TR/HBO very disappointed in Pac-ALgeri PPV numbers

Why would it be a stretch? Pacquiao fought ultra cautiously vs a punching bag in Rios, and he did'nt step on the gas vs Bradley. He has'nt turned in exciting fights since he was KTFO!

 

:rofl twiter how about some real sources you bum.

 

so what Martinez vs cotto was a complete flop you dumbass.

 

Probably same as Rios or less which was 400K, supposedly.

 

Whos going to spend $65 on that fight a week before Black Friday? Not many I would think. Hope it did not do well. PPV should be for great fights between great fighters, not just regular payday for great fighters to do whatever.

 

The fight was a joke.

 

50/50

atsch

 

Considering Algieri had NO following outside of Long Island, this is hardly surprising.

Nobody thought it would be competitive and it hardly had an enticing undercard.

Only so many people are going to pay to watch Manny Pacquiao in a complete mismatch

 

Mayorga's persona got lots of attention plus he was an ex welterweight champ (legitimate champion not just a titlist I think?), who'd fought DLH, Trinidad, Vargas and Mosley. He would have been known by anyone with even a passing interest in boxing as opposed to Algieri who was only known by hardcores.

 

And I'm very disappointed that I bought it....what can you do, I'm a junkie and I have a ridiculously hard time passing up a fight night

 

I find it hilarious that any idiot ever buys a Pacquiao or Mayweather PPV.

 

:deal

& this too

 

Can't find any source confirming this.

 

HBO should get Algieris trainer as their spokes person "The PPV numbers are exactly where we wanted them to be!!".

 

"I'ma let the PPV numbers out of their cage in the next few days..."
