Pacquiao vs Margarito: 500,000 buys is pushing it.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Not trying to be funny but i honestly dont think this fight sales. Looking back at these two fighters last fghts, this fight equals disaster. Pac is coming off a boring win over Clottey which only did 700,000 buys. Margarito is coming off a year long ass whooping and a suspension for cheating. Not to mention the fight is being fought at a catch weight of 150 for the 154 strap. I dont see how this fight sales. Not saying the fight wont be interesting, because even i want to see Margrito take a dive or beat Pacquaio fair and square.


500,000 buys is what im predicting..

Oh and Pavlik pulled out the under card event...do your remember the Pac vs Clottey undercard???? really stunk up the place!

will justin.tv hold this fight?? We'll see

The last fight doesn't really mean much. Floyd had an awful fight with Baldomir then broke the PPV record in his very next fight.

over 750k surely

I'm sure it will do as good or better than the Clottey fight. 500k? Pacquiao fighting a guy that's guaranteed to fight back deserves more credit than that.

If it does'nt do a Mili I'd be shocked.... For boxings sake, I hope it does well tho.....
I'm not ordering it, but I will be at the fight party.

Agreed. if pac-marg doesnt get more than pac-marg, theres sumat really wrong

i'd be really surprised if it does 500K. my guess would be around 750K-900K though.

I wouldn't be shocked if it do a 1 Million PPV buys. I expect the final numbers 2 be around 850k. HBO is selling this fight lovely with the first 2 episodes of 24/7. **** got me thinking Margarito might actually **** Pacquiao up.

Yeah, fro HBO, im pretty sure that they be targeting over 800k ppv buys defo. Top Rank wont be happy if it doesnt beat pac-clottey numbers, thats why id say that pac-marg will do 750k-1m. Be very suprised if it did over 1m tbh

Timing is everything. And fans are starving for a big fight. This fight reaches the right demographics and will go well over a million.

^^^this.

mexicans love good fights and this is one of them. whether they root for margarito or hate him, they're probably buying coz of the drama. and a lot of mexicans are pac fans too. now plus pinoys and the usual ppv buyers which probably have increased too, it's been a while since the last good ppv fight.

it'll reach a million.
