Yall need to get off that it wasn't 2 americans bull****. How can people claim Manny is such a huge international star, the biggest draw, the face of boxing which is a world wide sport but say well "the fight did good for 2 non-americans"? All the different nationalities that live in America people can't claim this non-american ****. You can't have it both ways Manny is a star and that is great for Manny. Just because it didn't do what Arum and Manny fans predicted don't throw that non-american **** out there that is b!tchassness!!

1.1 mill is a very good number no matter who did it.

LOL ... I know right?

Yea, its hilarious and I don't even really get into all of the ppv buys talk.

pretty damm impressive numbers for a pac fight against a guy like margarito.

[Chups]

Damn, just 1.1 million? Pac should start Twitting and posting on Facebook!!

The whole "who sells more ppv's" is never an argument I'm going to understand.

My opinion is anything north of 1 million buys, is fantastic.

You have too much sense, you're a misfit here.

Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito Brings 1.15 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

It was announced by Mark Taffet, the senior vice president of sports operations and pay-per-view at HBO, that Manny Pacquiao's fight with Antonio Margarito generated 1.15 million pay-per-view buys and $64 million dollars in pay-per-view revenue. The fight took place on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao has been involved in at least one pay-per-view for the last three years that sold over a million units. He sold 1.25 million for the bout with Oscar De La Hoya in 2008 and 1.2 million for Miguel Cotto in 2009. Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum expected at least 1.25 million for his fight with Margarito.

Not bad at all.

Maybe it's just me, but I think anything over 1 million buys is damn good.

Think about it. A milion. That's a lot. LOL.

no. because it is about expectation. as the article said, top rank expected much more.

margarito is the most popular mexican fighter and they had a 24/7.

$10 million is a lot of money...right? but not to bill gates.

context.

mosley isnt a draw at all. when he fought margirito most of the fans there were fans of margirito. mosley fought callazo in a barely sold out small arena. floyd did 1.4
many did 1.25 with oscar floyd did 2.2 with oscar. floyd did 1.1 with marquez manny did 400,000 with marquez. it has nothing to do with race color or anything. floyd is the bigger draw hands down. if floyd fought margirito he would have done 1.4 or higher


ALL ROADS LEAD TO FLOYD
