pac against a no name (clottey, bradley) got 850,000. with rios it would be safe to say at least that he got at least that much for the u s ppv.
Pac at the time was still seen as invincible, things have changed since then. People still love pac and its his comback fight so I will agree with those numbers. But I believe if he doesn't fight a name opponent next his ppv numbers will drop. Asking us to pay for a shi card and a no hope fighter is getting old fast.
I'm not trying to troll or anything... But I'm pretty sure BOTH Clottey and Bradley did 700k each, not 850k. Like, I'm pretty damn sure. --- Besides, the US fans and media value a winner. They pay for that. They don't pay for the #4 WW in the world to fight guys in their first fight at the division.
Stop being morons. 300k is too low and 1.5mil is too high. I'd say its close to the Bradley number, somewhere around 900k with a gate of $10 mil.
Word in Pac made 18 million for fighting in china ! This is the Equivalent of 30 million is the US. The taxman is an evil that is hard to beat but Arum found a way for Pacquiao.
I wouldn't be surprised if Pac-Rios made more 750k PPV. A lot of boxing fans were curious if he was still good.
