Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Clottey PPV Number To Exceed 700,000

May vs Pac

60-40 mayweather. Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing history now. 2 million + sold if anybody thinks otherwise (pac vs de la hoya only did 800,000 buys) thiers the proof

it was 1.24m buys. That's pretty good.

[FloydTBE]

It did, 700,001

Wow this is such bull****!!! Not only is he getting his license back , but now he will get a pretty good pay day against pacquiao This is one ppv I will not buy. At least I have the peace of mind that after that piece of **** fighter tried to cheat. His return will be even worst than when he left. If he couldnt handle Mosley wtf IS HE GOING TO DO AGAINST THE PUNCHING MACHINE M.P.

700k is impressive. Whoever thinks otherwise is a ******.

yeah its very impressive... just not enough to get the 50-50 split if they do ever decide to make the mayweather fight. Arum wants him to fight margarito anyway though.

Why? Mayweather would be unlikely to achieve 700k PPV against Clottey. Mayweather-Mosley is a much bigger fight because of who his opponent is, not because of him.

Last Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas was a very successful event for Top Rank. WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was a one-man show in the ticket selling department. Pacquiao's opponent that night, former welterweight champion Joshua Clottey, has never been a big name or a big draw in any boxing market. Pacquiao-Clottey still managed to draw a crowd of nearly 51,000 fans [50,994], which is the third largest American audience to attend a boxing event in the last 17 years. [Click Here To Read More]

And you ****** *******s are gonna believe this.Did`nt Arum say Cotto vs Mosley alot better then it really did?

Yeah,its about hype but the fight night is the most important. Hype n tension is great in any fight, it generates more intrest

I agree, other than Pac and Cowboys stadium this was as weak of an event as I have ever seen. The card was shockingly bad. Paid 60$ to watch Pac hammer away at a shell for 12rds. And I'd do it again because Pac has earned that with me. Almost every fight of his I have watched has been exciting except (Clottey and Barrera 2) where his opposition just tried to survive and did everything in their power to not make it exciting. That is why I am a Pac fan and not a Floyd fan. I used to like floyd 4-5 yrs ago but after watching all of his last fights I stopped liking him. He doesn't care at all about the fans and takes on easy fights and does nothing to entertain the fans. **** he fought a safe fight against a blown up super feather in JMM and that was after he missed weight for the fight.

haha?? what about manny pac??

Erik morales lost a trilogy then lost a tune up fight then lost to manny pac!!!
erik was already losing!!!

oscar de la hoya 36yrs old part time fighter since 2002 weight drained and lost 3 of his last 6 fights!! oscar was already losing!!

ricky hatton was knocked out by mayweather and mayweather is not even a power puncher!!!

Miguel cotto looked weak in his last 2 fights at 147lbs now drained to 145lbs.. H.B.O. was even saying cotto was not the same fighter during the clotty fight!!!

MANNY PADDED PACQUAIO!!!


manyweather faught oscar de la hoya at 154lbs and with the gloves oscar wanted!!! mayweather faught a young joseluis castillo, Diego Corrales, a young Zab judah an undefeated ricky hatton,

what prime known fighters has manny pac beat??

So 700k. Like I said yesterday. 800k or more would have impressed me. This doesn't. Don't bother replying to me stating who he fought, and lack of promotion. I know.

700k is good, but not for the supposed biggest draw in boxing. Overall, it's better this way. Less people saw a bunch of ****ty fights.

Lol. So, lemme get this straight. It's going to sell MORE than 700K. Which means, most likely, somewhere in the middle.

Realistically, with the livegate and the majority or people watching at bars, etc. It's falling BARELY short of 800,000, most likely. And because it lacks a few thousand, it doesn't impress you?
