PAC-Clottey 700K Buys

[-Rab]

If people regretted buying Mayweathers PPVs so much after watching the ODLH fight, Who are people still buying them? His fighting style is never going to change so why are people still buying them?

[adobostreak]

why doesnt the most exciting fighter in the sport sell more PPV's than the biggest ducker and most boring?

easy. because pac is too nice of a guy to talk smack and sell the fight. while floyd talks smack, and everyone buys his PPV hoping to see him lose. (which he will may 1st)

Glad I didn't get the fight. 700,000 looks better than 700,001.

No, Pacquiao's too classy to match Mayweather's mouth.

lol @ you thinking sales mean anything to a boxer legacy.

50 years from now, when people look back, they are going to be talking about pac's legacy, not debate over how much money Floyd made a fight ( and then lost from IRS debts)

at the end of the day, while floyd is making millions a fight you ....as a fan, are still going to be broke. and in 2 years after ********, and a few IRS debts later: Floyd will join you.

Broke?

My car collection is worth more than your dumbass.

How much did you make last year since you like to talk about money? Manny fans sure love to talk about other people's money and Floyd's money.

Pacquiao-Clottey earns big PPV bucks

Manny Pacquiao's lopsided unanimous decision against Joshua Clottey generated 700,000 pay-per-view buys and $35.3 million in domestic television revenue, HBO PPV's Mark Taffet said Tuesday.

The pound-for-pound king routed Clottey to retain his welterweight title on March 13 in the first boxing event staged at Jerry Jones' $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Clottey, a native of Ghana living in New York, brought no significant fan base to the fight and was virtually unknown to the masses, so the figures are a credit to Pacquiao's popularity.

"We are extremely pleased with the pay-per-view performance of Pacquiao-Clottey. Fights like this traditionally do not exceed 400,000 buys," Taffet said. "It is a testament to the popularity of Pacquiao and the vitality of the sport, and it gives us great encouragement as we look toward the May 1 Mayweather-Mosley pay-per-view fight."

The breakdown for Pacquiao-Clottey was 350,000 buys from cable homes, 310,000 from satellite homes and 40,000 from telco homes.

Based on his pay-per-view history, Pacquiao, of the Philippines, has become a crossover star in the United States.

In 12 pay-per-view fights, he has generated 6.25 million buys and $320 million in revenue. The bulk of the total has come from his last four fights: Clottey, Miguel Cotto (1.2 million buys), Ricky Hatton (800,000 buys) and Oscar De La Hoya (1.25 million buys).
