According to Dan Rafael Pac/Clottey will not have a 24/7 show

[javelin_fangs]

All it needs is 1 countdown show...

HBO's Countdown shows are ******. All it is is a bunch of boxing writers blabbing nonsense about the fight. A lot of times they don't even give real analysis. I remember the one for Hopkins-Tarver. They all just kept saying how they thought that both counterpunchers would turn aggressive just for this fight. Yeah, like that was going to happen. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

But, Pacquiao-Clottey wouldn't make for a good 24/7 anyway.

Oscar when was knows as the biggest attraction in boxing fought Castillejo it did 400k, Oscar challenging for a record of 6 title defenses against Sturm did 380k, Oscar fighting against Campas did 350k, Oscar fighting Rivera did 240k, Oscar fighting Ike Quartey did 570k, Oscar fighting Chavez in the rematch did 525k, Oscar against Miguel Angel Gonzalez did 345k. Those were not considered bust PPVs.

So again Pac doing 500k with an opponent like Clottey who does not have a huge following is a bad thing?

It's not that simple, you can't compare figures in ABSOLUTE terms when the PPV events happened in different times.

At this day and age, when a lot more people have easy access to order PPV stuff, a fight between a prime Tyson and a prime Holyfield would've garnered approximately 3-3.5million buys.

Nevertheless, with only a Countdown show, I'd predict this fight to have approximately 400K-600K PPV buys.

lol..why u bring up Castillejo?

& how many times has Oscar been the P4P #1 fighter in the world?

and Mayweather did over a million with Marquez after a 2 year layoff and after Marquez had the worst PPV on HBO in 2008 doing 100K.....

if your a PPV star you remain one.....

500K for a guy of Pac's caliber at this stageof his career is terrible...

And, again is that a bad thing?

Oscar was a draw, Oscar at one point was considered the #1 P4P in boxing was not breaking 500k with some of his opponents... When you get a mili PPV #s you need to have a dance partner... Nobody can do milli by themselves. Not even Tyson broke a mili by himself...

when was Oscar EVER the #1 P4P fighter in the sport?...lol

[Cash Cow]

And, again is that a bad thing?

if Mayweather did 400K with Marquez...he would have got crucified

Tyson fought in the black box era

It certainly doesn't deserve one.

Dont think its too late to for 24/7 show, If the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight had been made am sure they would have a 24/7 in the same period of time as the Pacquiao/clottey fight.

before the fight was cancelled it was'nt too late....

[Zarco]

Why is this a surprise? This fight was never going to have a 24/7. HBO had to try and make 24/7 Pacquiao-Cotto intersting by overloading Cotto in dramatic slow motion scenes with eccentric music playing in the background. I could only imagine what they would cook up for Pacquiao-Clottey 24/7.
