Pacquiao vs Mosley PPV buys

[bojangles1987]

My goodness what is wrong with you people? Think about how many PPVs have ever done more than 1.3 million buys. There aren't many.

A failure, that's just incredibly dumb hating. Get a life.

Good numbers for a bad fight. Showtime/CBS brought exposure to this fight. CBS/Showtime did there job I'n the marketing department, yet they are still way behind HBO In production, lighting, and commentary In boxing. Its kind of odd that it took so long to bring these figuires out.

PAC vs JMM 3 needs to generate more.

lol at this haters guessing 900k max , some even had the balls to call it 600k

*****s owned!!!!! manny is now the face of boxing!!!

Constantly being outperformed at the box office against common opponents, even with an exaggerated promotional push this time around, now equates to being the face of boxing? Umm...ok.

Even if they didn't meet certain expectations, some outright ridiculous, 1.3+ million buys is a massive success. No one in their right mind expected 2-4 million buys for fights against Shane Mosley. Don't know how it can be construed to be a failure in any way, shape, or form though. But if that helps you sleep at night to believe that, go nuts.

A massive success? It would've done those #'s minus the switch and immense propaganda.

What's up with you ******s arguing over who has more PPV buys? ***** this, ******* this. It's like a circus for the down syndrome in here.

I feel you. Ever since Floyd and DLH broke the record, the battle of the box office has become a bonafide argument for some fans. Pac and Floyd both do incredible numbers and that should be it. My only knock on the Pac fans are them using numbers as a way of "one upping" Floyd. Any time the guy you're "sticking your tongue out" at holds the record and does better numbers against common opponents, you should just be happy that Pac (or any boxer for that sake) is able to do his numbers and keep it moving. When Pac fans start wolfing about it, it just reeks of desperation. Leave the numbers game alone and sit back and enjoy the fights.

1.3 mil is impressive. That said, given the CBS promotion and advertising everyone expected more. Manny is always called the "face of boxing" "most popular" etc. I find it interesting from a PPV sales perspective that floyd mayweather jr. generally exceeds expectations yet MAnny doesn't live up to expectations.

To be fair 1.3 mil for a terrible fight is damn good.

how could you be so sure?

Considering they had CBS air fight camp 360 after 60 minutes should tell you the money that was put into this fight wasn't worth it. He needs to fight Mayweather and stop fighting washed up bums.
