That’s what I was thinking.

From what I can tell the final presser was sort of strange overall. Like they couldn’t decide if they were going for super respectful or hyping it up. Mosley mostly talked about what a great fight it would be. Mayweather went between “I’m prepared,” “I love my family” and “I sell lots of pay-per-views.” Schaefer gloated and went insane. Roger said he likes Shane and his family. Naazim quietly characterized the Mayweathers as buffoons. Floyd Sr. was on his own planet as usual.

3mill? Maybe even 4? I just don’t see it.

Not really
This fight will probably do real close to 3million. About 2.7 million or so… Easy

totally
It’s definitely the biggest fight ever. There’s absolutely no question about it being the biggest fight ever. This has definitely generated the sort of coverage and interest that Oscar-Floyd and Lewis-Tyson did. You can’t dispute that.

It will do well
But probably about half your estimates. 1.3 – 1.5 million seems reasonable to me. But I’m more optimistic than some.

Schaefer is off his rocker with his goofy 4 million prediction.

Schaefer’s in the bad predictions business. A smart man would get his prediction on this fight and bet his house on the opposite.

Not to say I think 3 or 4 million is happening (it’s not), but he did say a million for Floyd-JMM and was right when everyone thought that was bananas. But I wonder if he’ll hide the numbers in embarrassment when this DOESN’T reach his outlandish prediction, like Arum tried to do when Hatton-Pacquiao didn’t single-handedly allow Bob to buy Dubai.

Minus the latino buys, I have a little trouble seeing this break $1.5 million, much less 2 mill.
"My God, kids today think that the laces are for tying up the gloves."
-- Fritzie Zivic
1.5 mil is my guess on the buys. They could go over, they could be under. And it’ll be a phenomenal success, but now will be made fun of because it doesn’t do almost two times what the biggest PPV ever did. This isn’t a Babe Ruth situation where he just blows home run marks out of the water. Peoples’ wallets haven’t changed that much in three years. If anything they’ve gotten lighter and tighter.

This is the "Hurt Game"
Shane is going to get his ass beat. he should have took a tune up fight, he’s been off to long. you will see that his timing will be off and he will get desperate and frustrated by the 6 round. And then we will see the long "close my eyes hooks.’
If you always thought what you thought, then you wouldn't think what you knew.
If this fight goes over 2 million I'm making what you just said my sig
