Arum came out this week and said that Chavez-martinez was "already over 600K".
Then HBO releases 475K.
Ignore Arum numbers. Always.
They didn't say it did 475k. They said early trends indicated 475k but they're still counting and would likely rise. **** boxing fans hear what they want. HBO never released a final number.
I don't think it does, I think too many things are against it. A PPV during the shopping season, bad idea. Recycled fight, regardless of how good the previous fights were. Cusual fans are starting to stream more than hardcore fans, I don't see it doing a million.
I think this outperforms the last one easily.
Remember no one gave Marquez a real shot going into the last fight. Everyone thought this would be easy work for Pac and the only reason they chose Marquez was so that Pac could Ricky Hatton his ass and look great after two lackluster wins against Mosley and Margacheato.
Going into this one people will want to see if Marquez can close the deal and do what he did last time so I think this one will have a lot more hype than the last one.
why are we as boxing fans so obsesed with PPV numbers?? who cares man we r boxing fans not accountants!
What do you think drives the sport? Money.
So, if you are a fan, you want the sport to make money so that you can see good fights.
Big money = healthy sport.
marquez wins by knockout
I can see it now Marquez saying as they touch gloves "You got any excuses tonight Manny", then boom~ early in the fight.
I don't know if I agree but that would be priceless.
they should push santacruz to stardom jus like canelo
I find Santa Cruz to be more entertaining, looking forward to seeing his next fight. He might not have a lot of power, but his punch output and body-punching ability totally makes up for it.
As for the topic, they will do at least a million. Nothing surprising about it, seeing as how fans are so eager to dish money out, Arum is there waiting with the collection plate.
Marquez always say he'll go for the ko but he always come in passivethis time he knows its his last chance to claim his rightful crown. Win or lose hes a HOF but Pacs a torn in his legacy and thats why i dont think its a money thing but a legacy thing. He doesnt want the judges to rob him, hes coming blazing
Marquez always say he'll go for the ko but he always come in passive
passive??he boxes mannys ears off in every damn fight...guy you want him to fight stupid so manny has a chance..sometimes i wonder what some people call boxing cause standing in front of a man and throwing alot of punches is not what i call boxing
Arum admits he lies,says"who cares bout the truth"admits to blocking fights and people believe this guy??how in the hell would we even know how many buys the damn fight does?
And bloggers like Montoya and Kim are now carrying water for Arum because they have essentially been banned by Golden Boy.
