250k is a pretty good PPV for an unknown opponent. barrera-marquez also has the same numbers. pac-morales trilogy have made a million PPV. pac-marquez has almost 500k and pac-barrera has 375k. considering that it was in the lower weights, it is a good number for pac. i am not as impressed as to how they conduct their business but they got what they want. the biggest fault here is that they should have told arum in the first place that they want a bigger share even before the verbal agreement to avoid this drama.
pac would be bringing additional UK PPV buys here. hatton-floyd UK PPV was very good because of floyd also and not hatton alone.
Truly, the casual British boxing fan has absolutely no idea who Pac is, and only had a vague idea about PBF
of course he doesn't. 50-50 should be the highest he should get for the UK PPV. again we don't know about this 52-48 deal. my guess is it is still 50-50 with the additional part shouldered by arum to make it like 52-48. in reality, what arum did was like 52-50.
You have no idea how many friends and work colleagues who were buying the fight and I had to explain to them who Mayweather was... How many UK sales do you reckon DLH v Pacquiao did?
not really it isn't pac that brings the buy its the fact ricky is fighting a guy thats meant to be good, most of the buyers have no ****ing clue who pac is.
Voice of reason. Because if you look at it from this perspective, 50/50 just don't sound right. Both have money, one has legacy, one is given his last chance for one. People have been jumping on Pac too much, sure he didnt say some of the things tahts posted here. Arum is to blame, he got blinded by his own greed (UK ppv) that he compromised the split.
Of course it does, thats because it fits into your argumentatsch You can't say that bogus internet article is the truth because we can't find the actual figures.
