The biggest circus show in the history! jawk http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_y...ug=ki-boxingmailbag120908&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
1.5 million...nice...2.4 million is the record...hell Oscar has held 3 of the 4 biggest fights with Trinidad, Floyd, and Manny... 1.5 mil for manny, 1.9 mil for trinidad, and 2.4 mil for floyd
Not bad for Manny. He's the only lightweight who reach the level. Not to mention the world's financial condition.
Here's my favorite point that he made: 7. Ricky Hatton is Pacquiaos likely next opponent. And hes going to learn very quickly that, Theres only one Manny Pacquiao.
Earlier they thought 2 mil, the economy hit the tank and they said WTF. I think people were guesstimation even 1 to 1.2 million, so I think they willl be happy with 1.5. The **** is bad right now.
Kevin Iole is a good boxing coverage guy ever since Royce Feour (sp) retired. I think Iole used to be the beat writer for the Review Journal. Check out the LVsun's coverage of the fight. Great multimedia and articles.
none. they do not count ppv buys here. because they are priced differently and not all cable providers offer ppv, and it was also shown on a delayed basis on free tv
