Bob Arum: "Pac-Bradley PPV did terrible; we lost money on the fight

[-PBP-]

I'm happy this flopped. If the fights we don't want flop more often we'll get better fights. Keep boycotting this crap.

lol at the pac-tards defending pac.

How did it sell 400-500k? That's the most surprising part.

We really need the current promoters to start losing money. They need to be forced into cooperating. Their little war games are terrible for the sport.

But Arum said the poor numbers were not a matter of the public being tired of the matchup. Rather, he said it was more a combination of two other elements -- the overwhelmingly negative public reaction to Pacquiao's recent anti-gay comments, in which he said that ****sexuals are "worse than animals," and because of a hangover from May's Floyd Mayweather-Pacquiao megafight, which cost $100 for pay-per-view and delivered so little that many fans are still upset about it.

Lol

So Arum is basically putting all the blame on Pacquiao rather than his own ****ty matchmaking. The 3rd fight was unnecessary and the only reason they even had a second fight was because Pac was robbed in the 1st fight.

Everyone was tired of this matchup, that's why people didn't order. It had little to do with Pac's gay comments or the boring fight against Floyd.
