    i think what had happened was....bob took the ppv numbers...then added the number of viewers who watched the replay the following week to it....the extra 150,000 who watched the replay fell asleep and forgot to change the channel

    If Bob feels this way then why did he have two Pacquiao-Bradley PPV's? And last I checked Maidana's not Mexican or a PPV star and I'm sure that will do way more numbers

    Guys, this is no reason to rejoice . . . if this is true its bad for the sport. Like it or not Manny is the number two draw and if he cant top a million buys that goes a long way to make a statement about the health of the sport. Personally was hoping for around 1.2 million buys (like arum) and thought it could get their because of the back story and the redemption theme.

    Let's face it, most black people talk a whole lot, but when it comes to paying for something, it most likely ain't happening.

    LMFAO ... all the excuses. When Tyson, Hagler, Hearns, Holyfield, Leonard fought, everyone was buying fights. Tyson was boxing PPV. Holyfield was PPV. They were breaking records like crazy, just like Floyd is today. Enough of the excuses already. Put on better fights, people will pay.

    Pac is a cherry picking pretender.

    Bradley can't sell tickets and he was beaten handily the first time anyway. Crawford will get 15K to see him in Omaha and Bradley couldn't get 3K to see him v. Ruslan.
