ARUM: Pacquiao-Mosley biggest Manny PPV ever. Between 1.3M -1.4M buys!

Thats because they conned a lot of people that did not no any better, so I do have to give a lot of credit to bob snake arum for being very good at selling **** fights.

The only con that we know is the Gayweather clan. Most of them are ex-convict.

just sayin...

The only person who conned anyone that night was Shane. People paid to see a good fight, even if it lasted 2 or 3 rounds. They didn't pay good money to watch someone whose supposedly a "warrior" run for his life for the first time in his career.

I didn't see any quotes from CBS saying it, only Arum.

What? Are you blind?

AGAIN....

CBS gives Pacquiao-Mosley a prime-time push

Les Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS Corp., was hosting Top Rank officials Bob Arum and Todd duBoef at a dinner in New York in late January when he spoke words that may ultimately change the course of boxing in the United States.

The meal came only a few days after Top Rank had closed a deal with CBS and Showtime to distribute and help it promote its May 7 pay-per-view bout between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, which will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Top Rank’s decision to move to CBS/Showtime and away from HBO Pay-Per-View, which had dominated the industry for the last dozen years or so, sent shockwaves reverberating throughout the boxing industry.

Moonves looked at Arum and duBoef and, referring to the May 7 pay-per-view card, said, “We’ll make this work.” And then, in words that boxing fans in the U.S. have been dying to hear for more than two decades, he added, “I want you guys to figure out how to help me get boxing back [on network television] on Saturday night.”

There are a lot of posters on here that predicted the fight would go down like that. I was not sure Shane would pull that ****, but was not suprised. The fight should never have happened. But cong**** to bob for getting everyones money!!!

Good for business, bad for boxing.

1.3mil to 1.4mil buys?!?!?


so i take it the ***** boycott didn't really work?

[..David..]

I hope the casual fans that bought this saw the Arce vs Vazquez fight at least that one would motivate them to buy another ppv.

Because if they just saw Mosley vs Pac i doubt they are gonna be spending their money on another "Big fight" ppv

Arum and Pac conned the public..

They didn't have to choose Shane..

He wasn't a champion...and didn't look good in his recent fights.

David is the arm in the picture you? Are you on the Pac supplement plan?

[Turok2]
