Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Mosley Grabs at Least 1.2 Million PPV Buys

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum advised the New York Times that last Saturday's fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, based on early projections, generated at least 1.2 million purchases on pay-per-view. Arum would not be surprised if the number exceeds into the realm of 1.4 or 1.5 million. The exact buyrate figure should be received by the end of the week, Arum told the paper. Pacquiao won a twelve round decision over Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

You really are that one-dimensional as a fan that you actually cheer for promotional companies...that just makes me feel sad for the sport.

1.3 PPV buys is damn good considering Mosley is way past his prime. Good numbers for our sport.

I actually wished it was lower. Really embarrassing fight. I guess this means Manny stays on Showtime.

I'm cheering for Pac. Pac just became the only fighter to sell over a million in a single fight for 4 years in a row. He deserves every bit of success he gets. And the more numbers it sells the better it is for our sport as a whole. And the UFC had a fight that night also and the Heat Celtics were playing. And don't forget about Lady Gaga. Boxing needs to be back on national TV and Pac and Top Rank is leading the way. Unless your just a hater who doesn't care about the sport.

HBO was talkin **** about not wanting any more Pac fights and they have too much influence who fighters should face. e.g. They didn't want Martinez to fight his last 2 mandatories like a lil b*tch.

And GBP claims there a top promoter and they tried to defame Pac without a single shred of evidence yet they have only sold 50k PPVS this year?

Don't talk **** cuz when the numbers come you look like a ****ing moron.

If the final number is above 1 mil, Pacquiao becomes the first fighter in PPV history to record 4 consecutive years of at least 1 mil buys (He was tied with Tyson).
