Pac-Clottey - 700k PPV buys

http://www.examiner.com/x-20066-Pit...10m3d24-Pacquiaos-drawing-power-still-growing

Some were disappointed with the 700,000 buys that the event attracted, but to the industry insiders, this figure was a resounding success.

Most pay per view experts were predicting less than 500,000 buys given that Clottey was a relative unknown and that the fight everyone wanted, Pacquiao vs, Mayweather had fallen through.

Mark Taffett of HBO said of the event:

“It is a testament to the popularity of Pacquiao and the vitality of the sport, and it gives us great encouragement as we look toward the May 1 Mayweather-Mosley pay-per-view fight.”

“Fights like this traditionally do not exceed 400,000 buys,”

 

Given floyd's unparalleled PPV skills, I would say from 2.8 to 3 million buys.

 

You underestimate Floyd!

Hater!

 

Ohhhh, with a 24/7 and promotion?!?!


1.1 billion buys.

 

that brings the confidence back to his boys. they can go to sleep now, in peace, knowing that Floyd is the biggest PPV draw.:yep

 

golfers thought before leaving somebodys bout,

:huh i thought golf is boring, this is worse.

 

its a good buy i think for a ...........

shity ass promotion
shity undercard fights
only the hardcore boxing fans know of clottey
no hbo 247 to hype it up either

id say it was manny fighting and that new cowboy stadium had alot to do with it.its was good.i know they wanted more but they cant be mad for what they got.

 

so much for Pac on the negotiating table when it comes to ppvs. He's done. He better settle for 45-55 split with Mayweather.

 

Hear hear!

He better start begging floyd for table scraps, pac ain't worth **** anymore.

All hail the PPV god, money may!

 

purse split Floyd 70% = Pac 30% and it's fair.:good

 

MAYBE too pinoys but REAL BOXING FANS LOVED IT.........its just hate because pac fans know how easy PBF beat JMM. JMM got robbed both times agains't PAcy peds

1 million REAL BOXING FANS LOVE watching a joke mismatch Floyd fight. FACT.
