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

No he wasn't. He was an old 32 and him being in the best shape of his life was just an illusion.

Now 38 year old Shane Mosley who had been inactive for 1 1/2 years and 37 year old blown up lightweight/career featherweight Marquez were 2 top notch prime, young fighters.

Get your facts straight.

I need to keep up with the times..

With ppl boycotting this fight, I am surprised it still did get that much.

If floyd ever got in the ring with manny, I wonder wat PPV numbers would be like...

[l3xxer]

wow.. I'm a little surprise, I thought it would only make about 800k

[lopez36]

i remember one of the posters here constantly writing about how he can't wait to see the numbers and laugh...well,i don't think he'll be laughing,this sold well,i don't know why he thought it wouldn't,mexican boxers have a lot of fans,mexican fans buy the ppv,go to fights,they are big fans of the sport,i knew that if with clottey he sold the amount he did,with marg it would be more....so when i read what that guy wrote about laughing,lol,that was actually funny,

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.

well said! you saved me the time of saying what i was going to say

[sargo]

Very good number considering the economy.

[FLY TY]

Agree. Pac can probably fight anyone right now and do great numbers.

except joshua clottey....lol

wow.. I'm a little surprise, I thought it would only make about 800k

i agree with this.

[Boxing's Truth]

Let's get one thing straight here. The only reasons why Pac fought Fred Flinstone was because Margs was a punching bag waiting to get punched on and his abililty to draw the Latino crowd.

It's not like Margs was the best competitor available. And for a star like Pac fighting a well known Mexican these PPV numbers fall short.

Although I will admit that anything above a million buys isn't too shabby but this is supposed to be the best fighter in the world.

[sicko]

just like I said about Mayweather numbers, anytime you go over 1 Million in buys that is GREAT so IMO 1.1 is pretty good

you ****** fans need to stop worrying about PPV buys as if you are getting paid from those Buys, that is why the fans don't get many fights now because they set these BULL**** Predictions/Expectations, so now the Promotion and the fighters feel the Pressure to live up to Expectations and certain fighters don't get a chance because they are "NOT A DRAW"

[megas30]

150 K more then Mayweather Marquez

*****s owned again

Lol...this idiot is reaching!!!
