Pacquiao vs. Rios Does Under 500K PPV Buys LOL

:rofl

And we had guys estimating 1 million. Jesus LOL

Floyd Mayweather, Jr- 2.2 million buys

Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao- 450k

50-50 split? Hell no!!!!

 

Glad to hear boxing fan have more knowledge than what i thought, RIos simply isnt opponent worth buying PPV, no skill and you can see Pac working on heavybag on youtube for free..

 

That is a damn good number based on the fact that it wasn't here in America and it didn't get much hype here in the states. I never really seen anything on it outside of HBO back on my TV in Texas or here in Michigan.

Now when it comes to negotiating with Mayweather its not good bc that will be used against them. Arum should have never had that fight over there. Would have been much higher here in the states.

 

Bob Arum being the smart promoter he is got the Chinese to pay him a bunch of money up front, so at least from his perspective he made money, don’t know about anyone else.

The Bobfather strikes again!!!!

 

**** is Bradley #2 PPV now! HA HA

PAC WHO?

 

Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios PPV buys: Disastrous

Written by Lee Cleveland
Dec 04, 2013

After two straight losses, fight legend Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) dominated rising upstart Brandon Rios (31-2-1, 23 KOs), winning an impressive, lopsided twelve round decision, culminating an historic fight card in Macau, China on November 23rd.

But Pacquiao vs Rios, now, may be more remembered for something else.

Mannix tweeted earlier today:

"Bob Arum tells SI that Pacquiao-Rios pay per view numbers are somewhere between 500,000 and 550,000."


This is bad news for Top Rank, Team Pacquiao and the sport in general.

There was no mention of the Pacquiao vs Rios PPV buyrate in China but nothing can salvage this.


Either the event was promoted poorly or Pacquiao, one of boxing's two biggest stars, is losing his proverbial 'juice' ... fast.

PacMan, who dazzled inside the ring and gave what was arguably one of his top 10 performances, was guaranteed $18 million USD plus a portion of the PPV revenue.

It was believed the Filipino superstar could leave Macau having earned upwards of $30 million for his services. But rest-assured, he probably won't receive a sum remotely close to that.

Moreover, this disappointing number (which should be viewed as tragedy for the sport itself) gives PacMan rival Floyd Mayweather even more leverage in Mayweather vs Pacquiao negotiations.

The Mayweather vs Canelo bout in September eclipsed two million buys and set a new revenue record in the U.S. There were roughly four times as many purchases for that fight as there were for Pacquiao vs Rios and the former was the more expensive of the two.



Even Mayweather vs Guerrero in May, deemed a PPV failure, generated over 870,000 buys, still an estimated 40 percent more than Pacquiao vs Rios.

Don't be surprised if Mayweather demands a 75-25 revenue split should negotiations get that far.

There was no mention of the Pacquiao vs Rios PPV buyrate in China.

How does the estimated 500,000 to 555,000 buyrate compare with other bouts?


*While the PPV events headlined by Marquez and Martinez PPV generated lower numbers, those fighters are not nearly as mainstream as Manny Pacquiao nor are they paid nearly as well. In actuality, both endeavors were considered PPV successes.

• Mayweather vs Canelo - 2.1 million
  September 2013
• Marquez vs Bradley - 375,000
  October 2013
• Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 - 1.15 million
  December 2013
• Martinez vs Chavez Jr - 475,000
  September 2012
• Pacquiao vs Bradley 900,000
  June 2012
• Mayweather vs Cotto - 1.5 million

450k compared to Guerrero 900k HMMM

 

Rios/Manny did 450k and since it's HBO, they probably won't release the real #'s

375k is what I'm estimating

It's not bad!

Arum "We did 500-550k"

Reality: 375-400

 

Not really. The low end projections for this fight was around 600K. If it did under 500K, that's a bad number. I guess it's no surprise that Arum announced Pacquiao's next fight will be in The States.

 

Very bad
