well someone already claimed the projection was too optimistic. even dan's number are still optimistic. it might, key word might, hit high of 800's, key words high of 800's. not close to 900. it means, the number is actually to closer 850 than 900. choice of words aka, spin.
Still the 5th highest gate total in Nevada state history... with empty seats. But yeah, my guess was around 700 K PPV buys.
They always inflate the numbers for Floyd and Manny whenever they give us the preliminary projections. If they say it's a million.....then it's more like 900k. So this fight probably sold low to mid 800k. But they made up for some lost revenue by inflating the price of the PPV.
the fact he dislikes him and doesn't provide any proof or accuses him of slander despite being in the position of knowing is highly suspicious in my point of view. the number is skeptical because there was really no reason for people to buy this fight at the price they put up.
Pac vs Algeri is a debacle. 400k would be a success considering the typical bush undercard Top Rank is so infamous for along with another overseas event.
there will be china ppv this time. and pac;s purse is guaranteed by venetian which they will easily recoup via gate and uptick in gaming revenue. and new......................................................:rofl
site fee. venetian is paying a lot. given the fact that it attracts the gullible chinese betting public and whales to bet on fight and to visit macau, pacquiao can be afforded that luxury. i also believe the tax laws are favorable there too. not everything is defined by ppv numbers.
