to make the WW limit, and drained himself to the point that his in-ring weight was still147, while Pac was 148.5. Even Roach noticed how drained he was, and said he was “shot”. Pac did his job, anyway. But, when you look at all the factors, Floyd would’ve destroyed Oscar, under these same circumstances too. Did anybody say that JMM was shot? Nope.

You can always watch it for free at SOPcast.

@cadberrt – are you from the “birthers” movement?

I guess so big guy…Now it’s closed because I said so…

James Chicago, well put.

I was raised with a pretty good life not millions but we did well…my parents always told me money isn’t everything and there will always be someone that makes more than me so it doesn’t burn me up inside when I see someone living well…if you don’t like what floyd does don’t watch…I love it it’s entertainment to me…

Floyd money has nothing to do with me I have a job that I happen to like…I don’t understand why people keep trying to count another mans money…all that matters to me Is that man and my family have what we need and if I have $49 I want to spend to be entertained I have the right to do it…hate in your heart will hold you back in life…this is not a big enough issue for me to back someone I dont know anything about on…it’s just stupid for you to get on this site and tell people how to spend $49…

floyd is going overboard now, he is not just insulting his opponent but also the boxing fans, by bragging and wagging his money infront of national television all over the world. he forgot the reason why he is there where he at now is because of us the people who truly support the boxing. we are in civilized society lets not tolerate this kind of behavior. by not watching his PPV fight.

@leroy jenkins — you should be mad at guys from the wall street that stole your money and not Floyd that fights in the ring to make his living. Most people hate Floyd so much that they buy his fights to see him lose. To see him humiliated. But against their wishes he still winning.

@thompson — Most of guys that were in the ring with Floyd stated that he starts to jab you and after 2 rounds you start to feel dizzy. From 40 fights he Koed 25 of them I think that’s good enough for me and he never lost.

i urge every boxing fans all over the world, lets not tolerate floyd mayweather disrespectful arrogant behavior by not watching his PPV fight.this guy is wagging his money infront of us just to insult the boxing fans. he forgot we are the reason why he is making a lot of money because of us the boxing fans who support boxing. please lets not tolerate this kind of behavior. floyd is a disgrace of boxing.

@khaled, yes but you are missing the “hit” part of the “hit and not be hit”. Floyd cannot even knowck out a man 3 weight classes below him. His punches are pitty pat punches. He does not commit to them. Too risky. Better just to run around the ring all night and pot shot. Is that the new face of boxing? Not worth MY $49.85

I think the sun is setting down for Floyd. His last fight does not have a mark of any greatness at all. One comment here says it exactly-a clinic-a dance clinic. He can talk as much as he wants but the facts are there for everybody to see-he just does not have it anymore. Oh well, the guy has to make a safe way of living,pay a lot of debts, so be it. I really think they are trying too hard in hyping this fight..At 33 and with the unimpressive last fight, Floyd needs to reconsider his career options. Good luck to these two old fighters.

@Phoocquiao — I have to disagree with you. If Floyd hasn’t faced ranked opponents, in his own weight class, he’d never have 6 titles in the 5 of the weight classes, he’s been in.

And Pacquiao fighting ODLH is the same thing. It was a “dream match” and ODLH was not ranked in the WW division. But, he had marketing appeal. At least when Floyd fought ODLH it was for his JMW strap, at ODLH’s natural weight, and on ODLH’s terms (bigger gloves, smaller ring size, etc).

To me, in terms of purpose, Pac fighting ODLH is no different than PBF fighting Marquez. Neither opponent presented any real risk, but, each was marketable.

@crottyruh – A KO is impressive. But, dominating an opponent over 12 rounds (putting on a clinic) is just as impressive, if not moreso. Each is just another ‘W’. in the win column.

Pacman fought David Diaz because he had the belt, he fought Hatton because he had the belt, he fought Cotto because he had the belt. He’s thinking of Yuri Foreman because he has the belt

@kray

I suspect you think a decision is a more definite win than a KO?

