I am a Pacquiao fan, but no way am I buying this PPV after 2 straight recorded losses and an undercard that I would'nt watch even if it was on ESPN friday night fights. I mean come on top rank learn from golden boy and give us some good valued undercard fights.
Whatever is reported most here will spin it like it did better than Floyd fights with some bogus sh1t like over 25k viewed the fight from Malaysia.
:nonono:
This Manny/Floyd obsession is just too much with some people.
ufs purse LOL

main event fighters in ufc make most of their money on the back end. not up front which is stupid as hell. why would you pay a guy 30 million guarantee unless you are looking to lose money which is exactly what happened to showtime. boxing is the system that is messed up. giving ward 2 million dollars when he barely draws? makes no sense. gsp made over 12 million in 2012. if you are popular you make money. if you aren't then you don't. boxing has it backwards. they pay you a lot of money first and then hope by paying a fighter a lot that means he will be popular. doesn't work that way!
It will do more than any recent UFC ppv, the UFC is averaging 350,000 ppv buys now. I think Pac Rios should do at least 450,000 ppv buys to be a hit since its in china.
I would assume it'll do somewhere between 600-780k for US buys similar to Guerrero-Mayweather.
But Pac will go home with a lot more money than he normally would fighting in China.
I Doubt that they will release the numbers but-somewhere between 700,000 and 850,000... Their 0-3 in their last 3 fights PAC back to back losses at Welterweight and Rios never having fault at 147 yeah this should be for a title on PPV lol
