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

[jtiger78]

pacqiuao is a draw no matter who he fights!700 thousand ppv buys tells you alot about pacqiuaos drawing power!mayweather needs to fight a star top fighter in order to draw,if mayweather would of fought clotty nobody would of supported it like they did for pacqiaou.only 250 thousand would of watched mayweather vs clotty.this tells you clearly that pacquiao is the draw! 700 thousand ppv buys tells you pacqiuao is a huge draw by himself,with out fighting a star!wake up gayweather fans!!

why is everything in comparison to floyd??? Lol im being funny but marquez was not a big mega star and the fight sold 1mil in ppv!!! And using the term gayweather is childish u have ur opinion and i have mines but lets keep it mature... The reality is they are both bigt draws at the end of the day

they make it sound like pacquiao sold all those tickets i think it helps that 5 out of the 8 fighters were mexican and that the undeercard future all Texas fighters and finally that tickets were $35 $45 $55 that most expensive ticket was $700

Pac sold everyone of those tickets. This wasn't like Floyd JMM where they had to push the fight back 2.5 months because of a fake injury (Floyd's rib hahaha) promote the **** out of it with 24/7, being in movie theaters and landing it on the mexican independence day. And the fight still couldn't sell out the MGM. There was hardly any marketing or promoting for this fight and it still did very well because Pac is a ****ing rockstar.

700k is a solid amount from either fighter when fighting someone thats hardly bringing in many buys.

you cant compare the numbers on fights though as an exact forumla for which is the bigger drawing fighter i dont think, as too many varible factors that influence the final number - they both draw big and need to get their stuff sorted out and fight

And Marquez has been in PPV battles before including the record for most buys under Welter w/ Pac, also w/ Diaz in the fight of the year last year. Marquez is FAR more recognizable than Clottey and Floyd couldn't sell out his own backyard for that fight, what like 16,000? Plus like you said they had like 1/2 a year worth of promotions, 24/7, Mexican Independence Day, 2 PPV draws.

But in the end, I don't know why fans brag about fighters' numbers, it's not like they will see a dime of that money. I couldn't give a s*** who the bigger draw is, if there's a great fight on the horizon, I'm tuning in.

no excuses needed man yes pac did sell all those tickets alone hes the man! he and floyd are big draws by themselfs

Floyd Mayweather is clearly a bigger start than Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather brought in a million P.P.V. when he fought against Marquez. Pacquiano fought Marquez twice and didn't bring in a million buys in either one of those fights. Now we see Pacquiano 700 to 800 thousand pay per view buys with this fight. Clearly, the American fighter Floyd Mayweather is the bigger star. Even when you compare the P.P.V. numbers that Mayweather had with Hatton and Oscar with the numbers that Pacquiano had with them, we see that Mayweather is by for superior. It's time for us to stop being prejudice and to stop hating on the American fighter Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather is the biggest super star in boxing today. All roads lead to Money Mayweather.

Cool 4 them but that was the worst undercard ive ever seen in my life!!!!!

undercard, more like under ground card. I thght 700k wud be max so if it really come in over 700k...cuz i dont blev **** Bob says but if those number are rel good 4 pac cuz it was his name alone that sold that fight

[Sugar Q]

700 k is an impressive number if it's true. he definitely carried it by himself so this is good look for manny if it's true!

I disagree. Clottey might not be a house hold name but he is well known to boxing fans. Clottey has been in big fights with Margacheato, Judah, Corrales, Cotto and Baldomir and is a former world champion. That merits something. There are Clottey fans out there. They didnt pay him a million + for nothing. Either way you look at it Floyd did far better with pretty much an equally known fighter in Marquez.

[$Bullsfam$]

Definitely overachieved IMO. Shane/Floyd though easily does over a million. Then the winner of these fights.....OMG. If it was Floyd/Pacman I could see it being the biggest and most watched boxing fight ever....
