Arum said the tracking of the pay-per-view results are encouraging As a result, Margarito will be able to get fights that wouldn’t have been remotely possible before.
Arum said buys on DirecTV were tracking about 50 percent better than Cotto’s November win over Mosley, which wound up selling 350,000 units.
“Something changed tonight,” Arum said. “This fight did tremendous numbers on pay-per-view. A great number of those who bought it were Mexicans, Mexican-Americans
Good to see that Margarito can sell a fight. According to Arum Mexicans were the ones who made this fight successful.
Bob Arum is playing this PR MX thing like a fiddle. What is sad is that he has both of these countries best in his stable which gives him immense power. I can understand now why so many dislike him
Arum is taking a guess with the statement about mexicans being the majority of the PPV buyers for the fight. The only way I can think of him coming up with that shit is by looking at the zip codes for people who ordered the fight. Zip codes can be used as a tool to somewhat figure out the ethnic majority in a certain area.
Man the Bob-Father really knows how to play his cards right with this fight. Say what you want to say about him but the guy can really put a good show, the UC was weak as fuck but the main event is what everyone was waiting for anyway. This was a win-win situation for him, Cotto lost but now he will hype him up to say he's coming back better than ever, and get him another big fight or rematch next year. Tony has now earn the respect he deserves and a larger following.
While In the meantime Arum is counting all of his new money.
Bob actually took on gamble on this fight. If Margarito would've lost, it would've pretty much been the end of him. Yeah, he would've continued to fight, but his chance of headlining another ppv would've been grim.
oh, that's interesting. i thought the dirt-bike riding whiteboy tapout kids from south orange county were gonna pull in the big numbers. go figure.
Are u referring to mma?

We outnumber Puerto Ricans in this country is probably how he came to that conclusion.
Yeah, but half of u cant even subscribe to cable because nobody is suppose to know that u are illegally here. (no pun intended)
Not saying that its true or not, but think about it. How does Arum know which group of ethnic backrounds were responsible for the majority of purchases, only 2 days after the fight? I dont care if blacks are responsible for the purchases, all im saying is, nobody can make an assumption like that so soon.

I'm pretty sure they have a way of finding out who is buying the ppv's.
Just like the networks know what demographic is watching their tv shows and programs.
So the U.S census Bureau keeps track of which ethnic backrounds purchase ppv's? Or if not, they provide the cable providers with the ethnicity of each cable subscriber? Is that what you're saying?
:lol1: you know? since it's soo important to keep track off who is buying the ppvs!
no it isn't they can find out ever heard of the US census?
They can find out man trust me it is not against the law why you afraid are you illegal bro?
So all Latinos are illegal know? No, but they can't look at census records or your personal information. You have a right to privacy and it's against the law.