Definitely, the Mayweather v. Mosley will not reach 3M buys. It ould be lucky to hit 2M. People would be bored to death to watch the fight. It would be better to drink a glass of wine to the tune of “I should have danced all night”. But if boxing is a hobby, one would surely adopt the Mayweather style. But to watch boxing and pay $50, you expect to watch a war. Kings watched gladiators kill each other. Because people are excited to see real fights, brutal fights.. that is the kind of boxing people love. If only Mayweather is brave and fights like a gladiator, he would have been the greatest fighter of all time. He has all what it takes to be the greatest except that he is a COWARD.

These Pac fans are just that…PAC fans. Someone who understands the sport, understands that you have to be able to win in other ways, besides trying to KTFO every opponent. Pac has ALWAYS fought fighters that suit his style. Just because Pac has others choosing his opponents, and Floyd has chosen his, since leaving Arum, does not mean Pac’s opponents aren’t carefully selected. When has Pac EVER fought someone besides JMM, who was not there to be hit (and even he kind of was). Even Clottey, with his defense, does not move around enough. So, AGAIN, he is there to be hit.

Floyd has fought all different styles and sizes of opponents throughout his career. He’s fought come forward fighters, boxers, sluggers, defensive fighters, fighters faster than him, and with more power than him, etc. He has beaten ALL of them. For the most part, he makes it look easy, because, to someone with his combination of skills and ring smarts…it is. Floyd can in-fight very well, out-fight very well, slip punches very well, defend very well, use both hands equally well, fight conventional or southpaw, and he does not waste punches. He’s had trouble with lefties before. But, he still has some of those on his resume too. He is the consummate boxer. Pac is not ready for Floyd. He does what he does, very well. But, he only has a puncher’s chance to win. If he does not KO Floyd, he will be DOMINATED, and, possibly, KTFO himself. Mosely, even at 38, is, actually, a tougher opponent for Floyd, than Pacquiao.

Personally, I’m spending my money with both of them (Pac/Clottey next week and Floyd/Shane on May 1), because, I am a boxing fan, and I appreciate all 4 fighters, for what they do. But, to each his own.

just the facts.

floyd did not avoid cotto. go check it out they asked arum if cotto would fight floyd and arum sayed no its a bad fight cottos not ready for floyd. get ur facts straight b

@you know, Also Floyd’s stats are so good because he cherry picks his opponents. I think both Floyd AND Pac avoided Williams. But Floyd avoided EVERYONE, including Cotto, and probably wouldn’t have fought clottey either if he didn’t have to. Now show me his “stat” record against the best welters out there and I will agree with the point u are trying to make. But that point rings hollow when he cherry picks his oppositions. Gatti? YOu mean the same Gatti who had wars with that futuer hall of famer, uhh, what;s his name….. Mickey Ward? Hatton? puh-leeze. Way overrated form that one fight with Tzu. Now let him fight Williams and MOsely in his prime and then finally Pacquiao and still show the same stats and I will “get down on my knees, crawl across the ring and tell him that he is the greatest” quote from M. Ali.

@you know
The big difference is… hall of fame slugger against a hall of fame ducker.

I can’t understand how few people undermines Pac’s achievement. You people always claiming that your a boxing expert and boxing fan and know better than an “average” Pac fan. Can’t you just keep it to yourself? You like Floyd, fine. Do you need to bash on Pac for your satisfaction?

One day, these two will meet and we will see who’s the better boxer.

If Mayweather is so boring to watch then why has he crushed Pacquiao PPV buys against common opponents? No one wants to watch Mayweather yet all the fights in his 21 month absence, which included three, yes three, Pacquaio PPV fights, all the fights combined in this nearly 2 year layoff did less than Floyd’s previous two fights??? Look at the numbers and you will see, no one, i repeat no one, is close to the draw as Mayweather. Some people want to see brawls with no defense and love Pacquiao, but if thats what people wanted to see Toughman would be the biggest sport out there. Look at the numbers, they don’t lie. Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing EVER. Everyone gets their biggest payday against Mayweather, even Mosley who battled ODLH twice. I know most people hate Mayweather, but look at the numbers. They are so big because he always takes on the biggest fights against top fighters. Floyd’s not cherry-picking where he is a 6-1 favorite, he’s fighting the best. AGAIN. And poor Manny said Mosley was too good and had a superstition that he only had as long as Mayweather negotations were going on. If Pac cared about the fans at all he would be fighting the best, not an unknown 6-1 underdog. But only the best have the heart to take on the best and luckily Mayweather has the heart to go along with his skills.

