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

[el malo]

Boxing doesn't work like that. The purses are based on economic/commercial appeal, not p4p ranking. Did Pac earn more than Oscar in their fight? Jeez. You cats aren't exactly Wharton grads, are ya?

nobody makes more than oscar in a fight vs oscar dumbass. The point is pac is the face of boxing and your a moron if u think anybody is gona make more than him.

i just couldn't take why some boxing fans would rejoice if a PPV event does not do good numbers.

INSECURITY maybe.

I guess DRAW is not the appropriate word, 'coz I don't think Floyd is a better draw and more popular than Hatton, Pac and all those popular Mexicans worldwide. Those people could literally stop their countries just to watch their fighter.

But I agree Floyd would generate more buys for the overpriced US PPV (he's American, you know). But no way he's more popular worldwide.

Mexicans and Filipinos pay 1 PPV for a bunch of 50 people. haha

dude , you've been real prissy lately.

i wasn't saying you were lying or anything , i was asking you where you got the info from.

don't be so defensive.

That's not being prissy or defensive. Although, the various posts above ("Bull****!!") would give somebody reason to be defensive.

I'm explaining what I do.

For example, there is someone at Rockstar (typically a category manager or Finance Director) who is in charge of the promotional spending. there are two types of spend: The type that the consumer sees (in-store or event) and the type the customer doesn't (Rockstar annual picnic or golf tourney). The marketing research chick 9most often women) will calculate the GRP's. How many people "saw" that Rockstar logo in the ring. Nahmean?

That guy (or woman) will pull the attendance, samples, buys, units sold, etc to determine if there is an appropriate return on the spend. In short, did we get enough sales/profit during/after the event to justify the investment in the event. When you see something on sale in the grocery store, it is because the manufacturer has given the retailer a promotional allowance (PA) or billback (BB). The consumer has an image that certain chains are "low priced". That's largely a fallacy. With the notable exception of WM, which has an EDLP policy/approach.

So, that is why the nums are so important. An example closer to home? The average BoxingScene user has an average of 6-7 pageviews, and spends about 10 minutes on the site per visit.

I heard from the Yemeni guy at the corner store at my block the fight did 3 million buys...Mohammed never lies, he's a devout ******. So it must be true.

You're saying that. But I haven't seen who is rejoicing. Who are you referring to?
