coz they have different business model? how do you measure success? you have expenses, then you have gross rev. if the gross happens to be considerably higher than the expenses, then that;s successful from a financial perspective. then there's success from a sport or legacy perspective. fight is decent although algieri is young and has good boxing skills and can take a punch. plus boxers are known to be pac's achilles heel. though, relatively unknown until recently, he could turn to give pac all he can handle. then there'\s this reputation aspect. pac is known to be averaging close to a million, by his standards, anything below that could be seen as mediocre or a flop depending on how low it is from his average. now youve flopjr. 600k-700k, is a major flop financial wise. no explaination needed. legacy wise, madona is a bum and was handicapped, again no explanation needed. basing on his previous outings, 600-700k is way his usual numbers. major flop for both choketime and tmt. the only that won is flopjr the boxer with his guaranteed purse (if indeed, it is guaranteed) but with amount of money he is going to shell out in the coming weeks/months, who knows how much is left. also, provo just loss. you know what people say if pac fights him instead of the guy who just won.
there is no way that fight did 700k. no fking way. sht fight , sht promotion, sht all around. I have paid for one May PPV when he fought Canelo(even that i got it for free cause the cable kept fking up).
It's a little different. Sure.....we as boxing fans in the US have been privileged to watch a few really big draws. We've had guys like Tyson, Holyfield......guys like De La Hoya and Floyd........you see any pattern? They are all US born fighters! For a guy like Manny to even compete and at sometime beat an American born fighter in US PPV buys is nuts! Sure......Manny's PPV numbers took a dive after the KO loss to Marquez, but Floyd hasn't lost. What's his excuse for the dive in his PPV numbers?
Manny Pacquiao isn't even a top 10 boxing related search term on Baidu, but somehow Mayweather is. So much for that dumbass "Pacquiao has all Asia behind him" mantra.
what the hell do u mean he's no longer the ppv king? he still holds the record for the highest grossing ppv fight in history TWICE, and his fights are still bigger than anything anyone else can do, so how exactly is he not the ppv king? the pacquiao fight wont do better than 300k so floyd is still and forever will be the greatest prize fighter of all time. :deal
You spew a bunch of garbage, you don't even know what your talking about. Rios also lost to alvarado and pac fought him next so your point makes no sense.
pac-bradley2 800k+ flopjr-madona2 600k+ if you go by the history: dela hoya 2.5kk and new.......................................................................... ........ppv king....................................................................:rofl:hi:
He alzo fought mosley after a draw to bum Sergio mora and a loss to floyd (no wins prior to fighting pac) Rios vs pac was a huge flop and even Bob arum showed proof of this by throwing his fits I'm the bradley press tour. Floyd has a higher net worth than pac, so he is more successful period. If Floyds fight did flop he is still 2 times as more successful as pac. This is nonsense posting and a deep attempt to discredit floyd. Like I said I'm glad it flopped if it did because it was a garbage fight as pacquiao's next fight is also. I admit Floyds last fight was garbage but *******s will never criticize pac even when it is warranted. Then progay is on here calling showtime "choketime" so now he also hates showtime, a ****1ng network simply because they work with floyd. Just shows how much of a troll progay is. *******s act like Pac had no other choices then pillow fisted chris. Don't forget golden boy tried to make mares vs donaire but Bob arum stood in the way. Bob Arum also prevented ggg vs Chavez for trying to force him to sign a extension with Top Recycle again. Bob Arum is responsible for these **** fights and for pac being broke. But *******s will defend Bob only because idiot pac works with him. If pac left only then will *******s discredit snake arum from top recyle.
depends how you measure success. thats financial success. pac is also a successful politician with a successful politicain wife. and now soon to be successful basketball coach.:good meanwhile flopjr is sued by his former wife and now his former ho.:rofl
idiot. pac was just kod. dont get butthurt your hero's ppv event was a disaster. and new................................................:rofl:hi:
You didn't mention his successful mistress progay and duck master. Net worth includes over all earnings Again him being a politician is a joke and you know that. No one except fanboys consider him a real politician. Floyd could get sued by everyone and I wouldn't care. I talk boxing not tmz like you. Bet your panties get wet just seeing pac on tv with his sorry singing. Bet you have all his movies (which Freddie roach admits they suck).
im not saying earnings as a politician you idiot. im saying running for office and getting elected and serving his people. he is known to spend his own money to help his countrymen. that's real politician to me. there is no divorce in phils. men fall inlove many times in their lives m arried or not, fact of life. only gay like you cling to your one and only bf. youre a *****. youre the kind who breathes ppv buys. who are you fooling. btw, he is also a successful product endorser, which flopjr couldnt ever been.:deal
