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

[iHateThePacMan]

Even after beating Numero Dos by 20%, floyd would ask for more split? come on thats pretty much mess up for anyone including both sides to ask for more than 50%

i think everyone is forgetting another big factor... UFC

floyd vs marquez went up against franklin vs vitor
pac vs cotto went up agains vera vs couture
and couture is i think top 3 biggest draw in UFC

not making excuses, pac cotto still won...

franklin vs belfort was on ppv couture vs vera was not

some of you pac fans didn't want this fight to come off to begin with.

like what i said, 1.25 million is bigger than 1.05 million. you do the math. it's 50% or pac's camp will accept shane's call out.

in any case, pac is in no hurry.

If roach is that confident in his boy, why not offer to fight for 100% of the purse. I don't know if its ever happen in the history of the sport.

What is the incentives for doing the fight?

[S.G.]

i cant grasp your logic when you say 1 million is larger than 1.25 million.

seriously.

i'm not saying it's "larger", i'm saying it's more impressive if you take into account factors such as the opponent's drawing power, the promotional tactics, and the preconceptions of the actual fights that were perpetuated.

Not only this, MArquez/Mayweather had a BETTER UNDERCARD

if only the filipinos bought ppv instead of waiting for it on youtube or going to their neighbors. lol

PPV is not available in the Philippines. If it was, PAC-COTO could have sold additional .5M PPV buys easily. Unlike the US, the Philippines is not in a recession. Our economy never had any negative growth. Americans should start realizing the fact that they cannot look down on another country anymore. We are better off than you.

While the average American cannot afford the $50, many Filipinos would be willing to spend that much to watch PAC fight. I for one earn several times more than the average American. And while some Filipinos can go to their neighbor to watch, Americans cannot because their neighbor cannot afford it either. LOL!!!

That sums it up. Could the new COD Modern Warfare 2 have had a negative affect on Fire Power? Maybe I'm reaching?
