Fire Power: 2 Million PPV Buys according to reliable source...

This makes sense. Packy and Cotto are both big draws. DLH was a bigger draw than Cotto. If this is true and it reached 2 Million buys. Pac vs. Mayweather, Pac should take the lions share.

I get your point in asking for the source. But to mention PPV numbers with common opponents, you must be a... FLOMO! :rofl: It's irrelevant you dickhead. This is Pac vs. Cotto and nothing else. :pat: The article claims that Pac has the edge in negotiations with FMJ about a superfight... did you even read it??

Rumors of Pacquiao-Cotto Rising to 2 Million PPV Buys from Reliable Sources by John Chavez Nov 17, 2009 - I'm not one to spread rumors or lies... that is "Rigordo's" job. I've just received word from a very reliable source connected to the distributing cable companies of this recent "Fire-power" event featuring Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto has reached Pay-Per-View figures that are mind-blowingly high. It seems as though the boxing fan has continued their education as they are indeed no dummies when it comes to shelling out for fights deemed as more than Pay-Per-View worthy. Word has it that the final tally for Pacquiao vs. Cotto has skyrocketed past it's predicted 1.2 or 1.3 million household projected and hit that vaunted 2 million mark. This is astounding being that neither fighter was a native english speaker and neither man was considered truly accepted by the domestic, U.S. public. If this figure is indeed correct as it very well might be... Pacquiao definitely possesses the advantage when coming to the negotiating table across from Floyd Mayweather Jr. We must remember, De la Hoya was needed to boost that Mayweather fight figure to 2.4 million. Prior to the fight with Oscar, Floyd never even broke the 500,000 buy range barrier while De la Hoya had surpassed 900,000 on numerous occassions. As for Miguel Cotto, his highest grossing Pay-Per-View bout was with Antonio Margarito which reached the 500,000 buy range last July. Pacquiao is obviously the draw and the powers that be should give thanks to social networking sites Facebook and Twitter for helping them push this fight to numbers it otherwise would have never seen. Yes, the internet has finally made it's presence felt in the promotion of a major fightcard. Link: http://theboxingtruth.com/article.php?id=1234 Surprise, surprise!!! Bullshit. The only reliable source is HBO, which will release its numbers on Thursday. No one can predict how many the fight will do when the numbers have not all been reported. First, someone reported 1.2 million. Now its up to 2 million. By this time tommorrow it will be 3 million.

now we got 2 web sites? anyone have other source links?

Rey Colón of the ´El Vocero´ of Puerto Rico reported that the welterweight mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto generated approximately 2 million pay-per-view buys generating at least $120 million. No word on what Pacquiao´s cut will be but Cotto was mentioned to be making at least $10 million minimum. That's from fight news.

What's even better is that those 2 million viewers got 5-6 rounds of an entertaining main event

so who was the source? This seems to be one biased article. They make no mention of the ppv numbers with common opponents I get your point in asking for the source.
