I have no idea of the PPV numbers, but I would be somewhat suprised if it did less than 100k...... ......but to the *******s.....they still have'nt announced the final PPV numbers for Pac-David Diaz......word is that it did 150K, when they were expecting double that! .....I dont believe there was any expectation for a JMM-Casamayor fight, only that they could make more money going PPV than for it to be on HBO or Showtime......which was probably the case.
Dunno what the views were but Marquez had over 20,000 views overnight on the video on youtube I posted up of his greatest hits
If JMM/CASA comes lower than PAC/DIAZ fight....obviously, MARQUEZ is really not a sellable commodity, except when he fights PACMAN. jI remember that JMM/JUAREZ was held in a small enclosed building with a capacity of what .... 1K? He's a good counter puncher, kudos to that. But he shouldn't be in boxing. He should be teaching self defense. Because boxing is suppose to be for warriors. It's suppose to be a battle field. People get bored when they're expecting a battle and you see a timid fighter just waiting for a punch instead of initiating the punch.:hat
Glad to hear that i'm a big JMM fan, so I hope he made a few bucks. I thought JMM vs Casa was a great fight and a that it was a pretty good card in general. I've seen alot worse for 45 or 50 bucks. My only complaint is that it expired from my dvr after 1 day. To whom do I attribute that crap?
Let's make that 100k. FYI, Pac-Diaz was reported to be over 200k buys w/c means Pacman made twice than JMM. Surely Pacquiao is the draw when they fight and Manny has every right to demand a bigger purse...
.....and nobody is.....just that Pacquiao got a 75/25 split the last time they fought, and would illogically demand the same for a 3rd fight. The final reports from the Pac-Diaz fight were that it did closer to 150k than 200K......that falls well short of the near 500K that his fight with JMM did. Obviously the fans know when a matchup is worth buying, and neither Pac or JMM are going to do big numbers fighting the likes of Diaz and Casamayor......fights that just 5 years ago, would never even be thought of as going PPV.
