    Dan Rafeal says "HBO tells me no PPV figures on #PacBradley this week because Arum out of country on family trip & they haven't talked about the numbers yet." WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION AS TO WHY HBO NEEDS TO TALK TO ARUM TO KNOW THEIR OWN NETWORK'S NUMBERS?

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    I don't believe one thing Arum says and he has a track record of trying to hide PPV numbers and not releasing them. I saw one projection of 650k which is probably close. I think Arum is claiming 1 to 1.2 million :rofl:patsch

    It makes sense to talk with Arum first. Thats just good business, especially if numbers arent great.

    Would not surprise me if the numbers are in fact around 700k. Everyone I know was watching MMA instead of PAC/Bradley, planning to catch replay.

    Networks need the permission of the promoter to release numbers. That's about it.

    I'm sure HBO and Bob Arum have that little thing most people carry around in their pockets these days; a cell phone.

    Pac who? Never heard of the bum. So I asked around, and nobody else ever heard of this bum either. They just kept saying "boxer? You mean Mayweather, yeah we heard of him."

    Did this bum fight recently or something? I can't find any threads or posts on him at all.

    Some Pacquiao fans claim that leaving the country is a sign of running scared... so those folks seem to think so.

    I'm guessing he is working on something related to the China cards?
