    That usually means not very well, if its a big number they can't wait to release them.

    There's no "schedule" to which they're released. Relax guys. Even if they're lower then expected, to which you seem to be alluding to, they are still going to be released no matter what.

    Its funny because paclanders were using this as an excuse to why Pac shouldnt fight JMM in an immediate rematch. They said Pac would make the same purse which from what i understand was 3 mil for Diaz and 5 for JMM 2. JMM 2 had around 525K PPV buys and im sure this probably didnt crack 250K.

    Now they cant say it was a smart business decision.

    I read on another website it did around 175,000 buys... don't know how accurate the source was.

    I don't think it did very well in the PPV sales dept . . . but still . . . you can't say that it's not a good business decission. Pac got a fourth title officially in that fight, which means he will command a very high purse next time he fights. And besides . . . the purse Pac earns maybe only half of what he earns in the exclusive T.V. rights in his own country.

    It took more than 2 weeks to figure out the final PPV buys for Pac/JMM2, so it should be for awhile more.

    525000 buys. If what i read above is right and it seems to be somewhat accurate then it did less than half of JMM 2. Im sure the immediate rematch if there had been one would have made way over 525000 too. That fight made alot of mexicans respect JMM. Now around here they are all big fans.

    Yeh it seemed like most everyone on this site sopcasted the fight, which is usually a good indication that buys #s will be low. I will guess 200K
