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

[letsgobrady]

Yes but it was only you and a few rabid ******s who expect that to exceed 1mill.

I myself thought it to max out to a mill only.

everybody thought that fire power was gonna sell more than numero uno

[PeterinMI]

MMA aint got NOTHING ON BOXING BABY!!!!! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT YEAR FOR THE SPORT!!!!!

Right on. We should all be able to cheer this year after some of its early tragedies. Green for you.

[Jiddu Dali]

Are you serious or just plain ignorant? So since most of us are poor only the Mexican population generated the million buys right? That's the most stereotypical mess I've heard in awhile but you must have PRIDE in prejudice

Man you didnt know?.....Marquez's fan base is soooooo big that in 2008 Last year Marquez/Casamayor was the worst of all HBO PPv's with 100k buys..............

[-Boxzilla-]

Yea you are right...that fight was PPV...and it did squat!!!..I forgot that fight was on PPV, I streamed it

ya it sold as well as the last zab judah independent ppv ... not saying nothing against pac cotto, just that jmm isnt that big of a draw and if people think he was truly responsible for a big number of the million buy he got with pbf they're just hating ...

[Killa_Kali]

it certainly was a success, but it was not enough to warrant a bigger split against floyd mayweather.

i'm not a "stan" i'm just a realist

i still think you're moving one goalpost after another. what is "enough" for you?

the no.2 biggest ppv event in history btw - tyson vs lewis, only had 1.9m ppvs.

[PensionKiller]

Honestly, 300K is good numbers. Thing is, Pacquiao, Mayweather are in that level where most would expect 800K+ out of them, so 1M+ is indeed great.

I'd say Pac-May, May-Pac might reach 2 mil.

I was surprised that Marquez Vs May was 1 mil. No one really guessed that would happen. Floyd can promotoe a fight better than anyone. Maybe they spent a lot on the promtion I don't know but 24/7 was good for sure.

Pac-Cotto was expected to do atleast 1 mil IMO. Arum etc kept talking rubbish about how 1.6mil was achievable etc... If only Cotto and Pac could have a good and bad cop situation and speak better english.

This is why i think Floyd VS Pac will do great. P4P king's. Good VS Bad cop. Asian VS Black. East VS West. Super stars. Boxing ATG'S.

Off topic. Just had my wisdom tooth taken out from the dentist because it had a hole and I couldn't be ****ed to get it looked at for 2 years. My tooth was hurting me on and off but this last 2 weeks killed me. Had to get it taken off. I'm in pain now because the anaestetic wore off!

[Killa_Kali]

everybody thought that fire power was gonna sell more than numero uno

it did. 1.25m to 1.05m. pac and cotto outdrew floyd and jmm.

[one-Punch]

1.25m is roughly what i expected after seeing the numbers Floyd v JMM put up.

Impressive but not conclusive in the "bigger draw" argument - in fact if anything I'd say Mayweather's Numero Uno numbers are the more impressive.

How are Mayweather's numbers more impressive? If Cotto Manny made 1.25, and and Mayweather Marquez made 1, then Cotto Manny's numbers are more impressive. Don't forget, most of the buys during Mayweather Marquez were mexican fans. Either you are being bias, or I completely don't understand what you just said.

[rob6465]

Cotto tells Pacquiao and Floyd.....Just do it and stop bickering....lol

[PAKYO]

first off most of you pacquiao fans don't know **** about boxing all you know about is manny pacquiao so for the most part you are ******.
how am i makin stuff up?all i said was that i don't think pacquiao and his people want the fight with floyd and if you want some reasons why i think that here they go
1.if pacquiao and his people wanted to fight floyd they would have gave up the bigger piece of the pie but they didn't they could of fought floyd instead of miguel but they didn't want to they had rather fought miguel cotto and gain some more leverage over mayweather
2.manny pacquiao says he doesn't have to call floyd out
3.ariza and roach had both said that manny doesn't need floyd that they could always fight marquez for a 3rd time
4.the fact theat manny and his team want it to be split 60/40 for pacquiao and they also want the fight at 145
in all reality if pacquiao and his people really wanted the fight they would make it happen

You just confirmed your ******ity with your explanation.
I don't need to point it out you won't get it anyway as you're a *****.
