Hatton-Pacquiao PPV sales disappoint...under 650K US buys.

there's still no link. we shouldn't jump to conclusions

You can easily account the losses from free streaming into this as well. If just a fraction of those were buys, we'd have had a good chance at record breaking events for a few fights now. I saw one outlet a while back that had video views well into 6 figures.

But is that different than any other recent fight? The black market exists equally for pretty much all PPV's ....no?

so, you're vigorously embracing that role, huh?

Even if its 650K, look u cant lie about how everybody that following monday was talking about that fight ! so u know a lot of people were at peoples houses watchin that fight, **** i had 15 people over my house so imagine how many people watched that fight across the country. this fight was a good one for boxing no matter what.

Except that the number of people that watch streamed fights grows every week. Eventually PPVs will cease to exist.

I'm still waiting to see the numbers from Europe, which should still be huge.

I think it's gotten wider spread now, especially when you have HBO running all over the web shutting **** down during telecasts.

hmm.. thats def not 2 million buys..

[The Gambler1981]

I thought that regular was $50 and HD was $60. Shouldn't your mix-adjusted average be in the low 50's?

Well whatever can adjust for that, 700,000*55=38,500,000 add in the gate which was what 9 million? I have no clue what they would get for sponsorships but a few million probably got tacked on.

TO me if you do double the business that you are paying out in base purses your event is minted.

[ИATAS]

Dispute the accuracy.

how can I when there aren't any numbers yet? And even if you're right, so what you received info before other people. wow so impressive. As if you're responsible for this amazing accomplishment.

What's with the sensitivity?

Nobody is or has denigrated Pac. Or Hatton. Merely reporting some numbers that I get from an industry source from my job. Why would anyone be motivated to 'lie' about anything? Calmate.

You had people at your house. Great. There are fight parties for every big fight. In fact, the bigger the fight, the more (and bigger) the fight parties.

If you want the number, there it is. If you have another number, present it. If you don't care, why are you in the thread, Leafblower?
