MAY/PAC 2: Pacquiao releases video "we're negotiating for rematch with Floyd"

I know, I'm sorry. But Pac's next opponent is a credible topic and we probably just got a hint.

It was announced by Steve Kim today that the new MGM Arena was holding a date for Mayweather's return for April 9th... which is the date that Pacquiao coincidentally is announced to return on.

Also, a while back, Pacquiao told reporters that he and Mayweather were negotiating for a rematch. Arum was questioned about it and called it all BS and probably a mistranslation.

Perhaps the one saying the BS was Arum.

Pacquiao JUST released a video on Facebook updating fans about his next opponent. He says he is in negotiations for a rematch with Mayweather.

"I don't know about my next opponent. We're still negotiating right now about the rematch with Floyd Mayweather, so hoping for that."

So, is Mayweather and Pacquiao negotiating as it was reported a few weeks back?

And it's clear to me that Pac doesn't give two f's regarding Crawford or Khan. He wants Mayweather and only Mayweather. I'd say Floyd feels the same as well which is hilariously ironic considering their feelings for each other a few years ago.

I unblocked you. Make it count.

Not a failure. Not a screaming success. Covered all bases and did just what it needed to do to get everyone paid and continue the GGG push.

In details, I'd say it's not bad considering it's post May/Pac, in between two major ppv fights (Mayweather/Berto and Canelo/Cotto), had relatively unknown fighters without a single american star, competed with two huge sporting events at the same time (USC/Notre Dam and Mets/Cubs), and had little promotional help by HBO.

People need to remember GGG is not a PPV star yet so there is no reason to hold him to the standard of actual PPV stars.

 

No, I went with Loeffler's number. I really didn't know what to except, tbh. My expectations surprisingly dropped the closer it got to the fight. Like, my brother goes to Notre Dame, so when I heard his game was against USC that night... I did feel my stomach sink a bit, lol.

One thing I knew for certain going in was GGG not being mainstream. He's not, he's not. He's getting there, but he's not yet. Only mainstream stars should be on PPV because it's a mainstream ordeal.

I was predicting that they'd make around 9 million bucks, and they made about 7.5-8 million in PPV revenue. Plus, taking into account of the presale record, merchandise record, the gate revenue, and international gross, as WELL as the PPV then they didn't do bad at all. Like it was said, they either met or succeeded in the benchmarks that was placed for GGG. For PPV, that benchmark was met.

Also, 97K was a lie. That's already be straightened out by official, credible reporters who called it "a figment of someone's imagination". No credibility to it at all. The official number is a couple thousand over 150K.

 

You're about to get blocked again.

150x60=7.5 million, round it to 8 since it has officially been said to have made a couple thousands above 150.

So 8 million.

Half goes to cable companies. 4 million.
Half goes to promoters. 4 million.
GGG gets 2 million, Lemieux gets 1.5 million, split everything else up for the undercard. Everyone got paid.

That's just PPV revenue, and doesn't include anything else and it still got everyone paid.

If Loeffler was lying don't you think he'd release a much higher number?

And GGG was breaking records.

He broke the presale record and merchandise record. That's proof of him being a boxing star. PPV star is different as I've said many, many times.

That's all I'm saying to you regarding this matter. It's not even the topic of this thread.
