    But organization like Forbes (an authority about money) does recognized Pacquiao's six 1M PPVs record. Even if those 1.3M, 1.2M PPV buys were bloated, I still think the true figures reached 1 million buys.

    I think the figures were around 500,000-600,000 for Marg and JMM 3/4. I think Mosley was around 400,000.

    You think the figures are around ~1,000,000.

    Forbes thinks they're 1,000,000+

    Who's right? We'll never know. No official numbers. Official numbers = right. Without the official numbers Forbes is no more a legitimate source than my or your guess.



    OH, and there's a reason Arum never let HBO/Showtime release the official numbers. You can believe that.

    What was the need for the extensive blood tests?:think Everyone knows THE BEST and most EFFECTIVE way to catch those who are doping are through random URINE ANALYSIS which PAC agreed to up front.

    Everyone know the best way to utilize "invasive" testing measures like Blood Tests are immediately AFTER the fight or sporting event. Yet Floyd's big hang up was BLOOD TESTS....My Question is "WHY"?

    You can avoid the question like most Floyd fans do....but reality is there was no real reason for a hardline stance on continuous blood testing which could happen on the day of the fight for the Floyd testing requirements. It's just Odd to me....as it is to many others who know what was going on.

    Anyone who doesn't ask the question is obviously one of Floyd's cum repositories and relishes the role. the fight shouldn't have been this hard to make it Floyd was the only reason why the fight never came off.

    That was lame Turb....but I didn't make **** up...the negotiation for the blood testing cut off was merely a byproduct of what happens in any negotiations. One side has a request/stipulation or demand and the other side can either accept it as is or inject their own revised proposal....

    This is of course all about BLOOD testing which again...PAC agreed to....just not the ridiculous blood testing requirements Floyd insisted on for his special brand of testing.

    Ok knuckle head....post all the "OFFICIAL" PPV numbers that come directly from the "BROADCASTING STATION".:lol: All promoters are the ones who release the numbers and sometimes the network will confirm or back the promoters statements...but not all the time.

    What do you mean? PAC was willing...he just had his own voice where most other boxers DON'T.... Not when they are going to fight Floyd or PAC. Notice how NO ONE needed or felt it would be necessary to incorporate the Floyd testing when facing Manny.

    If Pac was willing why didn't he take them then :nut a 14 day cut off was more than fair since Pac was giving blood for hatton 18 days out

    Pac was fine with giving blood...he has done it for years...it's just being demanded to give his blood throughout camp and all the way up to the day of the fight was where he drew the line and began making his own demands regarding the additional testing.

    Again...this was and has always been about BLOOD TESTS.... "WHY"? No one can answer the question as to why Floyd felt it necessary to inject such an AGGRESSIVE stance on blood testing? It's just interesting that folks want to over look the fact Floyd was hell bent on making the random testing about BLOOD testing when in ALL sports and ALL testing measures Random Urine analysis is by far and without question the most effective way to catch those who are doping. WHY?

    There are certain PEDs only detected through blood testing, such as HGH.

    Which POST fight tests would be the most effective ways to catch HGH. Not throughout a training camp. But you're wrong...you can test for HGH through Urine analysis.

    a collaboration between American and Italian scientists produced a test that detects HGH use via urine samples.
