Pacquiao vs Mosely Official Numbers are in!

Wasn't every Joyboys expecting Shane-Floyd to go over 2mil PPV. Hell Schaeffer was saying that it could reach as high as 4 mil.

 

yup that fight was so heavily promoted that GBP are expecting number close to 3M PPV that time.

 

A non American against a 6 to 1 underdog getting 1.3 mill ? That's impressive.
I was at the MGM closed circuit viewing in Vegas for this fight and the Mayweather v Mosley . PAC vs Mosley had over 20k people , Mosley vs Mayweather was like 4k .

Worldwide , PAC is the much bigger draw. There's a reason why PAC gets Nike and other global sponsors, while Mayweather gets nothing.

 

and the most telling is last 2 for each after the economic collapse (level playing field)

2009 2010 Floyd 2 fights jmm + smm = 2.4 million
2010 2011 Manny 2 fights Margartio 1.15 Shane 1.3min = 2.45 million

Current PPV King = Manny by half a mill

 

I don't actually think this is even the official number

1.3 million was Arum's prediction from 7-10 days ago. Got a bit of media coverage

I'd wait for the official web announcement

 

You know, Fight Hype are running this story

"Sources close to Pacquiao said "Bob Arum expects 1.3 million buys"

It's not official

 

the fight was heavily promoted by GBP and are really expecting big figures since they hyped it so much. also it was a fight between the two top americans, welters and P4P fighters where casuasl fans were led to believe that mosley would have beaten floyd.

the pac-mosley fight was not as hyped nor considered as big a fight as floyd-mosley.

 

You've also got to remember that the fight was available to purchase for 2 days. Not one. That's the figure.

Mayweathers numbers are for one night only

 

If Manny fought once every 2 years, nobody would even know he existed.

They only really know now, as his management team mention Mayweather every 2 weeks

 

its starting to hit the web now....

Impressive numbers if true

 

What is that supposed to mean

The most popular fighter in America, again, gets less PPV sales than the Mayweather

he's either more popular in America than Mayweather or not.

Evidently not

 

Examiner.com is not the web

It's a blogger, who probably read the fight hype story

It's not true until CBS post it
