Here's the info, faggot.

1. Arturo Gatti 06/25/05 340,000
2. Zab Judah 04/08/06 350,000
3. Carlos Baldomir 11/04/06 320,000
4. Oscar De La Hoya 2.4 million

The Golden Boy was indeed the Kingmaker.

Because of the result of this fight the big ppv numbers imo are actually bad. The less people who saw it the better, these are the types of decisions that kills boxing and turn people away from the sport

A smaller factor is that Pac's opponents tend to get paid more than Floyd's. Golden Boy typically don't pay their fighters as much to get Floyd the big purse splits he demands. (eg. Marquez $8-9M vs Pac, $3.2M vs Floyd)

Right.

As a sitting Congressman, as well as a TV/film personality and a global icon, Pacquiao doesn't have the time to run his own promotional company, I don't think.

That's why Arum is in the picture. At least as far as I understand. So Pac doesn't have to spend his time on this.

If that's true, then why did Floyd-JMM only do 1.0M buys?
