Pacquiao-Cotto Generates 1.25 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

[edgarg]

Great numbers for both fights but im slightly more impressed with the floyd jmm numbers as they were unexpected. But you gota chuckle at floyd, telling us the reason he wants jmm is that he has a whole country behind him and then recently telling us the numbers he did with jmm will be more impressive than pac v cotto because he had no dance partner LOL, which is it floyd

I think the Mayweather-Marquez fight numbers was "so unexpected" because it was such an obvious mismatch, but I'd agree that the Mexican fans made up the majority buys.

Though i gotta admit that i expected more. Hard to think that Floyd and Oscar did almost TWICE as much..

yup, and then Floyd killed that fight by running. good way to keep boxing fans.

I expected it to be higher, Cotto is a draw. so, this doesn't exactly help Pacman in the negotiations all that much.

who cares ......50-50 is legit!!

Why not? Jiddu...you look to closely at the numbers and not the substance of JMM.

He made an enormous fan base after the fight with Pac.

Why? Many "casual" mexicans were not expecting JMM to fight the way he did against Pac. Many boxing fans and casual fans noted that JMM was simply an exciting fighter that arguably won the fight against the "Mexcutioner"; furthermore his "Pac-hunt" campaign in higher weights enticed the boxing community and mexican fans alike. Ultimately he created his fanbase by the time Floyd came around. So IMO, I truly believe JMM has developed a HEAVY following.

I swear you are an alt of Horus Haymon lol...
Later!

Then tell me why his VERY next PPV vs Casamayor was the worst HBO PPV last year with 100k buys? and this was with Forrest-Mora 2 on the undercard....then his next fight was on reg HBO......please help me explain

Might I suggest you stop answering this guy. You seem like a pretty decent poster. I would hate for you to continue wasting your time on something like this. Good posters are few and far in between. I just don't acknowledge some folks... they're just not worth it.

Ditto.

You should ignore each other now too....

[DonTaseMeBrah]

i swear to god *****s are mental defective....

A CAREER LOWER WEIGHT FIGHTER FROM A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH HORRIBLE ENGLISH & A PUERTO RICAN WHO WAS NEVER MAINSTREAM & WHOSE HIGHEST PPV OUTPUT WAS 400K JUST OUTSOLD

THE LONE AMERICAN BOXING SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!

1.25 mil > 1 mil

Now according to *****s its a disappointment? That Pacquiao doesnt even deserve 50-50?

ARE YOU *****S LIVING IN BIZARRO WORLD?

[Doctor_Tenma]

People said the same against Baldomir and Oscar. Look at Mayweather now


Fact is, slick defensive counter punchers are more appreciated then we think.

[COACH WEBB]

this thread should do about 1.2-1.3 million views.

[Killa_Kali]

thats what im sayin everybody was hatin on Mayweather Marquez sayin it was a mismatch and they wans't buyin the fight and all the boxing websites were hatin on the fight but it still does a million now they hyped Pacquiao-Cotto like it was going to be the best fight ever and they only did a lilttle bit more than Mayweather-Marquez but with the way they hyped up Pacquiao-Cotto it should have sold at least 2 million PPV

are you on drugs? 2m ppvs? the no 2 best ppv sale in history, tyson vs lewis, only had 1.9m ppvs.
