    People want to know hot it performed in this case because of the exposure on CBS and the switching of networks. Its interesting to see how much this exposure may have affected the sales, and if it did well, we may see more of these in the future.

    Don't be angry at us because your redneck hick AZZ is forever bounded to White America's trailer parks. Even immigrants can afford homes or rent apartments.

    That total has yet to be released, though Arum insisted it will be above 1.3 million. The total is significant for a number of reasons, not the least of which is to determine the impact that Top Rank’s decision to bring on CBS as a partner to aid in promoting the bout had on the sales.
    A year earlier, Mosley fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a bout promoted by Golden Boy on HBO Pay-Per-View. That bout sold 1.4 million pay-per-view units. And with Arum’s failure to release the figure, there has been furious speculation in the industry that the Pacquiao-Mosley fight didn’t sell nearly as well as Mayweather-Mosley.
    Several rival promoters are whispering that the Pacquiao-Mosley figure is actually 1.18 million. Arum says that is not the case and said this reporter’s prediction that it would settle on 1.375 million “might turn out to be right on the money.”
    Arum explained the failure to release the numbers as an accounting issue. He said HBO Pay-Per-View’s Mark Taffet has a great ability to estimate a show’s performance based on the early numbers that come in. Generally, Taffet releases a number for an HBO Pay-Per-View show about five days after the fight.
    Arum said neither Top Rank nor Showtime has the ability to predict a number like Taffet does, leading to the reporting delay. He said it could be months before there is one.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:roflArum is saying it might be months before the official numbers are released.:lol:

    .......and that the specularion is that it did 1.1 million?
    If this were the case, I guarantee you Arum would have released the numbers.

    This fight did well under what was expected, or Arum would'nt be hiding under a facade that Showtime does'nt know how to add the numbers like HBO can.

    What a bunch of Baloney, Showtime has done numerous PPV's in the past. Its not rocket science to add up PPV buys.:lol:


    I'm postitive that Arum will hold the Pac-Mosley PPV numbers hostage until at least he gets better numbers from the Marquez fight in November.

    .....from the business side of it, it would'nt be prudent to publicly disclose poor Pacquiao PPV numbers heading into the Marquez fight.
    Disclosing such numbers and have journalist write about it, actually brings down Pacquiao's star power and aids in the casual fan not being interested in Pacquiao's next PPV.

    The way it stands now, false as it may be, Arum publicly announced that Pacquiao sold the most PPV's ever for a fight of his. When the public here's or reads about it, it registers in their brain that they have to see Pacquiao in his next PPV.
    Its all about hype, and hype sells!:deal
