How many PPV buys did Pac-Hatton do?

This was supposed to be a huge superfight, so I'm wondering what kind of drawing power Pacquiao and Hatton have these days. I know I bought it. You'd think I'd be regretting it being that it only went 2 rounds, but I was pretty satisfied. I enjoyed watching it so much (and many times over being that it's on my DVR), but I dunno... something about Hatton's face during the knockout just makes me feel very sad.[/QUOTE]

I hear you man, I wasn't really going for either fighter, I love an under dog so I was probably favouring Hatton but the head said Pac.

I just feel like Hatton didn't deserve to get destroyed like that, I just watched it again on youtube andit really makes me feel very sad for Hatton.

Not to sound like a cynical *******, but sometimes the best thing for a fighter to have happen to him is to get blitzed. Maybe this is the end for Hatton, and maybe nothing would let him realize that more than this.

Imagine if he'd have taken that punishment for 8 or 9 rounds, then got that shot to the chin. The decision to retire might not have been his to make at that point.

my guess is 500-750k in the u.s.

and 1 mil. in the u.k.

Less than Mayweather-Hatton, you feel? Why?

because we are in a recession.

[Spiegelo]

Yeah I'm guessing it's somewhere around 1.5 mil...


...Tua, you should totally let me borrow 30k points for a little bit. I'll pay you back, you know me I'm good for it.

Not ot speak for Left Hook, but Mayweather, like him or not, is a big star in terms of boxing. Commercials now, TV spots, HUGE pub-tour, big fight just fought with De La Hoya (even bigger star), TOTAL HBO SUPPORT, Dancing With The Stars. May all sound like little bits, but they add up.

Not to mention that both fighters who fought Demember 8th, spoke English Which, good or bad, matters to the public. Mayweather knows big Hollywood names, as well.

That PPV sold over 800K. As great a number as that is, it's almost a letdown. Nonetheless, INCREDIBLE impressive, considering the economic climate and the fact that these were WORLD stars. Not just American stars.

i think it will be 1.5m or more?

[mrpain81]

I think the numbers will be real juicy, they won't come out for a few days atleast though.

economy mostly.

i think it'll come close to floyd-hatton but slightly less in both u.s. and u.k.

[QUISQUEYA]

because we are in a recession.

The economy is better than it was for DLH-Pac, and that fight did great nums. Driven by Oscar, of course.

DLH-Pac did TRinidad type nums. More than Mayorga, Hopkins, mosley, Vargas.
