Just caught the back end of his interview and 5 quick observations...
1. Grow back the ****in stache, because the Mayweather clean face look at you dawg.
2. I believe he believe he's going to kick Poochiao's ass, but he sounds too somber and that won't convince the general public.
3. Read Manny's book...:nono:.
4. Dreams about the fight, winning and wakes up crying...:lol1:
5. I doubt this fight does 700k in PPV buys, because Tim needs to figure out who he is trying to appeal too.
Pac/Bradley should do more than Pac/Clottey because Bradley is from America and once they start focusing on that, all the guys that want to see Pac lose will buy this fight up.
I think around 950K-1.1M buys.
The Mayweather /Cotto fight will likely do around 1.5-1.8 Million.....understandably.
I don't know about 1.5-1.8 mill.
That's a lot

its funny to see how many fuc*n retards really give a shlt how manny PPV buys a fight does!...
if manny sells more than floyd in theyre next ppvs im sure youll mention it everyday.
"It doesn't matter because Arum won't release the real #'s anyway. The problem in selling the fight is Manny's been looking like ****, and Bradley doesn't appeal to casual fans."
The Truck
floyds proven to be the bigger draw but manny puts asses in seats and sells ppv. itll do 900,000 at least.
Explain how Mayweather/Cotto is an appetizer? That ppv may sell more ppvs than any ppv since Mayweather/DLH.
Well, if HBO is really smart, there's no place or time to promote the Bradley\Paq fight other than in the Mayweahter\Cotto fight coverage. They could show clips of the fight in between undercard fights or at the end of the main event.
with bradleys name covering this fight, its guaranteed to break 1.4M ppv buys.
bradley is exciting, charismatic, always brings 45 minutes of nonstop action and has the whole country of USA support.
If he so exciting why he couldn't sell out at Palm Springs?

The fight will easily do 700,000 buys. Going through the last 3-4 years of ppvs it seems like Pac is good for 700k, no matter who he fights. Once HBO and Top Rank gets the hype machine going with Bradley being American and undefeated it should end up close to a million buys.
'You may have a point, but Bradley better be topless virtually the entire running of 24/7, because only chics could save this dude marketability the way he sounded today."

This Paqciao\Bradley fight might surprise a lot of fans and do more than expected in terms of PPV. Aside from Mayweahter\Cotto, which is seen as an appetizer leading to the main course, there's no big fight prior to it. Rios\Gamboa would have been a smash hit, but it's gone now. Thanks to Gamboa's premature diva attitude. Fans are hungry for big fights.
I think it will do more than 1.1 mil easy.
.........Pac only sold 1.15 million with Antonio Margarito. Tim Bradley is about as known to the casual fan as Joshua Clottey was, and that fight sold 750K. I'm thinking 800K. If Bradley was controversial and talked a load of s**t, I think it'd do 1 million. That's not who he is though, at least right now.
The fight would sell great, if not am sure Arum would double the PPV numbers, Bradley does have a good chance on his hands but even though I think he would give pac problems I don't see him winning.
" Tim is too respectful to a guy yet to take a drug test, and who needs a HUGE impressive win to remain relevant to the mainstream. Americans are funny consumers, were the type to buy a 5 dollars hamburger because it's a 5 dollar hamburger , eat half of it, disregard the rest then wake up the next day and become vegetarian. Pacquiao's camp know's Bradley is nothing more than a Mayweather stool pigeon to his fans back home, but over here the dude really is a nobody to casuals."
The Truck
I do agree that Bradley has to have some more depth in his personality to become a big draw or PPV star. He doesn't have an all out explosive and exciting style, and doesn't have a personality to fall back on at all. It'd be great if he could talk some s**t and become a little controversial to sell the fight a little more.
I don'tare about PPV buys really, but I guess it's important with Floyd and Manny sort of.
I see Pac-Bradley doing anywhere from 750-850K in PPV buys. Manny only did 750k with Clottey, a fighter who'd been in with guys like Cotto/Judah. And he only did 850K with Hatton, a guy who'd been in with Tszyu and Mayweather, and sold over 900K PPV's with Floyd.
Bradley has been in with top fighters but not big draws top fighters as of yet. Still, I'll predict 800K PPV's. If Arum comes out and says it did well over 1 million, I won't believe it for a second.
Can't wait till both fights come closer and everyone here makes stupid guess's about how much their PPV made... always a good time.
