    I don't know if anybody else posted it. Over 450,000 buys is a big deal, especially when most of the haters said that it wouldn't sell. Congrat boys...a rematch will sell even more.


    Pelea Cotto-Margarito fue un éxito de ventas

    jueves, 7 de agosto de 2008


    El promotor Bob Arum está como un perro con dos rabos a raíz de los resultados de la cartelera "La Batalla ", estelarizad a por Miguel Cotto y Antonio Margarito, el pasado 26 de julio en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas. Durante una visita a Los Ángeles para negociar los próximos compromisos de Manny Pacquiao y el propio Margarito, Arum señaló que los números preliminares indican que el evento fue un éxito en términos de las ventas de los sistemas pague por ver .
    "Estamos hablando de un poco más de 450,000, pero por debajo de los 500,000" , comentó Arum.
    Esa cantidad supera el mejor desempeño de Cotto como estelar en un evento pay per view que había sido de 360,000 contra Shane Mosley en noviembre de 2007.
    "Es un cuadrangular, no diría que fue con las bases llenas, pero definitivamente un cuadrangular" , dijo Arum a maxboxing.com. "Superó nuestras expectativas y eso justifica la pelea. En otras palabras, sabía que sería un gran combate, los fanáticos así lo entendieron y lo compraron", concluyó.

    450k, wow, I expected 400k but 450 is really impressive, those guys got close to 500k. Boxing is dead?, don't think so. :smoke

    If both those guys made 450k then PBF fighting the winner could make something close to 800k.

    Yup they were. That means they did around 400k. Which isn't bad either.

    I'm not suprised . . . it's one of the most anticipated fights for quite sometimes.

    Good figures. Only shows boxing is well on it's feet even without clowns like PBF.:deal

    "It's north of 450,000 and maybe a little south of 500,000."

    You sure that fight made 280k?, it made 400k last time I checked various sites. Pretty sure someone will mention the real numbers as time goes.
