HBO says Pac-Rios final ppv number at 475,000

foreign market i think and plus the opponent

 

**** matchup with a **** undercard. Gotta love all these *******s trying to blame the low PPV numbers on the fight being in China as if that makes any difference whatsoever. The fight was shown here live on Saturday night just like nearly every other boxing PPV, you ****ing morons.

 

For Bob and HBO to take the risk of putting on a foreign PPV event somewhere like Macau China the hosts woukd have had to come to the table with some greenbacks. Bob did not lose money on this event.....he just didn't break the bank.

 

:deal

 

It's true the undercard plays a major role but still $475,000 is terrible for Pacquiao's return. Think it would have been difficult to host a solid undercard and get other exciting names to fly over to China or maybe they were looking to maximize profit. I expect Arum to do a better job in Pacquiao's next fight and hopefully they return back to America for it.

 

Agreed.

 

Foreign market, HUH? A few hours away from the Phils according to broadcasting crew. I thought Pac was a mega star in Asia and that he would never fight again in the USA because of taxes?
