PAC-DLH fight should have recorded 3million buys!!

1.25 million is a GREAT number!!

it is better than DLH-Mayweather and DLH-Tito!!

Considering the fact that:

1.) DLH has five losses ( a loss to PBF downgraded DLH's value a lil bit)

2.) Many Media outlets branded this fight as a JOKE, FARCE , & a MISMATCH (obviously it affected a lot of potential PPV buyers not to buy it)

3.) The ECONOMY is **** right now ( 500k lost their jobs in a span of 3mos)

CONCLUSION:

If not for this 3 reasons, especially reason no.2, this fight would have sold 3million buys!!

thats another good reason why this fight sold less than the Mayweather-DLH fight, I mean that Boring "World Awaits" fight downgraded DLH's value a bit

If the economy turns around, and Pacuiao gets by Hatton, I expect Pac-Floyd to do 2 million buys.

Hbo would make more money on PPV's if they didnt show the replay a week later, there are so many people who dont buy PPV's because they know they can watch for free the next week.

If Oscar's value was downgraded it can only be his fought, he is the one in the ring fighting. The fight didnt do much because STILL many people dont know who Manny Pacquiao is, get this through your heads folks, not every is on the internet looking at boxing websites all day.

Pac didnt do well when he had PPV spots without Marquez so dont act like just because he is popular in your mind that everyone else knows him, also many thought the fight was a joke and didnt buy it. Still 1.25 is a heck of alot and Im sure HBO is happy to get it.

another great reason..HBO crew should make some good operational planning to force people to buy PPV, nevertheless 1.25M proved that Pacquiao is also a DRAW in terms of PPV numbers..remember, PAC-DLH surpassed the PPV numbers of DLH-Hop and DLH-Mosley, and all of them are American champs (Bhop, Mosley) and the peeps think its a good match-up (as compared to DLh-PAC in which the media branded as a FARCE match-up)
