The US PPVs of Mayweather-Hatton DID NOT OUT-SOLD the US PPVs of Pacquiao-Hatton

Why did Arum not release official numbers? Because it was a let down.

 

I dont think philboxing is a website to be going off of for Pac stuff. The articles they write on there are so biased i stopped reading them.

 

Mayweather-Hatton and Pacquiao-Hatton did virtually the same amount of buys on PPV, though Mayweather-Hatton may have had a slight advantage. Originally, both were said to have done between 825k-850K domestically, and final tallies had both coming in a littler over 900k.

 

You aren't kidding. Check out this article;

Las Vegas, NV:- Almost everything that was expected did happen this weekend at the MGM Grand.

First, Floyd Mayweather Jr. was booed incessantly by the Mexican crowd that paid hard-earned money to see their boxing idol, Juan Manuel Marquez, takes a shot at greatness.

Second, Floyd Mayweather Jr., beat the Mexican “Dinamita”. He won via a wide UD over 12 rounds proving true the old adage- “a good big man will almost always beat a good small man”. Along the way he also scored a quick flash knockdown in round two.

Everyone expected a Mayweather victory particularly after he came in bigger than his Mexican foe during the weigh-in and possibly out-weigh him by more than 10 pounds at fight night.

Third, as many predicted, in spite of all the hard work of the good people at GBP, the MGM Grand was far from being sold-out and filled to the brim. The number of fans who saw the fight live is nowhere near the number of those who came when Pacquiao fought Marquez. Even the press room was missing a few familiar faces that routinely cover events like these and surprisingly, they did not announce the attendance either.

With the victory, Mayweather earned himself three great fights if he stays in the fight business just like he said when he declared that he is back.

First, with Shane Mosley. But since Mayweather abhors risks, Mosley may have to wait until hell freezes over. Mayweather will find ways to avoid this fight because he knows amongst the legitimate welterweights who can match up with him, Mosley is the most dangerous.

Mayweather loves himself too much to risk a beat down by Mosley, thus if he cannot avoid Mosley, he will make him wait a while and also ask for the lion’s share of the pot.

Then there is Antonio Margarito. By next year, the Mexican slugger’s suspension will be over and he will be available to fight Mayweather.

A fight with Margarito may be more palatable to Mayweather. He stands a great chance to beat him but definitely not the way he beat the Mexican lightweight Juan Manuel Marquez.

Margarito may have lost to Mosley but he may also be out to prove that he learned from his mistakes and may take out his frustrations from being suspended on Mayweather making a Mayweather-Margarito fight very exciting.

If Mayweather gets by Mosley and Margarito, then a great year-end fight for 2010 should be with Manny Pacquiao.

A fight with Pacquiao will be a blockbuster. It could even be the fight of this generation and one that will wipe the slate clean and show who really is the best pound4pound.

But arranging a Pacquiao-Mayweather tiff is easily said than done.

We all know how Mayweather loves himself and his huge ego will prevent him from taking the back seat behind Pacquiao.

Mayweather would surely ask for the bigger piece of the pie just like he did with Marquez.

But that is not going to happen. And rightly so!

Pacquiao now holds the p4p title vacated by Mayweather and he is no. 1. Therefore, if one is to get a bigger slice, it should be Pacquiao.

Others may disagree with my assertions but that is just the facts.

What he did to an over-matched Marquez notwithstanding, for Mayweather to solidly claim the p4p title again, he must convincingly earn it on top of the ring by beating Pacquiao. Then he can ask for everything he wants. No questions asked.

Mayweather publicly say that he will fight anyone, but deep inside he may not want to fight Pacquiao. And he will give all the excuses not to make the fight happen - like asking for ridiculous purse split skewed in his favor. Then he will blame others for not making it happen.

Contrary to his assertions that “all roads lead to Mayweather”, when the Pacman is concerned, the roads are not totally opened. Pacquiao is too risky.

Pacquiao maybe smaller than Mayweather but if Mayweather fights him on a even basis and without coming in above the stipulated weight limit, he stands a chance of getting his ass kicked by the Filipino spitfire.

So there they are-the best three fights Mayweather earned by beating an over-matched Marquez.

The question is: Will Mayweather overcome his huge ego and take them one at a time for the benefit of boxing and the fans?

I certainly hope so!


This **** is hilarious

 

The irony here is, even if those numbers are true, this Pinoy nuthugger is arguing life and death over 15K PPV buys.

Forget the fact that Mayweather-DLH doubled Pac-DLH in PPV sales.
Forget the fact that Mayweather-Marquez most likely tripled Pac-Marquez in PPV sales.

But never, I mean NEVER, forget the 15K difference between Mayweather-Hatton and Pac-Hatton.

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

The best thing though is from the Pac Tards.

When Mayweather fought Hatton. Hatton was the reason the fight was so successful PPV wise.

When Pac fought Hatton.

Pac was the reason it was successful, not Hatton. Lmao.

 

So what?, no one cares. We know Mayweather is a huge draw after all the nonsense people said and how Arum and Roach shamelessly went out and said they will be surprised if it made 200k. We know who the draw is, let's see more fights come. People should ignore money and all that crap, we want to see big fights. Bring on Mosley/Mayweather next and hopefully Pac/Cotto winner after it. Paying too much attention to money nonsense ruins good fights.

 

Now a few loyalists are slowly hinting Marquez was the reason that PPV with Mayweather is big.

 

Bazooka just hinted that Marquez was the reason the fight did so much in PPV buys over in the lounge.

Here's his quote to Pimp C

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

What is the point of trying to reorder history?

 

So Michael Koncz(Pac's advisor), reported told some cat in a coffee shop that the numbers reached 930,000. Those numbers override the 850,000 that the HBO said they got??? Im sure that Hbo would be looking to get the profits from that other 80,000 buys or 4.4 million dollars, which also leads to the point of WHY would HBO under shoot the numbers. It doesnt make sense on so many levels...But then again how often does a ******* make sense???
