Pac - Cotto PPV numbers : about 1.3-1.4 million

Agreed.

 

It's not irrevelant. You want to throw away the best measure of comparing draws just because you say so?atsch Common opponents are the best measuring stick it's not like these fights happened 5 years ago they're all recent. BTW I have no problem with a 50/50 split.

 

Stop it. Sound logic isn't welcomed around here.:yep

 

And Pacquiao also fough them during recession! :deal

 

Here we ****ing go again.:rofl I guess PBF fought in a time of the best economy ever? All 3 of PBF's fight were fought in an economic downturn in Oscar, Hatton and JMM. Come with something else.

 

Those high PPV numbers for Floyd are attributable to Hatton and De la Hoya not Floyd. Between Mayweather-Pacman people will be paying to see the exciting fighter Pacman, not the pot shotting safety first Mayweather who plays tag for 12 rounds throwing only a few punches a round

 

I said 2 million was possible a little while back, we'll see!!!! GREAT NEWS FOR THE SPORT!

 

Holy ****. Its decided then. Pac p4p >>>>>> PBF. Afterall hedestroyed both ODLH & Hatton, PBF couldnt even KO JMM the smaller JMM.

Common opponents are the best measuring stick afterall...lets forget the circumstances around it.

 

It doesn't matter. Pacquiao still fought then at a worse time. Had the economy been fine for all fights, both lots would have done better. The fact is than more people had less money around the time of Pacquiao's big fights.

It's not really important though. Pacquiao only became mainstream after he KOed Hatton, so it's unfair to compare, just like it would be to use Floyd/Baldo as reason why he isn't a mega draw.

 

LMFAO are u ****in ******ed atschatschatschatsch. I swear some of you fools need to take a class in basic logic. How about you compare those numbers to those of Pac's and see if it was "just Hatton and De La Hoya"??? What about PBF-Marquez doing 1mil


damn, haters grow the **** up

 

Floyd is a big draw. Going back to Pac vs Oscar, I would have said PBF was a bigger draw than Pac. But after Pac destroyed Oscar his stock went up. Pac's PPV sales were pretty much even to PBF's against Hatton, and then he knocked out Hatton in 2 rounds. His stock went up again after that fight. If Pac vs Cotto outsold PBF vs JMM, then I don't see what makes PBF a bigger draw. JMM and Cotto are both similar in terms of drawing power.

I predicted 1-1.5 million PPV sales for this event. Pimp C I think you predicted less than 700K. I think its obvious that you are underestimating Pac's drawing power.

 

Then why did all 3 have record high paydays and PPV numbers then?:deal Try something else and come again.:hi:

 

50/50 lets make this **** happen.

 

I like Pacquiao a lot, I think he's a great guy, and an incredible athlete whos got a passion for his people and what it is he does.....but what i will say is a good 25-40% of his fans, at least on ESB, are clincally ******ed

 

:good

Amazing if it did do 2 mil. They did their talking in the ring, no need to pitch it like a car salesman. They put on a good show. We need more people like them in our sport, elite fighters willing to fight for the fans.

I noticed during the broadcast HBO crew mentioned it already surpassed Marquez-Mayweather, did they get those numbers from pre-broadcast buy ins?
