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

What were the UK and Ireland figures? Add to that the Asian figures for a more realistic gauge of the fight's popularity.

Exactly. Just because Fat Yanks didn't buy it in large figures doesn't mean it bombed.

Whatver the real #'s are its not indicative of Pac's actual drawing power. I know over my parts, people saved money by havin boxing parties. I know someone who just connected a stream from his laptop and hooked it up to a projector. A lot of people in this recession choose to find ways to save money. It doesn't mean there is less interest. In fact it seems there's a ****load of interest. I had like 4-5 party-invites for the fights and had to choose one. I never had that happened to me before....boxing parties, bars, chatter on the street pre-and postfight. I wore a pino jacket today and a couple of peoples asked me where I got it from....Pac got people talkin, even nonflips, even my neighborhood which is Floyd country. No doubt about that.

Best post that i read so far

What? ...this is the only fight that was broadcast overseas? GTFOH.

It makes me smile how Fat Yanks talk about PPV as if the Fat Yank $$$$ is the only important thing. If a million Brits bought this at £15 a pop, then...

The pound is worth more then 25% less then it was in Dec 2007, so Ricky's haul in US dollars will look weak in comparision.

UK
15*1.5= 22.5
22.5*1,000,000=$22,500,000

US
55*700,000=$38.500,000 (I use 700k because first PPV figures are 10-15% low usually)

Both are big numbers though and when you add up the whole event a lot of money was made by all, hard for me to call it a disapointment.

Why would it make you so happy to see this great fight do bad. No matter what it sold at least people got their moneys worth unlike Floyd's **** PPVs.

[LeftHookDonaire]

That figure is from insider reports.

Notice there is no announcement from HBO yet. The figures are in, and Arum has requested that the numbers not be published.

Domestic US PPV buys are under 650K. Disappointing.

Floyd sucks hes not even closed. Hatton/Pac fight sold 1,650,000 buys in the US alone. You failed.

A **** undercard and a 5 minute uncompetitve main event is worth $55? You have a strange sence of what is a good value, it was about equal although it did have a very good ending.

Nobody mentioned Mayweather... but you.

Why are you hurt by Pac's weak sales?
