It probably didn't even do that much. Just reiterates the fact that not too many people are willing to pay $54 to finance Hopkins' retirement fund. **** Golden Boy and their garbage match-ups. What's next, Hopkins-Mayorga?
im pretty sure that's the reason.
on another note; how much did cotto/margarito do?
the economy is alot worse now then it was in july, the economy is affecting ppv's! Maybe cotto marg would have done even more if the economy was in better shape you never know.
this shoudl be an indication to the ****ing morons out there worried so gadam much about ppv numbers.not everybody is oscar.and thank goodness for that.
That ship has sailed long time ago. He could get in there Jersey Joe Walcott and nobody would buy it.
Not true. His previous PPV fight did over 300k buys. It was the Calzaghe fight. He stunk up the joint being so defensive there.
Hopkins' fault. That fight between him and Cal left a sour taste in everyone's mouth. He'd do better in his next PPV if he fought again like he did against Pavlik.

He did pretty good money against Winky

This fight shouldn't have been PPV, and the undercard mostly sucked too.
I'm an avid fan, I'm not poor and I'm buying two PPVs on Oct 8th, but I decided against buying the Hopkins vs. Pavlik PPV.
Same here. I buy a good 7-9 PPVs a year and there was no way in hell I would spend a dime on that one. It should've been on Versus or ESPN Friday Night Fights. As far the undercard goes, thats another Golden Boy tactic; they don't want any of the undercards to overshadow the garbage thats displayed on the main even. Especially, if its Oscar, Hopkins or Mosley in the main event.
