De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao: 1.25 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

[$partacus]

Sententa has most big fights nowadays buy sky had this fight and it was PPV but only £15

The PPV was for the Amir Khan fight, they did it the same day as DLH v Pac and put it on the PPV to get more sales for Amir

Hatton vs Pacquaio would demolish all world wide records.

Hatton v Mayweather did 1.4 million buys in the UK and the UK has 60 million US 300+ Million (320 million if you count illegal ******s)

Hatton/Pacquaio 100,000 live and easily the biggest WW PPV ever.

I want it to be 60-40 but 55-45 imo is fair enough knowing that Floyd is the best way back a year ago but is now retired while Manny is active and has done more this year that any active fighter.

[QUISQUEYA]

this is good.but i know with a stable economy it would of been more.

But not 2x more.

Are you surprised that this only did HALF of what "The World Awaits" did? Arum was saying that this fight "was tracking at 90% of Mayweather-Delahoya". Nowhere near 90%.

"Please that we bought the fight".. What kind of crap is that???? The undercard was horrendous!!!! That has to be the worst pay-per-veiw event in history. Can anyone think of any other event that cost 55 dollars, worse than what we saw on last Saturday night????

Please remember that Hatton's popularity in the US is nowhere near what it is in the UK.

I do not believe that RH-Pac would outsell DLH-May.

mma won..

*chuckles*

but anyways, how did this do compared to floyd/oscar or floyd/hatton??

[MANGLER]

I'm surprised this many people took the bait.

1.4million PPV buys in the UK alone? count 1.1mill in the US Hatton/May did 2.5mill i see Hatton/Pac obliterating that.

Do you realize how many people have lost their jobs in the past 3 months? Not to mention their homes?
