The Pac/JMM III fight is not confirmed. I don't know if we should consider the 1.3 million for the Showtime Pac/Mosley fight either. The Mayweather/Ortiz 1.25 million was a little less sketchy, but still unreliable I feel. I bet both are exaggerated. Pac/Margarito 1.15 mil Mayweather/Marquez 1 mil Mayweather/Hatton 900 k Pac/Clottey 700 k
That's another topic. We're talking PPV buy numbers here and not considering gross sales, net sales, profit, etc.
All those PPV´s were the same price :huh Id like know how much money each of those generated. Also, why the **** is Pacquiao Marquez 3 up there ?
Sure, and it comes up with one very simple solution: Mike Tyson was the greatest P4P PPV attraction to ever live, bar none.
True, plus i dont even know much his PPV´s cost. Maywaether Ortiz was expensive and that why it generated so much money.
Interesting that Pac has now snuck onto that list 3 times, same number De La Hoya appears. Another hard to believe fact is that Pac currently has sold more PPVs than DLH had at the same age. And he has the Mayweather fight coming up hopefully. I remember not very long ago on ESB debating with people who were adament Pacquiao wasn't on De La Hoya's level as PPV star. Weird to think he could very well end up the biggest non-heavyweight PPV star of all-time. That was unimaginable when he went up against the seemingly unsurpassable Oscar only a few years ago.
Pacquiao is gradually rising to the top... Sooner or later, his fight will be at the top 1 boxing PPV event... I figure Mayweather wouldn't like that...:bbb
I don't think Pac/JMM did anything close to 1.5. No way. The fight was seen as a mismatch. If it did, that would really put Pac in a new territory.
In 1971 an estimated 300 million people worldwide went to movie theatres and paid to see the Ali-Frazier I match.....isn't that considered pay-per-view? The De La Hoya and Tyson numbers seem palty by comparison.
