    How deep up your *ss did you pull that **** out from?

    You are a joke of a poster. If you got out of all the boards you post in you would be doing a noble act for the good of humanity.

    Considering both are not americans, this figure is actually good. Could this be the biggest US PPV buys involving non-american fighters?

    Pac simply wasn't as popular back then as he is now yet he made some very respectable PPV numbers in the past so I can imagine Pac-JMM 3 to be bigger than Floyd-JMM based on Pac's popularity today.

    That's why I think it would be unfair to compare Floyd-JMM PPV sales to Pac-JMM 2.

    Floyd and Hatton has a bigger fan base then JMM
    JMM is just the guy that almost beat pacman with a small following

    offical numbers have not and will not be released. dan rafael got his quote from either HBO or top rank but he did not see the offical documents or the buy rates from the cable companies. dan is a journalist if you for instance work for top rank or hbo and dan the journalist walks up to you and asks for the ppv numbers you can tell him anything because the offical number has not been released:deal

    if the fight did 500,000 buys or even 700,000 buys why wouldn't top rank release the numbers. they damn sure released them for pac vs hoya:admin

    and all this crap about bob arum being embarrased is crap. bob is a business man he knows that if he relseaed the real numbers which based on my source where around 600,000 then he would have no leverage in a pac vs floyd fight.

    telling dan rafael it was 850,000 makes it seem like a pac vs floyd split should be more even. in reality the fight needed to do 850,000. and did far less hence the silence.

    and by the way do you really think floyd is going to negotiate with top rank without having real numbers and buys:deal

    floyd knows how to get the real numbers and so bob and hbo just want to create the illusion of pac being this ppv monster they want to keep the hype going:thumbsup

    The same way When Hatton v Pac fight was beeing set up it almost end up not to go on. when Floyed wins in their JMM fight he will not settle for
    a 50/50 split and both of them wants higher than the other this might cost
    the fight not to happen.
