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.

HBO isn't a private company like UFC therefore THEY CAN'T lie about their PPV numbers and it has to be published as public record. Second of all Movie Theatre tickets don't count as PPV either and even if they did they'd make very little difference (350ppl x 200 theatres= do the math). If they were gonna lie they would do it for Manny as well since thats their boy and they make a ton of money off of him....trust me if your skeptical now your gonna be REAL skeptical once Mayweather/Mosey goes over 2mill but too bad you'd be wrong
