Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, Timothy Bradley takes on Juan Manuel Marquez on HBO PPV via Top Rank. Bob Arum recently indicated some PPV predictions including the one for this fight which is priced at $64.95 (HD).
Arum speaking to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports and Ryan Burton of BoxingScene.com had predictions for Bradley-Marquez and Pacquiao-Rios which happens in late November. Arum indicated that he thinks that Bradley-Marquez would draw between 350,000-450,000 PPV buys. Arum indicated that if it does 350,000 buys it will be a successful event.
On the other hand, he predicts Pacquiao-Rios to do 750,000-800,000 buys. We’ll talk about this later as that fight draw near.
Payout Perspective:
With the $64.95 price tag, we see the influence Floyd Mayweather has had on Boxing PPV. One could expect Pacquiao-Rios to be priced at $64.95 or $69.99 HD. It’s hard to say that Marquez-Bradley is worth $64.95. Here, HBO/Top Rank is hoping that Mexican fans of Marquez are willing to spend the extra money for the PPV. It is an intriguing matchup but not sure if the price tag is worth it.
Will Saturday’s fight hit 350K PPV buys as Arum predicts?
That the Bradley-Marquez event can be successful at 350,000 while guaranteeing the headliners over $10.1 mil should give us an idea how profitable some UFC events are.
Would be a major success if it does. I don’t think it will get over 250K buys.
I rekon this fight will do ni lower than 400 000 but no higher than 600 000 which is a good buy even 350 to 400 is a good buy gutted tat juan lost i had it 115 113 but he,s had a great career so good luck to bradley he fought a great fight n game plan was spot on,,,,