And I don’t know about P. Williams. Other than that he is a phyical freak of nature, he didn’t look so overwhelming in his last fight. But at ww, he is like Hearns was at welter. Yet Leoanard still beat him, despite the physical mismatch. Actually, much as I intensely dislike Floyd, I actually think he would beat P. Williams. I think Pac would have a harder time because the physical mismatch would be even greater for him, but I also think Pac beats Floyd, not because he is better, because he is not. Floyd is the best boxer out there. But Pac beats Floyd BECUAUSE FLOYD IS A LIGHT PUNCHER WHO CANNOT HURT HIM.

I would think he got beat by a better fighter on that night. A Hall of Fame fighter, not a bun like Clottey. Any more dumb questions?

Great fight, imma be watching that night. Cant wait.

Nanong, you are the racist! iit’s individuals like you who thing that because Pac came from being poor into success he is gods gift to the freaking world. I say Floyd by stoppage, but i also say P. Williams would kick the shi! out of Floyd, Shane or Pac. I’m a fan, I’m not a fighter fan. It’s ok to admit when your main guy has come across a superior opponent. Now since you bring race into this…… When has Pac ever fought, and excuse ppl if i offend someone here………. when has he fought a brother? I mean a real top, good, quality black African American fighter? Never…….. and by the talk of Roach, he will retire before allowing his a@@ to get spanked by one! AND I’M WHITE AS SNOW SO GO AHEAD AND CALL ME A REVERSE RACIST OR SOMETHING DUMB LIKE THAT!

I’m white and pale as freakin snow, but I know the difference between boxing and MMA. Some guys get in there and slug it out because they lack the skills to box. It is only a handfull of fighter out there who are ‘boxing clinicians’ and i’m not afraid to say it here, Pac is not one of them. Shane, Floyd, Sweet Pea W., Zab, the old ack in the day Roy Jones, M. Ali. Dude, keep it real, Pac is a brawler, not a clinician, thats why Marquez took him to hell and back.

Oh of course it may not do well as the local guys (Floyd/Mosley) this is not the home turf for
Clottey or Pacman. Besides brothers, no matter what
support only their “brothers”, their color only
and only their color…they dont care about Mexicans,
or any other ethnic groups! Dont know why the Mexicans
support them….mind boggling ! WAKE UP !!

@Jamnor, you DO get to 40-0 by running all night IF you get to cherry pick who you fight. You Floyd lovers say it is not Floyd’s fault that his fights are boring because he is always so much better than his opponents. I agree with that. But he is only always “so much better” because HE ONLY WILL FIGHT opponents against who he is “so much better”. Any possibility for a competetive fight Floyd avoids like the plague, which is why he will never fight Pac. When wsa the last time Floyd fought an elite fighter in his own weight class in his prime? Diego Corrales, and that was light years ago. When did Floyd ever test himself? Never. NOt because he is so much better than all the other fighters out there, but rather because he cherry picks WHO he fights and will only fight mismatches in his favor. He got backed into a corner with Mosley (oh he would have loved to have fought Matthew Hatton instead) but even at that his is fighting a guy pushing 40. Let him drop this bull crap about drug testing wiht Pac and meet him in the ring like a man. Clottey is willing to do it and Floyd is supposed to be light years better than Clottey so what’s the problem? Floyd needs to step up and fight Pac or forever be branded a chicken

and even if Mosley Floyd don’t do 3mil, they will easily break Floyd previous PPV buy record. Dude, I’m a barber, I know at least 30 different fight parties easily different ppl are having. Floyd shane will easily, and I do mean easily out do Pac fight. I’m a P. Williams fan myself, but I can be honest with myself and not ride neither of these dudes nuts, anybody who think Pac outsell Floyd Shane is a serious hater and not a true boxing fan at all. 2 hall of fame fighters battling, or one hall of fame fighter and one dude NOBODY knows.

