it wont do big numbers many casual fans dont know who Diaz is or that the fight is even taking place.
Manny's stock has gone down a bit after not being able to put away a very old Barrera and getting a gift against JMM.
No. I expect Manny to beat the turd out of Diaz. I'm not much into spending my money on fights I know the outcome. Now boxing is a sport with surprises, but it is very unlikely D. Diaz will pull the upset. Diaz is the weakest Champion and went neck to neck with a shot Morales.
This card will do above average PPV numbers (250k) but will steal at least 100k from Cotto-Margarito following it the very next month. I think that the two Top Rank shows will do around 450k together which would be good for one card... but for 2 shows - and the GREAT Cotto-Margarito getting the lower numbers - it's pretty bad... truly, both fights are for the masses, PacMan-Diaz is not PPV worthy, Cotto-Margarito is but Arum could make millions of fans showing it on free HBO, but in the end, HBO will get his usual hardcore fans' money, and those non-hardcore fans who'll buy only one PPV in the summer will waste their money on an early PacMan KO and Cotto-Margarito will de very disappointing numbers...
You have to check your memory. The judge admitted he made a mistake and because of that mistake JMM was gifted a DRAW. Sourgraping to till the LAST minute...atsch Grow up and move on with your life :hey "Don't turn apples to oranges... "
I say around $300K.. The undercard is weak, yes, but I'm still paying for this fight, shitty undercard ir not.. I think it'll do more than people except.. You know some of them Pac haters will be ordering it ..
Won't do very good, probably something around 200-250k. If Morales vs Pacquiao made 350k then don't expect this to do insane numbers.
I will be honest; I am VERY curious how Pac looks at the weight so I will probably split the cost with some friends. Otherwise yes; the undercard sucks imo
Be curious to see what The Diaz/Morales Fight did... compared to What The Diaz/Manny fight will do. I'm still not convinced Manny can pull numbers without a NAME (Mexican) Opponent! This has "Sopcast" written all over it tho.
I think itll do very well, Pac has fought worse and done very well, so i dont see it being any different this time around.
