Pac-Clottey - 700k PPV buys

Pretty good number all things considered.
without the hbo machine behind it you can be happy that a fight can do this well.

 

In the big scheme of things since everyone wants to talk about how much fighters and promoters make..... As far as money spent promoting in relation to money earned.... I'm sure Arum and Co. did very well on this... they spent **** and made a nice chunk...

 

Who just steps backwards? ... go from 1.25 back down to 700k ... wow ...

 

24/7 = 2 hours of advertising.

It has helped every fight it has been associated with.

 

Well floyd lost 1.5 million buys when he went from oscar to hatton.....

did that bother you?

 

It sells... People like to cheer on fighters with good hearts that come from the slums....

 

Tell that the Jones Jr/Calzaghe!

 

lol alot of people step backwards. You can't sell 1.25 Million and up in every fight

Even Oscar's numbers went backwards several times.

 

well, Top Rank sells the PPV to HBO, then sells the fight internationally to a whole heap of countires that arent HBO, that arent necessarily ppv. and those countries are alot- Don King used o sell tyson to 200 different countries. but these numbers are hard to tabulate because you have so many different companies to tabulate from. its a shame they dont.

 

24/7 has nothing to do with it ... it wasn't the fight that people wanted to see ... it just proves that Mayweather is the cash cow of boxing and that all roads really lead to him ...

 

You just said you can't believe pac took a step back in ppv numbers.


Guess what mayweather lost since his oscar fight?
1.5 million buys.

His next fights didn't even hit the halfway mark.
The only person to come close was pac with cotto.

 

in the grand scheme of things- Pacquiao filled a stadium with 50 000 alone , when a month earlier it took 24 nba stars to take it to 100 000.

and alone, he sold 700 000 when we all know- it takes 2 stars to exceed a million.

he may not be the ppv king. so what. boxing is doing well.

 

Don't worry Floyd's next fight will crush PAC best ever fight in regards to PPV totals. That will make two Floyd fights that destroys PAC best PPV result.

I can see it now, Shane was the reason this fight was a huge success. BWWWHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

and to anyone that doubts the power of the international market, look no further than the Pacquiao Hatton fight, where it did 850 000 locally, and a MILLION alone in the UK, not counting the Billion peope or so in Asia and South east asia AND Australasia,

According to Dan Rafael of ESPN, the May 2nd bout between boxing superstars Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand, was a huge success in terms of PPV buys, selling an estimated 825,000 domestic PPV (Pay per view) buys for the fight and it could go as high as 850,000, bringing in nearly fifty million. Rafael says that the PPV numbers in England could reach one million buys. The numbers are incredible when you look at the timing, which is coming with the economy in the tank and many people out of work.
