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

[Dagreatest]

1.1 million is not bad @ all. Especially fighting a guy that just came off suspension a year ago. If Pac fights a washed up Mosely I think it would do over 1.5 million. A fight against Berto would do around the same as the Margirito fight. Berto just doesn't have the name. For all you Floyd fans, Pac is a bigger draw than Mayweather. He would sell more PPVs fighting Mosely than Mayweather did.
People just enjoying watching this man fight.

Uh Oh!!!! Mayweather fans are gonna start bustin loads for a week lol.



Still a good turnout nonetheless.

PPV buys under Floyd Maynever's PPV record is fail. -*****s

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.

[lfc19titles]

two americans sell 1.4m

2 non americans sell 1.15m possibily rising to 1.2m

damn good performance

[Bring It On]

BS.

yesir already told us that it made 800k.

[V.WEBB]

Boxing aint dead, but it did more than I thought it would.

[wazaa.]

But Arum said it was way more than 1 million. way more. at 1.1 million.

[Phil Ivey]

I've said it from the start, 1.1 mil at best. Yet some idiots maintain that it will do over 1.4 mill and *******s making threads about Pac being the PPV king based on PPV predictions rofl, 1.1 mil is very good but don't kid yourselves.

[tredh]

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.

[loui_ludwig]

Arum and HBO first said that they expect at least 700,000 buys. This days, 1 million is a really great.
