Mosley-Pacquiao real ppv numbers

Could be withholding actual ppv due to tax reasons. The higher they declare publicly, the less leeway they would have on the IRS, especially on GBP`s share on Pacman. We should broaden our perspective, the minimum of what was actually said could be a lot higher.

I don't know but I hope that farce of a match flopped tremendously.

And, I hope the next farce(Pac-JMM III) flops.

Maybe if both flopped back-to-back. Then hopefully 2011 Pac would go back to what made him special and go on a run like his 08-09 run.

That Pacquiao is gone. That Pacquiao wouldn't have let Margarito and Mosley live. Only way that Pacquiao comes back, and this is a big IF, is if the Mayweather fight happens, if it ever happened.

I heard about the estimates which were going to be 1.2m + but never heard the real numbers.I can not go on estimates because Arum has lied about numbers before.I remember one disappointing Pacquiao fight that Arum refused to have HBO release the official numbers.

What was the actual ppv numbers for this fight.

Be honest(if thats possible), why do you care enough to keep dribbling on about this?

Does it really matter what the numbers are? We all know he can sell fights. PPV numbers shouldn't mean anything to us fans. I see PPV numbers as how many people (casual fans mostly) they tricked/convinced into buying the card.

Pacquiao VS. Mosley Generates 1.3 MILLION PPV

Sources close to the information have informed us that Manny Pacquiao's unanimous decision victory over Shane Mosley last month generated roughly 1.3 million pay-per-view buys. Initially, early projections had promoter Bob Arum estimating at least 1.2 million buys, but with the bout being distributed by Showtime Pay-Per-View and promoted heavily by CBS on network television, expectations were high for a number between 1.4 and 1.5 million. Just days after the fight, a report in the New York Times said Arum expected to know the exact numbers within a week, but that was nearly a month ago. Although representatives from Top Rank Promotions have yet to make the final number official, FightHype.com was told over the weekend by two sources that the number is right around 1.3 million.

"Bob told us to expect between 1.3 and 1.4 million, but it looks like it's going to be closer to 1.3," said one source close to Shane Mosley's camp. Another source with knowledge of the numbers flat out stated, "It was 1.3 million!" Obviously, a number like 1.3 million has to be considered a success when it comes to pay-per-view events, however, given that Top Rank has been slow to make the official numbers known to the public, one has to wonder if Bob Arum is truly pleased with the final tally. Although it exceeded the number of pay-per-view buys for any of Pacquiao's previous bouts, it still fell short of the 1.4 million pay-per-view buys generated when Floyd Mayweatehr fought Shane Mosley in May of 2010. It should be noted that unlike most boxing pay-per-view events in the past, Pacquiao vs. Mosley, which aired live on Saturday, May 7, was also still available for purchase the following day after the event first aired.
