WOW!
It will be amazing if they even did over 1mil in the US, I really hope this ends up being true and I think there is a chance it will be. A lot of people ordered the fight since there hasn't been a major Boxing PPV this year.
2 NON American fighters
a fight under WW
anything over 750K is a major statement about boxing and its popularity
if this fight does 2mil, its over
truth..
i hope it did 4 million buys...
that means boxing is back in a major way..
and that means Mayweather vs. Pacquiao would probably be held in a football stadium because of the interest
I doubt it did that much but even close is impressive...
It'd be even better if they put together a slightly better undercard...
I don't think fans can expect freakish KO's like that though...world class fighters rarely knock each other out like that.
concepcion-luevano and kirkland-?(that stocky , tough middleweight) would have been good undercards if those fights hadn't fallen apart.
U.S numbers. from the cable companies.
just U.S.?!?!?!?!!!?!??
no way!!!!!!!!!! :scared:
if that's true.........floyd is FUCKED in the pac-pbf negotiations!

i'm guessing 500-750k for the u.s. plus a million from the u.k.
that's around what floyd-ricky did.
that's u.k. and u.s. together or just u.s. numbers?
i think u.k. plus u.s. ppv got 2 million too for ricky-floyd. a 1/3 of it was from the u.k. though.
i gotta think 2 mil. for pac-ricky would be for both u.k. and u.s. ppv together.

This is one case where I care about the numbers. I really hope the fight did well.
Because that KO was ****ing awesome. Whoever saw that will come back for more.
"We know based on those early numbers and based on experience the event will perform extremely well. If I had to guess, anywhere between 1.6 million and two million...."

Nice try.
That was an early quote from Arum.
