Pacquiao-Cotto does 1.25 million pay-per-view

Joe Calzaghe "Boxing is dead without me" LOL remember that?

 

What the **** does that have to do with anything. Pac has a huge fan base in america. You think only pino's support pacatsch

 

Of course it doesnt anything to do with it nut

thats why all the top selling fights involve at least one american fighter.

Kill yourself already.

 

Arum never said $2Mill...he actually shot that number down in an interview but said he expected $1.5 b/c NY PPV numbers were not yet in at the time. Actually Arum has more vested in lower PPV's for PAC, lie or not...so that he can ensure a fight with FLoyd does happen. If PAC did 2 Mill....no way would PAC and Roach go for a 50/50 split with Floyd with those numbers and no way in hell would floyd agree to a lesser amount.

 

Plus it cost $54.95 compare to floyd/jmm's $49.95.

 

Im gonna be honest, im impressed but not that impressed due to the fact we were having threads of 2 mill ppv buys.

 

Your an idiot, Pac has come into the American limelight due to his fight with dela hoya.

The american public have adopted him as their own. That can clearly be seen in his ppv sales now

So i repeat what the **** does him not being an american have to do with anything anymore.atsch

 

Its going to be hard for Pac to actually argue that he deserves the largest piece of the pie in negociations now. If he sticks to his deserving 60% it is clear he doesn't want to fight Floyd, because in reality Floyd sold 1 mil PPVs on his own and Pac did marginally better with Cotto and himself.

 

The 2mil was confirmed to be nonsense by Arum couple of days ago, it wasnt him who reported it. He guessed around 1.3-1.4mil...so he's off by 50k.

 

You do realise the pac fight was a championship fight, with 2 belts on the line?

The other fight was a tune up. No belt, a returning star against what you guys say a blown up lightweight:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I have a quote of him saying the ppv buys was north of 1.4nut:nut

 

thats true dela hoya carried a lot of fighters including Mayweather who got carried most.

 

You know how many Mexicans bought the Floyd JMM--ALOT! You know how many UK people bought the Floyd Hatton fight--ALOT! Same with ODH. Dont get me wrong, Floyd is a draw, but he is not the main reason people buy PPV. It has to be him vs a big name. If Floyd fought Mosley, guarantee the PPV not nearly close to what Pac does. Pac and Floyd are bigger PPV draws. Floyd needs to recognize that hes not ODH or Tyson when it comes to PPV/HBO draws, and that he needs a big name to bring in big numbers. This is in stark contrast to ODH, who at his height could have fought a nobody and would still be huge PPV. Only problem is ODH always tried to beat the best, unlike good ol Floyd. Just a thought, maybe thats one of the reasons ODH was so popular, he was always willing to make the big fights and fight the best, win or lose. Maybe Floyd will take note.

 

For a fight with no american or mexican fighters that is amazing.

 

You're the most pathetic poster on this forum.

you predicted it would make 600.000 buys and the fight end up doing double than that.

and you're here crying cause it didnt make 2 million atsch
