According to Steve Kim from Maxboxing.com, the Roy Jones Jr.-Joe Calzaghe bout failed to break the 225,000 mark in terms of Pay-Per-View buys. Based on Kim’s article, HBO had “projected” the bout to do 500,000 buys.

Good to see. This fight imo should not have been on ppv and the undercard was one of the worst i have ever seen.
-
225 is bad. but not horrible in my opinion. I think asking for 500,000 was a stretch. -
The undercard was appalling.Comment

Who wants to bet they blame it on the "economy" ????????????????
No no, it's cause it was a horrible card.Comment

seriously how can the people running boxing be such idiots???......
For HBO to think this fight would do 500k is so ****ing ******.....trinidad-jones did that.....and trinidad was the attraction......calzaghe hadnt fought on PPV, is not american and his HBO ratings had been reasonably poor....jones didnt do good at all as Trinidads B-side......and the fight had no ****ing promoter...Comment

I cant believe in America they have PPV's for the price of $49.99. that is crazy. I thought our prices of £14.99 were bad.
I wonder what they reckon they will do for the Hatton and Malignaggi fight.
I think Sky Box Office are putting the next Amir Khan fight on Box Office.Comment

I'm kind of glad. The undercard ******, hell even the main event was more of name recognition than a quality matchup. Jones hadn't shown anything impressive in the ring since 2003.Comment

Now there will be a lot of focus on what DLH-Pacquiao does. A poor buy rate may change PPV forever.Comment
