Yes, I understand that this was the official figure reported by Golden Boy Promotions.

Rumor has it that a different number was reported according to HBO's IRS filing, whatever the hell that is. Supposedly the number was closer to 450,000 which sounds alot more realistic of what Marquez-Mayweather did. I remember leading up to the fight thinking... this fight has a 24/7 countdown but it's going to fall far short of anything spectacular regarding the numbers.

Just was wondering if anyone else is skeptical of that "reported" figure especially when Floyd was so quick to agree to a 50/50 split with Manny.

I have a guy digging into this subject with some very credible sources.

I DEFINITELY thought those numbers were inflated. I mean, 1 million on the dot? Come on...really?

Personally, I just figured they were counting the movie theater buys as well.

That is actually what I was going to say. 1 movie theatre ticket purchase is technically a PPV buy...is it not?
