    If so, how can people say Pac is an international star? On top of it, supposedly ony 8,000 people came to a 12,000 seat venue. What gives?

    I predicted between 200k and 250k... 450k for the 2 Top Rank PPVs, Pac and Cotto... 200 is pretty low but the fight shouldn't had to be PPV at all... if Cotto-Margarito does 200k, now that's gonna be disappointing. I'm predicting 200-250k this time as well, don't expect more than that.

    I don't think any TV station in Europe was interested. Maybe Eurosport or something because they have all kinds of sma time boxing on there, but none of the national TV companies and usual providers were interested as far as I know - like ITV, Sentana, RTL, TV3 etc. In Australia noone bothered buy it either. I really don't know anywhere in the world except where the fighters came from and where it was held that bought it. Was there actually anywhere? :huh

    Pacqauiaos fans alone bought the PPV David Diaz doesnt have a following, So I wouldnt smash Pacquiao for the short numbers here the die hard fans knew better than to order this

    PBF-Baldo had a countdown. Pac-Diaz didnt even get a countdown. The difference in the amount that went to the promotion is vast.

    It's not huge, but it's not as bad as you guys are making it to be.

    BArrerra vs. Juarez did less then Pac vs. Diaz....just goes to show you need 2 recognizable names to get the big buys.

    Barrera-Fana did 90k I believe. Tyson-Williams did 350k. Takes 2 to tango.

    250K is very good considering the purses that were on the card and the lack of promotion that went into it.
