    He could have easily lied about Pacquiao-Rios.

    The networks won't confirm numbers that aren't accurate.

    So he could have said one thing but HBO wouldn't have commented on it and it would have obviously been phony.

    Sort of what made the whole Showtime PPV with Pacquiao vs. Mosley kind of sketchy. Arum says one thing. Network didn't confirm. Everybody was like, "uhhhhh...?"

    Industry sources are putting the number below 700,00K. We'll see how it turns out.

    i assume so, i just can't resist taking a stab at the Bobfather, at least DK put together some decent cards over the years, despite treating his fighters like boiled dog****, Bob is possibly worse than DK

    i guess u cant read!!! the writer is guessing...

    another one said 625k

    so the fight can sell anywhere from 500k to 700k
    wait until the final numbers come out!!!

    But majority of Boxing Writers are saying this did worse than the first fight in terms of PPV buys!!

    "The pay-per-view numbers for the rematch with Bradley have yet to be released, but by all indications, they won't hit one million. It's likely to settle into the 800,000-to-825,000 range when the numbers are finally counted."


    Looks like you can't read :patsch
