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

[IMDAZED]

lets see how mayweather/mosley would do in japan in comparison to two of japans top two fighters fighting each other...YOU MORON, ITS COMMON SENSE.

its the same in any sports...basketball for example...you get two international basketball team playing in the U.S..then you compare the number of people watching those two international team vs the numbers that watch team usa vs another team usa...what game would garnish more american viewers in the u.s? DUHHHHHH....

If it's common sense then why doesn't every bout featuring two Americans sell #s through the roof?

Theres a NEW cash cow in boxing. Pacquiao did 1.15 million in buys which is amazing but WAY more ppl saw the fight. Everyone in the Phillipines stopped what they were doing to watch the fight and alot of ppl saw it in Mexico and U.K.. Pacquiao has done 1.85 MILLION buys this year!

Who cares???? This is the sport of boxing not who can sell most PPVs.

I really don't think looking back 20 years from now anybody is going to be like.."Ohh man so and so was was the best, that dude would sell 1.5m PPV per fight!!"

It did better than I expected.

because they're not as popular as was delahoya or floydie...and noone 9excluding heavyweights) outside of floydie and delahoya in the US have garnered that kind of PPV numbers

by the way, you're good at twisting and exagerating things pretty good...now tell me, do you think two top american boxers would outsell two top japanese boxers if these to fights were held in japan a week apart? which fight do you think would outsell the other?

[Carpe Diem]

Great numbers. The UFC would be lucky to make those numbers without Brock Lesnar or someone else fighting.

So it's popularity, not nationality. Now it all makes sense.

your mind is twisted my friend...more popular in a sense as compared to other u.s. boxers, persay...you're making yourself lost

Great number for boxing, kinda around the mark I expected


But realistically, Floyd would've done around 1.5 with Margarito, the guy is just a master at promoting
