If this sis true then I am impressed b/c Bradley brought no one to the table. Even though the 24/7 was all him hyping the fight up. 900000 buys are a lot but I think Bob Arum is full of ****. That fight probably did more in the range of 700 000 - 825 000
The fight in SD was $54.95 Plus Tax in Ca our Tax is 9.75% so that makes for basically a bill for 65 bux. Subtract 40 dollars for the Tecate Rebate leaving you with 25 dollars for the fight. So the fight made 22,500,000 in PPV revenue thats if Bob Arum is telling the truth, however they were also offering a 55$ Visa card if you order the fight which would basically mean the fight made 9 mil in PPV, Question is how many people did take advantage of the rebate? How many people used that wire transfer? what are the chances some or alot of people used both? I think the PPV numbers for this fight mean nothing they gave a huge rebate on the fight in other words I dont think it made much PPV money
could you Imagine if it was Floyd V.s Bradley and it Did these #'s the **** The pac Fans Would be Saying??? But its Cool By their Standards Anything For pac Under 1 Million is Good( then they make some B.S Excuse) Anything for Floyd that's Not over 1.2 Million Is a Flop
Well this is progress here, as obviously by the way they View the two they expect More out of Floyd because they know he is the draw :goodwe are making forward progress here thats a good sign
atsch This is the same clown that said Pac\Marquez did 1.3 buys yet he doesnt want to release the actual #'s...Arum, nobody believes you but the stans of Pac.
Same with GBP who claimed Mayweather-Ortiz did 1.2 M. Steve Kim reported 890K. HBO won't release the real numbers.
Will wait to see if HBO releases numbers, but 900K isn't bad at all.. He's not getting 50/50 and knew that as soon as he signed up to fight Bradley.. But still if 900K is real that's a good number of fans tuned in.
Those people are confused, anything near a million is a good ppv in this economy. Floyd's ppv's just do extremely well and people will find any reason to not give him credit.
HBO released an official statement concerning Mayweather v Ortiz and said the number was 1.25 million. Furthermore, this was verified by Forbes when they put Mayweather as the highest earning athlete in the world. There is NO question that Mayweathers PPV's are legit numbers. Arum will not allow any official PPV numbers to be released on his fighters so we will never know for sure when Pac Man fights. 900,000 would be pretty good, but not Pac Man good. The fight was probably in the 750-800,000 range if Arum is saying 900K.
