Pacquiao-Barrera PPV Does 350K Buys

[WHB3]

I forget where I read it, but similar numbers were mentioned for the PPV buys for this fight. I think it was either on Max Boxing or Dan Rafael's blog.

In any case, those are pretty damn good numbers if you ask me. Pacquiao can certainly draw on PPV. And man oh man, if Juan Diaz can get a few more fights to make him a bigger name, then the eventual Diaz/Pacquiao match will draw big time numbers on PPV.

San Antonio Express a small market newspaper? ROFL!!! you need to come to texas to see how small it is then.

Dude, I have been to San Antonio many times. HEB was one of my biggest clients. I have a pic of myself hanging out at Republic of Texas on the Riverwalk on my ******* page.

In media terms, San Antonio is a small market. Dallas Metroplex, and Houston are FAR bigger markets even within the same state.

There is a reason why San Antonio only has one sports franchise.

Imagine if Barrera didn't lose to Marquez......it would have been over 400K buys.


Summary:

pac-em 1 365,000
pac em 2 350,000
pac em 3 340,000
pac mab 2 350,000

LOL at you for saying Pacquiao is second or third below oscar in PPV sales

You also seem to forget that its not just pacquiao that fights that night, Mexicans outnumber the pinoys in PPV buys when a big fighter like barrera is fighting

[-Antonio-]

That is very good for little guys.

Thats the issue. You've only been to San Antonio. Readers of the San Antonio Express span from Corpus Christy down to South Texas were I'm from. Boxing is a HUGE sport in Texas, especially south Texas. Since San Antonio seems to be the unofficial place for boxing in Texas, people read. Also, you have to remember that Pac/Barrera 1 was fought in San A so it would make sense for Arum to release that info to them.

Boxing is pretty damn popular over here in SA, we may not produce bad ass fighters but we still love boxing.

ive worked for directv and mayweather doesnt do that well i dont have the total but at least with directv he doesnt get many ppv buys but oscar de lahoya we force people to go OT when he fights. 900000+ total in the mayorga fight. manny is a big draw too. i remember pac-erik 2 when morales lost a lot of mexicans called up to get credits on the PPV that was ****ing hilarious. true story though.