Youre right this fight is just going to attract like people but only local….don’t think it has world wide appeal…

Pac bum Clottey does not even come close to 1.5 mil PPV buys, for the simple fact everybody knows who the winner is. International viewers my a@@, Pac crowd will buy, Clottey has no following, zero, and those from the poor country would rather wisely spend their money on more needed/desired things instead. Remember Clottey complained and complained for years but never got the ‘official’ supporting cast from his home country, this is the first fight of his that he has the ‘official’ support of his group, but the problem with that is he still isn’t getting much promotion at all. All in all, enough said, Pac fight is days away and it still hasn’t ‘sole out’, so what makes you think if cheap tickets to his fight hasn’t ‘sold out’ he would do better PPV numbers? Come on dude, keep it real. 900k-1mil PPV buys.

This fight breaks PPV buys numbers easily. Pac and bum Clottey does about 900k. In the end, Floyd make more $$ from his fight that Pac.

Mosley’s not a PPV attraction, according to Floyd, that’s why he fought Marquez on his return bout and it generated just over a million PPV buys to think that it’s many just wants to see MW’s ring return. Now that it’s his 2nd fight out of retirement, the excitement is gone and with him saying that fans don’t pay the bills, i don’t think it will even come close to half of what’s being put up by schaefer. I think FANS will want MW to know who pay the bills and that it’s the MW in every fight that he’s in. It’s like watching a replay over and over again.

Mosley fight will not reach 3 million
PPV, because most of the viewers
are only from the U.S.
But the Pac and Clottey fight will pass
the 3 million PPV views, because all
the viewers are all over the world,
International.

Omg This fight is just a fraud..First Mosley will dived give the fight to Mayweather..Because his part owner of Goldenboy Promotions..By losing Mosley gains more money than winning.
And Fraud mayweather will his running put in good use gain.
So boxing Fans…This fight is Fraud….

Well if Mayweather vs Mosley blows away pacroid vs clottey. Then FMJ will have the upper hand in negotiations. Delahoya, Hatton, Marquez PPV numbers were higher with Mayweather than with Pacroid.

this fight will make history when it comes to ppv sales

@chris william great article.

@ bestbreed totally agrees with you

ha, this picture is proof,floyd has the stronger body , he also taller,he had bigger arms ,he has longer reach,a bigger chest ,longer legs ,he a large ww, pac a small ww manny way skinnier and weights less so why the heck floyd want a level playing field? even if pac maybe 10% uses steroid. floyd has the advantage,and floyd need the test to the day off the fight, to be sure,even as pac would take the test after the fight.I smell a pink used Panties.

To get a million at this stage of Floyd’s boxing career will be a stretch. I agree with a comment here that floyd is no longer a mystery fighter unlike his first comeback fight. People have seen/reviewed his fights-they are boring. Floyd’s fans may insist until their dying days that he is a scientific fighter but fans around the world don’t care about a style of fighting that make you recite the Periodic table (mayweather fight interview by merchant). The last time he fought was even worse. One could hardly conclude that indeed Floyd is the greatest pound for pound. As much as we want to be optimistic about Floyd, the guy just don’t have it anymore. He’s slower, weaker and has lost the appetite for fighting. He’s better off pursuing Dancing with the stars. He seemed more alive there.

Won’t even come close to 3 million. I don’t think Pacquiao/Mayweather could put together that much, let alone Mosley.

Wait and see…

I’m right and you know it!!!

Sorry Wapakman fan!!! He may fly around the Philipines in a cape, but Pacquiao alone will NOT sell very many PPV buys here in the US!

I predict the Clottey/Pacquiao fight will do 600,000 PPV buys. I also predict Mayweather/Mosely to do 2.5M PPV buys.

Say what you want, people will be buying the fight to either see Mayweather win, or his haters will buy hoping to see him lose. Love or hate…they are fans. If it were me, I would be pleased with both because both would be putting money in my pocket.

