Schaefer said the pay-per-view tally for the Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones Jr. fight on April 3 is at about 130,000 but is expected to approach 150,000 after all the figures are in.

Golden Boy set 300,000 as its goal. However, some experts wondered whether it would exceed 100,000, which Schaefer said was overly pessimistic.

"They ARE two big names," he said.

I read that the fight did 150,000 buys on PPV.

WOW.

I like Pavlik by late stoppage and I don't believe he will be down on the cards either. I also don't discount Pavlik planting Martinez on the seat of his pants in the early rounds either.

Wow...120-150,000 buys is just the right amount to make sure both Hopkins and Jones make their $3.5 million. Somebody's good with numbers.
