Are you the type to see a headline and run with it? Why don't you learn how to read? The article states that Bob Arum told ESPN this. Not Showtime. BTW, ESPN is the largest sports network in the world, not the company hired to tabulate pay-per-view sales.

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao's lopsided decision victory against Shane Mosley on May 7 generated more than 1.3 million pay-per-view buys -- Pacquiao's best box office performance yet -- Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com.



Again like Ellerbe said on that Blog Site....SHOWTIME hasnt released any info regarding the PPV for this fight. Kinda like how HBO does...

I can already tell Pistol whip is some moron from the UG or Sherdog.

That's true but again you're just making a general statement. We are discussing this issue and as it relates to this issue, what you're saying here is that the promoter in question is...lying.

"We know we have a little over 1.3 million," Arum said. "What we don't have are some of the smaller cable systems. What I'm saying is I know we go to the bank counting a little over a 1.3 million. I know we'll go up from there. How much up, I have no experience in this. This was all done for us in the past by HBO, which had experience, charts and all kinds of data from past fights to compare the fight to. Showtime can't do it because they haven't done this in so long. They don't have the database that you need, but I'm feeling very, very happy because I know I've done at least 1.3 million.

"How far over we are remains to be seen, and I have no way to make a prediction. Obviously, on the outstanding systems we did something. So that will determine how much above 1.3 million. But I don't think we have enough outstanding numbers to say we will be over 1.4 million, so I think we will wind up somewhere between 1.3 and 1.4 million."

This is what Arum says the numbers are, and might even be more. Official numbers have been yet to be released.
