    They said PBF-JMM did 1.5 millions buys at first but it was later changed to 1 million. Most likely the numbers will be revised I will wait for the final numbers from HBO.

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rey Colón of the ´El Vocero´ of Puerto Rico reported that the welterweight mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto generated approximately 2 million pay-per-view buys generating at least $120 million. No word on what Pacquiao´s cut will be but Cotto was mentioned to be making at least $10 million minimun.[/FONT]

    If Arum said it's about 1,4 it is in fact probably about 1,2.

    If this was really 2 millies, Arum would say 2,5 millie.

    Simple as that.

    Floyd is already making excuses for this PPV possibly doing more.

    "Cotto-Pac suppose to do more than PBF-JMM, I had no dance partner, they both have fan bases"

    Yet going back to Brian Kenny interview:

    "I picked JMM over Mosley because JMM is a big draw, he has a country behind him, a country".

    Trash.

    Sorry but that's irrelevant, Pacquiao has become way more popular after his fight against Hatton.
    And JMM has a bigger fanbase than Cotto, if Pac/Cotto does more it's because Pac is a bigger draw than Floyd.


    But I still think a 50/50 split is still fair. This fight wouldn't be as big as it is without either one.

    Pac/Cotto didnt need any hype. They both delivered. 2 gentlemen can sell a fight. I hope boxing goes in this direction instead of these thrash talking assholes making a mockery of the sport.
