good numbers for two non American fighters

So Manny deserves 65% against Mayweather because he's such a draw.Mayweather did more PPVs against Oscar and against Hatton than the best fighter of the decade.What a shame Bob Arum is.So what became of the whole 2 million PPVS he was talking about.He certainly is think if he thought he could keep this a secret

850K is fantastic for two non-american's, non-mexican fighters. Scratch that, 850K is good for any PPV.

Bob arum must have expected 2 million or something crazy like that and is disappointed I guess.

But he/we should look at the bigger picture. Pacquiao was ALL OVER the media after the fight, everyone and their mama was talking about how great Pacman is. His next PPV will do over a million fasho.

co-sign, which is why i dont care what floyd's #'s did. going forward pac deserves more simply because of how he's got everyone talking about boxing. You can definitly bet Pac's next fight will be a huge success no matter who he fights.

thats good is arum crazy or something why is he not tell us how good this is that pacman is the next megastar of boxing

[QUISQUEYA]

I completely stand by my statements last week

1) that Arum had asked/directed HBO to not release the numbers. VERIFIED HERE, BITCHES

2) that the number is 650K US buys. Contested here, bitches.

Because that is the SECOND time that FMJ outsold manny with a common opponent, with a potential for a THIRD (July 18th).

If Arum allows the nums to get out, it damages his negotiating leverage. If fighters know that they will be in bigger fights (and thus bigger paydays) with FMJ, then it reduces manny's option pool.

It's smart business to play weak numbers close to the vest. Feel me?

And notice that Rafael didn't reveal his sources either, you silly whining bitches.

I got the number, Arum's secrecy be damned. From what my sources tell me, the fight sits at about 825,000 domestic pay-per-view buys with the likelihood that when they're all counted, the total will reach 850,000 or more. - Rafael

Many of you have asked me for the pay-per-view figures for Pacquiao-Hatton, but nobody really knows since Bob Arum now guards his numbers closer than Colonel Sanders did his secret recipe for fried chicken. But one source tells me that it did 'north of 800,000' in the States..... - Kim

Last week, Arum said that it did "north of 900K"...didn't he? What happened to you jumping all over that number?

Also, what did you say when I told you over a week ago that Arum was restricting HBO from releasing the nums?

Truth is undefeated...
