Pacquiao's best 1.25 mil Mayweather's best 2.4 million

[jrv1932]

That's funny how you try to make Pac's numbers 2.5mil because of the recession. So that means his 200k versus Diaz should have been 400k lol. What about the fact that Ricky Hatton had NEVER been on PPV before the Mayweather fight. He was huge in UK but relatively unknown by casual fans in US. He was made a star by 24/7 and the Mayweather fight despite the loss, therefore that translated into more PPV sales against Pacquiao

Let me explain to you how recession works in a troubled economy. And I mean worldwide.

It hits a record of around 70% on a global scale and your guess is right, Pac/Delahoya fight happened on that time.

Mayweather/Delahoya=2.4M buys. Fine.
Pac/Delahoya = 1.25M buys=ok

Now, factor out the recession lets say on just 50%. Pac/DLH should should translate 2.5M buys on an even economy. In recession, people left spendings at home, keep funds in the bank, less investment, cut down on expenses, and that includes PPV.

You think Mayweather is the draw? Really? Im very sad on that one.

He keeps on bragging He is the draw, yet we have been getting a lot of press releases as of late that his fight with JMM cant sell tickets. Remember, when theres smoke, theres fire. And i find it funny GBP is announcing they are moving the date of the fight to coincide with Mexican Independence day to capture the mexican audience. lol. If Mayweather is the draw as he keeps on bragging, why He needs the Mexican crowd to sell PPV? Dont you think?

Pac/Hatton, on a recession did 850buys against Mayweather's reported 925buys. Again, ON A RECESSION!

Pac is the current draw until he loses! Mayweather should be happy with 40% or at most 45% if they ever fight.

This is Pac's time. Deal with it.

So that means if they fight...

PBF gets 70
PAC gets 30 .... right?

You don't have a clue... 50/50...

[Addition]

Which of the two drew more ppv buys fighting Hatton?

[shade darkar]

So why should PAC's 1.25 gainst DLH get him the lions share against cotto?

pacs p4p number 1. cotto isnt.

its dela hoya and pbf best not pbf alone = it is dela hoya who draws lot of people not pbf, before dela hoya fight and hatton, what is the best paperview buy of pbf? can anyone answer me

[boxasmash]

pacquiao vs marquez 2 = 16,000 tickets
mayweather vs marquez = 3,000 tickets

[Kalion]

You don't have a clue... 50/50...

Please read all the posts and see my reasoning as to why I said that before you reply.

[them_apples]

It was the recession back then, and, pacquiao fought DLH to gain popularity, this is why the Hatton fight did almost identical numbers and that was during the recession as well.

[Sin City]

you guys forget to mention that Pacquiao did his PPVs deep in a recession.. Mayweather did them when the economy was still good.
Mayweather couldn't even sell 3000 tickets to a fight in his hometown!