This fight, (Mosely/Mayweather) will be the highest grossing fight in HISTORY surpassing Mayweather/DeLahoya.

Mayweather/Pacquiao will set a record that won’t be surpassed for decades in the future.

In the US, Pinoys I am sorry to say, Mayweather is the loved and hated draw that sells tickets. Pacquiao can sellout Dallas at $20.00 a pop, Mayweather sells PPV buys at $54.95 ea with HD.

And you know I’m Right!

yo boxing fan. y do u say hel take a dive? because of the money?. clottey is makin the most money hes ever made ina fight. do u htink hel take a dive?. because theyr both promoted bu the same promoter. ur a idiot man. arum been investigated by the fbi 5 times. so dun get me started. this fight wil b great. if u say floyd runs around u duno shyt. its called defence and ring savy. the baltimore ravens and tampa bay bucaneers wernt exciting. but they was the champ. and they only champs cuz of theyr defence

only in your dreams.
dont think they have interest,their not much to talk about.look at the floyd/mosley post,and they both have the same fans base. they be lucky to get 1 million,around same a pac/cottley.

If take Oscar De La Hoya out of the equation Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto was a higher grossing ppv than any of Mayweather’s ppv including with Hatton…I bet Pac/Clottey and Mayweather/Mosley are pretty close yes May-Mosley should do more but I bet it’s closer than people think

Mosley-Mayweather will be lucky to do a million

Most people that will be watching this fight will be Floyd’s old fans from his “Dancing with the Star” stint. Floyd better be more artistic and creative to get at least a UD decision from the judges or this will be his last dance.

These are the two best welters over the last 10 years, the fight should post high numbers. Will never understand how people can say it will be a running match, you don’t run to a 40-0 record……haters! This fight will be an epic battle, ther is no way mosley allows this to be a running match, Floyd will have to fight. Pacquio and clottey on the other hand will go only two ways, pacquiao either dominates clottey to a UD, or clottey will knock pacquiao out. But you basically have one guy in pacqiuao to carry the fight. In mayweather vs mosley you have two fighters to carry the fight which is why is will do great in terms of revenue.

Boxing Fan shutting the hell up. I 2nd that Dirk. He’s just a bitter Pac fan mad cause his boy is gettin no attention from the media.

lol what are you talking about you’re not gonna buy shane’s ppv now. if i can recall wasn’t his fight with berto gonna be on hbo for free? so i don’t know what you’re talking about buying shane’s ppv’s. And for everyone talking about Mayweather runs in the ring (including the writer) have no idea what boxing is about. Boxing is hit and not be hit. Not sit in the middle of the ring and trade shots until someone falls. That’s not boxing. Ali who is considered the “greatest” said float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. What do you guys think floating like a butterfly is? That’s moving around not letting yourself be hit. So when Ali does it he’s the greatest. But when Mayweather does it oh he’s a runner. You guys make me sick!! Just stop watching boxing go on Youtube and watch Kimbo Slice fights or something. (no offence to Kimbo)

@Boxingfan

Shut The Hell Up!

Nope. The writer came up with a crazy number. So when it doesnt reach 3 mil floyd will look bad. He’s not the most exciting but he is the most skilled fighter.This is a way to make the fight look like he didnt do as great as floyd made it out to be.

Nah!!!… Only if he fight pacman..

Well looking at the sponsors involved and all the promotion etc, might as well be!! I mean these guys (business man) knows what they are doing.

If it happens, that would be a big disappointment for 3 million people watching Floyd run and dance the whole time.

Floyd vs Marquez should have never done 1.1 million and you should also consider that number was slightly reduced due to ppl who watched it in theatres instead of ordering it

Mayweather Mosley will do 1.8 million or more imo but close to 2.5 wont suprise me either, 3 million is just insane I will be shocked if it reaches that level…either way this is kind of a bad thing because this PPV is going to absolutely CRUSH Manny vs Clottey numbers meaning more problems during negotiations if they should even find a solution for the blood testing

Nope!

if they put some hispanic fighters on the undercard im sure they got a chance to do 2.5 or at least 2million buys however the only fight that can break the 3million mark is mayweather vs pacquiao
