danrafaelespn HBO and Golden Boy have not released Hopkins-Dawson PPV
Nos. but they say it did well under
100,000. It was a bomb all around. # boxing about 6 hours ago
looks like another HBO PPV that did less than expected......
Yet people are saying Floyd and Manny fights are flops
Larry always looking to throw floyds name in the mix
then he mentions manny to as to not sound bias
hahhah
so what happened with HBO's policy of transparency with PPV numbers? new boss new policy perhaps? because that's the second PPV in a row with no official numbers. i wonder if pac-marq will follow the same pattern hmmm..........
I wouldn't be surprised by those numbers. Neither fighter really has a fan base and very little promotion was put into the fight. The Hopkins-Pascale rematch was more PPV worthy than this fight.
