    Pacquiao has six 1 million PPV buys fights, which ties Mike Tyson for the most in boxing history...

    Will Pacquiao break the tie in his next PPV fight in September?

    Probable opponents in September are JMM, Bradley or Rios ...

    I think Pacquiao vs. any of the 3 (JMM or Bradley or Rios) PPV fight in September will generate at least 1 million PPV buys ...

    Pacquiao's last fight against Bradley did 850K buys. So that fight might not get it done. He'll almost certainly eclipse 1M if he fights Marquez.

    Pacquiao V Bradley 2 is a completely different fight than the first. Bradley has been in a war, made himself a bit more marketable, has the belt and a big backstory to what happened to him after the Pacquiao fight.

    Pacquiao is coming off the first big KO loss as the Pacquiao the world knows, is very much the challenger and no one know what to expect now

    I think it's fair to say Pacquiao V Bradley 2 should do over 1m

    It's not fair to say at all. Expecting an additional 150K to buy that fight is far from a forgone conclusion. Getting knocked out cold and almost losing to a no name does not raise your stock. Now it is a rematch, and the odds would be closer. However, it's far from a certainty that it would top 1M buys.

    Fair enough, I just think the rematch would be easier to market in many respects

    If Mayweather lost to Guerrero for instance, I'm sure the rematch would do more numbers

    No, considering most of the numbers were made up by top rank. When was the last official time Pac's numbers were released?

    Top Rank hasn't released the official numbers for his fights in years. I don't know how you can even have this conversation based solely Arum's word about how well the event sold.

    Surprising that his comeback fight against marquez did less than the other bar Hatton, also thought Hatton would of brought in a lot more.
