Top Rank's last 2 events=2.1 million PPV Buys. Boxing=4.8 million PPV buys in 2011

Official Numbers for Pacquiao vs Shane Mosely were never released, even though many months have passed. Bob Arum saying between somewhere 1.2 and 1.3 million is not proof of anything. The fact that the numbers never released leaves me suspicious that the fight actually did not sell that much. Or else why wouldn't you release the actual report? Marquez vs Pacquio 3 numbers haven't been released yet. Cotto Vs margarito numbers haven't been released yet. And they aren't going to be officially released, not when all Arum has to do is issue a press release saying it did a gazillion, to which Pacquiao's flatworms will respond by flooding boxing sites with more of their usual garbage.

Aside from Pac-Mosley and Hopkins-Dawson, all the PPVs were good-great, and we had better undercards on all of them then in the recent past. You'll have to give us your definition of "Great"

Klitschko vs Haye averaged 16.2 million viewers in Germany.

Aside from Pac-Mosley and Hopkins-Dawson, all the PPVs were good-great, and we had better undercards on all of them then in the recent past. I'm too lazy to guesstimate but even with less then half the amount of PPVs the UFC put out this year, boxing might edge them in overall sales for the first time in 4-5 years. Pac and Floyd have managed to become even more popular even with the fall out of their megafight.

He fought himself twice? yeah, and those two fights are the top 2 PPV this year.. ok?

Def a double edged sword.......

Pacquiao single-handedly generated over 50% of boxings ppv buys in 2011 He fought himself twice?

I like that - boxing generates great numbers. You should see how many that watches Klitschko's fight in Germany. It's not PPV, but on national TV, they generate alot of commercial :-) 16.2 million watched wlad/haye in germany which was a german record

too bad they werent ppv quality imho PPV quality is an illusion, its more of star quality that sells...

I like that - boxing generates great numbers. You should see how many that watches Klitschko's fight in Germany. It's not PPV, but on national TV, they generate alot of commercial :-) it is also free to watch ppv events by pacquiao in the Philippines and it generate a very high percentage of the total viewinG... just like pacquiao in the philippines and klitschko's in germany, I want to see this on a global scale ...

too bad they werent ppv quality

that's good news for boxing TS .... but if it is possible I would rather have a bigger free non-ppv coverage ...

Correct and please do not turn this into a flomo vs pactard thread I beg you. copy. i'll be judicial in what i'll post from hereon. i should have said "interesting figures" and left it at that. i apologize.

when did the offical cotto/margarito 2 and pac/marquez 3 numbers come out?

Also Pacquiao vs. Marquez III was the most watched Boxing match in Mexican Television History peaking at about 43.5 million viewers. Klitschko vs. Haye was watched by approximately 500 million+ people. These are obviously worldwide figures not just American TV now lol and not PPV.

interesting..... so according to these actual numbers, Manny not only fought more than floyd this year, but OUTSOLD HIM BOTH TIMES. Correct and please do not turn this into a flomo vs pactard thread I beg you.

That is how you finish out the year. Good work. Boxing generated about 4.8-5 million PPV Buys in 2011. These are real actual numbers from sources outside Golden Boy/Top Rank and they are not stupid blown out of proportion ufc/mma numbers. These PPV buys are only for American Television (HBO/Showtime). Cotto vs. Mayorga- 250k Buys Pacquiao vs. Mosley- slightly over 1.3 million Buys Mayweather vs. Ortiz- 1.25 million Buys Pacquiao vs. Marquez III- 1.4 million Buys Cotto vs. Margarito II- slightly over 600k Buys Hopkins vs. Dawson- a little under 50k Maidana vs. Morales- 50k Buys interesting..... so according to these actual numbers, Manny not only fought more than floyd this year, but OUTSOLD HIM BOTH TIMES.

Almost population of Ireland. Another 2 mil and you're there..lol
