Will Pac/Rios outsell May/Guerrero in PPV?

He did what like 900.000 vs Clottey ? That's not bad against a guy with absolutely no name No he did like 700-750K with Clottey

Flat out no...especially with the fight being held overseas and not in the .u.S. The promotion wont be as much seen in U.S. but have seen that Hennesy Pacuiao commercial more recently since hes ben KO'd lol Alo, Manny has nver out sold Maywether PPV on thir biggest ones. Manny always needs that good bside attraction like cotto-marquez, but doesnt o well when its just his name Clottey/Bradley He did what like 900.000 vs Clottey ? That's not bad against a guy with absolutely no name

your'e an idiot. Pacquiao is filipino which is not chinese. I don't know how popular pacquiao is there but when i think of china i don't think of a big boxing fan base however i don't have any facts to really base it off of. But i just have a feeling it may not do as well i don't know why maybe it's because we haven't heard much from pacquiao since the ko i'd still like to see it though not sure if i will pay though nooooooooo reeeallly? :?!:

The real PPV numbers do come out. The golden rule has always been that numbers should be announced by either HBO or Showtime. Showtime said Ghost vs May did more than 1 million. That's all that matters. That's the way it's always been. Rafael is not an official source. I believe it when I hear how much revenue the fight made, which Golden Boy has always released until the Guerrero fight. They can't lie about the revenue.

No. They'll be lucky to get 700-800K buys with the time and everything.

Rafael is not an official source. arum is no old fool not to have considered the concerns raised on this thread.... time difference, fight location, etc., etc.... as i have put in one of my previous posts, the main event is not the sole basis of ppvs or gate attendance being a success.... a great undercard also goes a long way... i think arum is also lining up a popular chinese fighter in the undercard

we'll never know because in this day and age, the real ppv numbers never come out they'll 'tally' the numbers until people forget about them The real PPV numbers do come out.

Well there's over a billion people in China, and you know Chinese people are a proud group of people and they WILL back up and support their fellow chinese man Pac, so I expect ALOT of buys :boxing: Your'e an idiot.

This fight will shatter floyd-guerrero. Mexicans will still buy this fight cuz Pac is huge in there community and Rios is like a mini Marg. Im expecting this to be the most watched boxing event of all time Are you currently employed by top rank, to say things like that?! Lol

I dont think so. This fight is pointless both are coming from a big loss and theres no titles on the line and then is on the other side of the world! Gtfo let bob arum see that **** by himself! Loool

I think we all know the numbers were abysmal. The fight had no hype, little promotion, and nobody had any interest in the matchup from the getgo. Combine that with Gurrero's irritating jesus freak personality, and we all know that the even was a flop. Id be surprised if it broached 1mill buys. How do those two sentences even end up in the same post ? 900k is a huge success for any other fighter on the planet not named Mayweather or pacquiao

Obviously, PPV will not be the main source of earnings for this fight. Tapping the China market is a novel idea in boxing. Don't know why it's novel when there are more than one billion Chinese on earth. yes and no. yes because of the hundreds of million potential buyers.... No because how much of them can actually buy?

No, the fight is like 9 hours early and they said PPVs will be cut by about half because of the time difference The fight will be on the same time as always in America. The fight will take place Sunday morning in China, but Saturday night in America. As for the question, not a chance. This fight does less than the Clottey one imo.

Probably not, but this fight is 100x more interesting IMO. Rios is limited like The ghost but the one thing he has which I haven't saw in many recent Floyd fights, is the ability to put PAC out with one punch, especially with the clash of styles. Both men will bring it and it should be a war! Ill definitely be watching. Does anyone know what the undercard to this fight is? I agree with someone on page 1...... A Provodnikov- abregu or Alvardo-Provodnikov fight on the undercard would be explosive If it turns out to be a war as you predict, that will simply prove that Pac is not and never was in Mayweather's league. If a B-class fighter like Rios can defeat him, then he never stood a chance against Floyd. If Floyd said he was fighting Rios in his next fight, this board would blow up with hatred and claims of cherrypicking. But Pac/Rios is a good fight?

Probably not due to the timezone. But of course there will be overseas money on top of PPV sales.

yup..that's what they did when PAC fought Larios...the main event started at like 11am on a Sunday so the US audience can watch Saturday night Ohhhhh so it will be 11am sunday in Macau, but regular saturday fight time in the US

Are you talking about tape delay? They aren't going to tape delay the event. It'll be live Sunday morning/afternoon so that it's evening time in the states I dont get it, so the fight will be on Sunday?
