Why don't Pacquiao fans buy his PPVs????

[The Badguy]

How would you know? Mayweathe-Mosley made more at the gate than Pacquiao-Clottey and Pacquiao-Clottey had more than double the fans. That proves that there is a huge demand for Mayweather tickets because the fans are willing to pay a lot more to watch him fight.

Blob you always drop in at the right time....

PPV is more or less an American institution (Canada and PR included), and the vast majority of Pacquiao fans are Filipino for obvious reasons. Still, Pacquiao is a PPV powerhouse despite being foreign and having English as his second language. He's averaging 1 million buys in his last 4 PPV fights.

If they had PPV for his fights in the Philippines, he'd routinely have buys in the 3-5 million range probably.

Because his tickets are far more exspensive than Manny's.

not necessarily. Mgm was giving away free mayweather-marquez tickets with a buffet purchase.

Filipinos buy Pac's PPVs. The problem is that there's like 40-100 Filipinos watching one PPV. I saw Pac/Cotto at a buddy's house and there were around 35-40 people (mostly Filipinos) watching the fight in his living room through a projector. I watched Pac/Hatton at some guy's backyard and he probably had over 100 people there.

They treat Pac's fights like events. You should try going to a Filipino's house during a Pac fight, they usually have a LOT of food there. Filipinos are usually thrifty. Why buy a $55-60 fight when you can just bring a pizza or some other dish and drive to a friend's house?

I ordered the Hatton fight there were about 15 of us watching. I went to another friends house for the Clottey fight.....there were about 20+ of us. The only Pac fight that I ordered that had less than 10 was the Cotto fight.....there were only 6 of us. But every one of them had great food served.

Pac's fight with Margarito will do 1 million to 1.5 million PPV buys and will draw 80,000 fans to Cowboy Stadium. Mayweather seems able to sell PPV's marginally better than Pacquaio however Pacquaio has more fans showing up to his fights.

You really think this fight will sell more than Cotto vs. Poochiao?

I think they sell 750K-1M and get 75K people to show up to the fight. One of the big reasons why more Pac fans show up to the fights is because the tickets are cheaper than a Mayweather fight. You can take a family of 4 to a fight compare to one ticket at a Mayweather fight.

Pacquiao has 10 times as many fans as Floyd does, yet he sells half as many ppvs. I'm not getting into that who sells more PPV **** but I'm just saying Pac should have way more PPV Buys than he does. And I was on this site when he fought Clottey. You guys should have seen how many people were asking for "A LINK"!!! All these guys say they are DIE HARD Pacquiao fans but they are watching pirate broadcasts of his fights....Why is this? 60 bucks ain't **** to me. (shrug)

you do know that one is an american while the other is not right?

Pinoys don't buy PPVs, lol. How come their other stars don't sell **** if Pinoys buy PPVs? Why did Pac have to fight washed up Mexican legends in his career to make a name for himself and be able to sell?

not necessarily. Mgm was giving away free mayweather-marquez tickets with a buffet purchase.

Giving them away doesn't mean they are not more exspensive it means they didn't sell.
That said floyds live gate was more than manny's and manny had 3 times a smany pople.
Bob gave away staggering numbers of tix to manny/marg.

You can buy $50-100 tickets to a Pacquiao fight.

$50 will get you a ticket to a closed circuit room for a Mayweather fight with no beer.
