what im trying to tell you is that pinoys dont do that. everytime pacquiao fights, almost all filipinos watch it, but they dont watch it by themselves, they group up & have ppv parties. Other asians in the U.S. are not that big of a boxing fan. your 13.8 mill is fact, but not each one of them buy ppvs.
Im trying to explain to you why the david diaz fight is a excellent conservative barometer for this argument. no matter who pacquiao fights, pinoys will watch, but they group up & have parties. THE NUMBER 20 IS A CONSERVATIVE AMOUNT OF PINOYS IN A PPV PARTY. The diaz fight is a fight before the pacquiao oscar fight before pacquiao fought hatton & cotto, before pacquiao went mainstream. That fight did not garner mainstream sports curiosity & only pinoys & a few hardcore fans watched it.
5 million pinoys in the U.S., as i have stated all of them watch pacquiao fight everytime, but they group up, divide by 20 which is a conservative safe amount for a fight & you get 250k plus some change from hardcore boxing fans.
The diaz ppv fight result is a perfect illustration of this.
other asians in the U.S. dont care as much about boxing. 13.8 million asians yes fact, not fact is all them buying pacquiao ppv fights.
