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

[badass316]

1.3mil to 1.4mil buys?!?!?


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

What boycott? All 20 of them streamed the fight like they normally do with any other PPV.

[Turok2]

yes...all 1.4mil buys were pinoys


and why do you feel sorry for people who have lives?

because it was boring

arce-vasquez really made the ppv worth 50-60 $

I swear, people here are so incredibly short-sighted it's frightening. It's almost like some of you don't have the ability to think outside of your little box or personal sphere and see the big picture or envision steps down the line. When I first heard about the CBS/SHOW-Top Rank hookup, my immediate thought was that it could be the first step in bringing boxing back to the networks but of course I had guys like IMDizzy argue that it was just a ploy to sell ONE fight, which makes absolutely no sense seeing as how they were able to do 1 mil+ buys for Margarito which was unpopular with the usual HBO treatment. I knew it was going to be more than about just one useless fight, it was about the sport as a whole.


But the head of CBS is a liar just like Arum, f ight h ype jerk off videos are the wave of the future for the sport.

Where in the article was a quote from CBS about adding boxing? I'm not seeing it. I'm not gonna say it didn't happen, but I didn't see it in that article.

Are you trying to play some sort of sick joke?

Shane the old washed up fighter that almost KTFO Gayweather?

The shots on Mayweather in round 2 were the very last fading skills of Mosley. By the time he fought Pac there was ZERO left. May fought the mosley who just KO'd Marg and was the #1 ranked welter and #2 P4P. Pac fought a shane with no win for two years and a loss and a draw!

These are the facts.

Bob Arum needs to give Bernard Hopkins a big thank you for these sales.

I mean, thanks to him, the casuals believed it would be a good, competitive fight as it was the first time Manny would fight a 'Slick African American' fighter.

After Mosley antics, they still do.

He would not have run like that years ago! He was very shot...could not pull the trigger....SHOT!!!!.

You're a f'n moron. A fighter can be shot and still not fight like some b1tch. The latter was never close to being associated with Shane. Shane has been shot since the Mayorga fight, but he never fought like a scared little girl in any of his fights in between.

I'm not debating whether or not Shane was shot, but rather how he lost his balls after the 3rd round. Something that's never happened before.

thats not true !!! there was times in the mayfeather fight that shane was running and from about the 7th round on he was in survival mode !!!!! he was just as shot last yr as he was this yr but mannys explosive offense and power made him run like usain bolt !!!!!


mannys power turns fighters into running cowards

cotto ran like a coward

mosley ran like a cooward

mayfeather outside the ring running like a c o w a r d !!!!
