Where is the Pacquiao vs. Clottey hype?

[jrosales13]

You never agree with anyway. BUt i'll beat you all the time in Predictions.

What? We never bet it... What predictions have you beaten me in?

[jrosales13]

De La Joto fight was a million PPV buys, Hatton was close to a million, the fight against Cotto exceeded expectations. And you know PAC gained the respect of the Puerto Rican fans.

You can bet his fanbase grew just from that. Puerto Ricans love action fighters, add the Mexican fans that have watched him through the years. I would consider 3/13 a bust if it does lower than 800k PPV buys.

PAC with hardly any promotion automatically brings with him 400k PPVs

So this fight has to reach 800k or you consider it a bust? I don't think you can consider that a bust... Somehow fans got spoiled by all this PPV numbers...

Not even a 24/7. Just better promotion in general.

Keeping in mind that even though Arum has done a **** job promoting this fight, he will still get a 27% cut out of Pacquiao and Clottey's pay.

Of course he will. And then Pac will voluntarily give him another 10% for being such a great promoter!

Bet me 50k right now that this fight doesnt do 1 Million.

on one hand, there may be a lot of backlash over the roid controversy and may-pac fallout. on the other hand, he's manny pacquiao. people seem to love the guy. i personally don't think it'll do a million, but i wouldn't have a heart attack if it did. people still watched tyson even when they expected a 1st round ko.

600k.............

[Doctor_Tenma]

600k.............

I predict 500/ 550K. Those are damn good numbers also but it can do alot better I believe.

[bojangles1987]

700K

Pac's name is big enough to carry this fight, like Mayweather's was to carry the Marquez fight.

I predict 500/ 550K. Those are damn good numbers also but it can do alot better I believe.

What you predicting and what Burner predicted are really not flops of a fight... Those are good numbers... Could it do better with better promotin? Yes it can... But, considering who the opponent is 500k-600k are good numbers... I personally would be really surprised if this fight did a million or close to it... That would mean I really underrated Pacquiao drawing power...
