    this was the reason why pac-dlh didn't get as much buys. most are saying pac was going to get killed. this is the reason why that win is one of pac's biggest.

    i guess pac-dlh was before you started watching boxing.

    at the time it was announced, pac was given less chance to win against dlh than algieri against pac.

    Pacquiao was P4P #1 by Ring Magaizine

    The fight sold out in less than 45 minutes

    The fight had over a million buys (only the 4th time a non heavyweight match has done that at the time, and the other 3 included Dela Hoya)

    Neither combatant fought for a title that night

    Highest grossing PPV that year


    Yeah, keep thinking that fight flopped :patsch

    ppv would have been higher if that fight when first announced wasn't perceived as a mismatch.

    MAB came out and called it a circus.

    a bill was introduced in the phil congress to prohibit pac in taking that fight.

    very few pacfans on esb thought pac had a chance.

    I remember when people were talking about boycotting the fight. A lot of people thought pac was going to get murdered because oscar still had punching power and pac was jumping up two weight classes.

    "pac will get murdered with the jab alone" was a very much accepted opinion here on esb when the fight was first announced.
