Where are the HBO numbers on the Pac/Margarito fight?

Why are numbers needed anyways? Thinking of another excuse to avoid Manny?

It usually takes at least a week for the totals to come out.

I don't think they needed to give out the numbers. Everyone knows that the amount is around or above 1 million. The number is great but isn't breaking any records and because it's Pacquiao taking on a top Mexican, no one is surprised. What's the point? HBO only releases numbers when number breaks some sort of record, is a surprise that they're that high or if there's some big dispute. There is no legit dispute here. so 800-900k in other words :friday: LOL WAR PWILL

Have I missed something? I have been looking for HBO to provide the official number of PPVs for the Pac/Margarito fight. All we have so far are Arum's numbers, which I know are wrong. Usually HBO will release the numbers within a week. What is going on with this? Pactards, please don't tell me the fight did 1.5 million. That is Arum's number and I am sure it is wrong. Arum said they would have a better idea by Thursday so I am assuming that the numbers are lower than expected. One guy from Doghouse or Fanhouse said the numbers were around 850,000 or 100,000 more than the Clottey fight but he was some blogger Snerddog: Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito Ppv Buys Around 850,000? By SnerdBoy, Dog Pound (Nov 15, 2010) Doghouse Boxing (Photo © German Villasenor, Doghouse Boxing) - * I heard during the press confrence someone asked how were the Pay-per-view buys and Bob Arum just said it did way above the Joshua Clottey fight, he didn't want Mark Taffet (HBO) to answer. Someone was whispering near the camera and you can hear them saying it did 100,000 more buys than Clottey vs Pacquiao, way less than expected. That is pretty low, but I think it was because they only hyped the fight up the week before the fight. When Floyd Mayweather fights he has billboards everywhere and radio ads and commercials, I didn't see any posters, billboards or commercials for Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito till the week of the fight. Also the seats sold were like 41 thousand way lower than the 60 thousand Arum predicted. This gonna hurt Pacquiao's negotiation with Mayweather. His popularity is seriously over exaggerated by the HBO guys like Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, Manny Steward and Max Kellerman. * SnerdBoy is a member of our Forum here at DoghouseBoxing.
