Why were the OFFICIAL numbers for Shane-Manny never released??

Better question is, why hasn't Showtime/CBS ever challenged the numbers put forth by Arum, especially now considering they're beefing. Also, specific numbers were given:

Arum said Pacquiao-Mosley generated more than $75 million in television revenue with about 700,000 buys coming via cable systems and about 600,000 coming from satellite services.

These are claims that could be EASILY investigated by any scribe/reporter/etc by checking with Nevada and cable companies/satellite providers. I'm sure ESPN fact-checked this before publishing it. But if you're not convinced, launch your own investigation. Hire a private eye to get to the bottom of the mystery. The truth shall set you free.

i think its weird they never did, one thing is for sure though, the fight camp series completely bombed... they had one of the worst ratings for a primetime show in cbs history

It did the worst ratings CBS has ever received in that time slot.

[Larry the boss]

Because 850K buys was an embarrassment after the most promoted fight in the history of the sport.

They had a promo show on primetime network TV. 110 million homes.

STILL failed.

850k??where did you get that number??link??

Bob Arum never lies, his word is GOLDEN and he always speaks the truth so we don't need the OFFICIAL NUMBERS we should just believe him...

No. ESPN did NOT fact-check.

They have in the article what is called attribution.

Jeez.

So...the company that produced the PPV is supposed to spend money on hiring outside agencies...in an effort to prove that they made a poor investment?

You say plenty of idiotic things that are damage control nuthugging for Pac...but that might be the dumbest thing I have ever seen you say.

[AFighter4U]

All we got was Arums claim..Why hasnt Showtime released these numbers???

because most likely their ppv numbers were a HUGE fail, possibly 500k to 800k buys only.

duhhh.

anybody with common sense could answer that.

sometimes, you ask some pretty ****** questions larry.

[Larry the boss]

will they EVER be released to the public?
