    It is definitely sometimes amusing when the extremist viewpoints from both sides engage in heated back-and-forth bickering. You can't make some of this stuff up.

    Why does it matter if the fight is in China? You still buy it on HBO PPV here in the USA. So yes that is US PPV sales. The Chinese didn't buy a notable amount of PPV, else Bob would have brought it up and Pac would be fighting in China next. What is the argument here? You don't need to be in China to watch PPV. You guys do know electromagnetic waves exist and that we're no longer in the dark ages?

    Firstly, it wasn't 500k, as we all know that all #'s that come out of Arum's mouth are exaggerated. He's done it before on multiple occasions.

    EG) "Bradley and Pacquiao did well over 1 million"

    Reality: 700k

    It's more like 300-400k (Schafer confirmed this with many insiders who are familiar with the PPV systems)

    It was a horrible turnout and you know it.

    The #2 draw in boxing draws less than Martinez/Chavez JR, drawing equal to Bradley/Marquez.

    :hi:

    Mayweather fights a nobody in Guerrero and churns out 900k buys. Confirmed!

    Floyd and Pacquiao have fought multiple "non-PPV guy"s in their PPV career...

    Floyd fought a "non-PPV guy" in Robert Guerrero and had 870k PPV buys. Much better than 500k.

    American market brings in and dictates the money. Otherwise Arum wouldn't have announced the US as Pac's next fight location already.

    Yes.

    But it's not what you say, it's what you do.

    I think they have both said and done stupid things along the way.

    Floyd has SAID things that make him look stupid.

    Pacquiao has actually DONE things to block the fight.

    Bottom line to me is there was only one serious phase of negotiations, in December 2009-January 2010. And one side admittedly walked away from the table citing additional blood testing as the reason.

    Perspective. Saying things sometimes equates to doing. Was the demand for additional drug testing unprecedented at the time to my knowledge, mere words and not action? Things said and not done?

    Neither of them has exactly gone out of there way to make the fight, that much is for sure. And given the sheer magnitude of the event, I do not find either side to be trustworthy, personally.
