    Simple question, not hate. Did Bob Arum ever officially release the numbers, if so what was it?

    You can't tust Arum when it comes to PPV numbers the guy is a liar. A lot of times he doesn't release them or he pumps them up more than they were.

    I believe it was 900 US and 325 UK, Arum wasn't the one that released it.

    You sure it only did 325 k in the UK. Thats quite low considering hatton v mayweather did well over a million buys in the UK alone.

    So says Arum.

    You guys don't believe anything Don King says.....but Arum can sell you mofos **** on wheat bread.:rofl

    Top Rank has been reeling since Oscar and Mayweather defected.:deal

    If Hatton/Manny did 900,000 buys Arum would have those numbers carved in the side of a ****in mountain....:yep:yep:yep


    The numbers to that fight were too hard to find..They weren't plastered everywhere like you'd think if the fight did that well.


    Bob doesn't want the world(or his fighters) to know he can't outsell the FIGHTERS HE LET GET AWAY:deal:deal:deal:hi::hi::hi:

    What interests me more than the US sales is the ppv sales in the UK.

    Mayweather V Hatton did over a million UK buys.

    Pac V Hatton someone quoted as doing only 325 UK. That is a significant difference.

    Different economical climate though. That needs to be taken into consideration. I also think Mayweather-Hatton was promoted better. The bad blood between the camps before the fight and Mayweather's actions in Manchester with the Man Utd shirt probably helped sell ppv's. Especially with Hatton being a City fan

    Its a whole lot better than 2 guys who are planning to knock each other out playing darts. Both of them during the tour seemed to nice. If Mayweather is up against a big opponent...the dude will sell a fight. You got to give him credit for that.

    I remember Dan Rafael got them and released them in an article he wrote and he said Arum called him and cussed him out because of it. Arum is a joke. He does not want the public to know that PBF outsold Pac against BOTH DLH and Hatton. Anyone with a brain knows that anyway.
