Lol, that was higher than I thought it would be. Still, 60,000x$50=$3,000,000,

Arum lost 1mil.

I'm sure he's got options on future fights and will get his money back when Maskaev fights Klitschko.

of course it didnt sell good, rahman-maskaev should never have been a PPV

Well that simply means there are very few people remaining who are still fans of the HW division.

And believe me it will continue to decline especially now that the title holders are non americans.

yeah, but he the BS info (< 100 K PPV buys) is outdated relative to the new info in the thread ( = 60 K PPV buys).

IF the public knew what a great fight that would be, there would have been many PPV buys.

Most people expected this to be a walk-in-the-park fight for Rahman, so they did not purchase it.

HBO should have made this a BAD fight, not a PPV.
