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!"

I LOVE IT!

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.

I'm not saying fans can't be interested in them, but god damn, some of y'all are OBSESSED with them. That's all I'm getting at. I mean, how many fucking threads have been created about it already? We ran our story over a month ago, and since then, there's been all kinds of guesses, assumptions, inaccurate information, totally off numbers, conspiracy theories, you name it. It's fucking crazy. I mean, even this thread right here is sourcing a site that told you two weeks ago the number was 850K, and now all of a sudden, they're telling you it's 1.15 and that's taken as fact as though the site is credible. Even now, somebody else is saying 700K...all the while, it seems like people are just eager to say, "So much for FightHype this" and "Fight reporting inaccurate that". WTF? How about FightHype is the only place that stood firm on their initial number? How about FightHype is the only place reporting numbers similar to what Dan Rafael is hearing (give or take 50K)? How about, "Damn, maybe FightHype wasn't that far off in the first place. I guess Mayweather can sell even when his opponent is new to the PPV scene. I wonder how much revenue that generated given that this PPV was more expensive than normal."

It's always negative, negative, NEGATIVE shit coming out of the mouths of some y'all. I mean, are we really fans of the sport? Or are we just bitter haters of certain fighters?

You jumped the gun with your article days after the fight stating a MINIMUM GUARANTEE of 1.3 Million PPV Buys. Now you are changing your tune and saying it is "somewhere around there" and "Damn, maybe FightHype wasn't too far off in the first place???" LOL.

You diss "Fat Man Scoop" every time he is brought up, but now you are turning to him for credibility in a time of need. How convenient.

Just remember: you reported a MINIMUM of 1.3 Million PPV buys. If your "inside sources" are so credible and you are so sure, why are you changing your tune? Just admit that you made a mistake and you jumped the gun in order to proclaim your boy Floyd P4P King of PPV.

I didn't jump any gun you dumb fuck. I reported my numbers from my source AFTER Kevin Iole reported his numbers (1.3-1.4 million) and before Rafael reported his numbers (1.2-1.25 million) and Steve Kim reported his numbers (800K) and Chris Mannix reported his numbers (1.15 million). And nobody is "turning" to Fat Man Scoop, nor do I even "diss" him...I simply point out the fact that he NEVER gives credit to anyone else and is blind as a bat when it comes to scoring the fights of certain fighters. I wouldn't say that's "dissing" him or his credibility...nor would I say I'm "conveniently" turning to him. And I'm not changing my tune....I still said 1.3 million. I simply said an official release will probably come out saying 1.25 million with numbers still expected to trickle in. When it's all said and done, I expect the final tally to be over 1.3. So no, I made no mistake...unless, of course, you're implying everyone else also made a mistake with the wrong numbers...in which case, okay, I guess we were ALL wrong since nobody gave you the exact fucking number. I'll tell you what is convenient though...getting rid of dumb asses like yourself who CLEARLY has some sort of ax to grind with FightHype.
