Bob Arum: "Initial PPV numbers are in, final tally won't get lower than 650,000"

[jrosales13]

Decent numbers....

Just decent?

[THE REED]

Just decent?

People got to used to hearing 2.5 million. 2 million, 1.4 million.. 1 million.

Not realizing those numbers are RIDICULOUS.. and that 700k is GREAT.

400k - 500k IS GREAT.

True,

700k is great and if it is true they did without much promotion or hype. All I heard during fight week. "It doesn't even seem like a fight is this weekend" Imagine if Arum would of went all out do what Golden Boy does. He could of possibly broke a mili.

But, Arum just said here is Pac here is cowboy stadium buy the fight. And, that was the whole promotion.

And really... that's 700k with Joshua Clottey.

Which, I think is the BIGGEST point of all.

[INVINCEABLE]

Good numbers. It was funny to see some predicting near and over 1 million. This fight wasn't going to be as big or bigger than Pacquiao vs. Hatton.

[KILLA RIGHT]

im gonna say 750k

[Check]

Thought it would end up doing 650,000. Since it is going to be higher than that, it's pretty impressive.

[RSBonos]

People are exaggerating that one boring PPV will effect future shows.

Pac is a star who put on an impressive performance even if the fight itself was bad, this was also the first boring Pac fight in ages. Tyson, ODLH, Mayweather all bounced back from boring PPVs.

800k PPV buys is very impressive for this fight, instead of bickering about Mayweather vs Pac, we should celebrate the fact that a boxing PPV did so well.

[War Dinamita]

700K-800K.

Good numbers for a Pacquiao fight.

SSM and Floyd will sell double than Manny's fight.

[Panchito]

I'm thinking it does 900k+ "if" 650k+ is their prediction number based off satelite orders alone.

Directv has 18million subscribers
Dishnetwork has 14million
Comcast cable 23.559 million

according to wikipedia.
