Showtime Sports Executive, Stephen Espinoza, has made it clear–via Twitter–that any reports of official pay-per-view numbers at this point are premature.
@HookRightBoxing @RickGlaser1 No one knows the #s. Cable hasn’t even reported yet…but anyone who predicts red ink doesn’t understand PPV.

Rick Glaser got the interwebs talking when he reported that “The Moment” buys came in at 854,000.
Today I tweeted Floyd-Maidana PPV buys are 854,000. Showtime’s Spin King Stephen Espinoza tweeted “no numbers yet” I standby mine. #boxing

Even after a bevy of people attacked him, Glaser stuck by his numbers, even calling Espinoza the “spin king.”
It remains to be seen when Espinoza and Showtime will release their official numbers.
