Early Estimates Have Pacquiao-Margarito at 1.4 Million PPV Buys

Third time this thread has been posted in the last few hours.

Cheers though.

 

I wish it was true but I doubt it. I think it will end up around 700-800k so that Money May can claim he is the real draw again...

Unfortunately

 

Man. you're obviously a rookie.

I remember they estimated Clottey at about 1.2 million....................

Arum just puts this crap into the media after every big fight he promotes.

It may approach a million. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up 800k?

 

Man, I aint arguing Pacquiao isn't a draw, but Floyd's averaged 1.4 million PPVs since 2006. Like every fight. Any opponent.

He is the draw in boxing. Pacquiao, in the right fight, is a draw. Not EVERY fight

 

Arums PPVs usually are projected to do 400k or so more than they actually do

 

and just like that we have floyd in this discussion

 

no way margo can make more than clottey did, though margo is more popular than clottey pre-mosley, the difference isn't that much - they are both not very popular. Add to the equation margo's inactivity.

I'd wait for the official result.

 

Man, it's just plain fact.

You can criticize Floyd for a lot of things. Selling a fight aint one of them!

 

Arum always spouts ****, mind you, if/when pac may comes off it will really be huge, like ****ing insane amount of money and coverage

 

margo has the mexican/mexican-american thing going for him, as clottey had basically nothing...so it shouldl do more than the clottey fight, imo

 

I said the same thing. But the inactivity and some factions of mexican disowned/boycotted him (plaster boy) is a setback and more than enough to equate the popularity compare to Joshua Clottey.

It's a close call in popularity, the swing should'nt exceed 50k ppv. Hence, my bet is around 650k to 750k (granted clottey made 700k).

 

why does it take so long for these ****ers to count how many were sold

 

true about the inactivity and the plaster...frankly, i have no idea what the numbers could be

 

wow if true. great figure
