LMAO

Is this the same fucking website that told you a couple weeks ago that it was 850,000 buys?

LMFAO

I love fucking threads like this from fucking idiots who are just looking to grab onto something to say, "I TOLD YOU MAYWEATHER WASN'T THIS OR THAT!"

Expect an official announcement soon...and the number will be HIGHER than the guess of 1.15 that Chris Mannix has made.

More than likely, it will be 1.25 million, with additional numbers expected to trickle in.

Fucking idiots. LOL.

Regardless of the actual number, any idea on the reason for the delay? I can't remember it EVER taking this long for an official number to be released. Just seems strange.

Who cares about the fucking reason for the delay? Who cares about the fucking numbers to begin with? Some of y'all are acting like you're getting paid off the final numbers.

I mean, I can name a TON of fights that I never even HEARD the final numbers for. Christ, we still haven't gotten an official number on Pacquiao-Mosley. Showtime ain't never releases those numbers. Come on, man.

According to Dan Rafael, it had something to do with taxes...I don't know if that's true or not, but damn, seriously, why the hell is everyone so worried about numbers that have no impact on you...hell, it doesn't even impact the sport. The numbers from this PPV are not going to impact whether or not Pacquiao and Floyd fight. The only thing that makes that fight is the tests...and the only person standing in the way of that is Bob Arum.

An official announcement will come when they're ready to make it....which will probably be soon....and it will probably be around 1.25-1.3....with a few more numbers expected to trickle in. The final numbers will probably be adjusted and tallied 6 months after the fight....just like they were for De La Hoya-Mayweather.

In all fairness I think numbers are a facet of PPV boxing that fans are interested in. I mean the initial estimate was interesting enough for you to run a story on your front page titled "Mayweather STILL the PPV king" or words to that effect.

For me and a lot of others I will be curious to see what the final figures are. I guess it is just a part of whole modern experience of being a fight fan. Who is the trainer? What is the result? What were the PPV figures? It's part of the package now.

Also fighters base their marketability on PPV#'s so I think it's interesting to follow those numbers. That's how we base someone's popularity on. I mean the thing could have done 500K and it wouldn't matter at the end of the day. Floyd's still getting paid and he'll get paid for his next fight and the fight after that, and so on until he retires for good.

So in that sense the numbers don't really matter, it's just another aspect to the sport that we as fans follow, as you said.

I might add BM that there are two things Floyd really hangs his hat on: his unbeaten record and his PPV numbers.

Sure FH has some pretty good access to him so you would have to give them the inside running on what the final figures are likely to be but at the same time anytime there are alternate numbers floated out there people are gonna bite and show some interest.
