Iole: "Pac-Mosley PPV Will Be Sold Online as Well as TV."

[-Boxzilla-]

Stuff like this is why Top Rank is miles and miles ahead of all the other boxing promoters combined. Last week the Ortiz vs Berto fight was at Foxwoods and they couldn't even sell 2000 tickets. Pacquiao and Mosley sold out in 30 minutes at the MGM. The week before that GBP Action Heroes PPV did less than 50k buys. Pacquiao Mosley will easily do 1 million PPV's.

Hate on Top Rank all you want but they know how to promote a fight and get their fighters paid.

Huh... it will most likely be cheaper online than it would be on TV ($60). You can just hook your comp up to your 47" inch and it would be virtually the same thing but for less cash.

No, I don't think it would. I doubt that the stream will be 1080i with pretty high bitrate.

I hope this is not true. At least Ortiz vs. Berto did great ratings.

Yep because no other promoters have ever sold PPV's online before.

Errr tickets are only a small proportion of the revenue, the fight was incredible and the ratings were good. They were both great events and great for boxing and fans - that matters most. Top Rank haven't been doing anything lately, why isn't Arum making Juanma vs Gamboa? Why are fighters like Donaire wanting to leave TR? Pac and Mayweather are both the biggest draws, its not because of how it was promoted rofl... they could sell out a venue located in someone's backyard. So it hardly has anything to do with how its being promoted, whether Pac is promoted by GBP or TR, Pac-Mosley would sell out and do big numbers..
