Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Ortiz: 1.25 Million Buys, Record Revenue

Did Arum or Top Rank ever release a press release for those numbers?

NO !!

Funny that.

But I cant wait to hear Arum's spin on the matter.

Good for Floyd and in the short run for boxing.

I don't know why people are ripping Steve Kim even though he said it's just a rumor. Kim never stated that the numbers were official. He said something and the *******s ran with it as if they struck gold or something.

It looks like Mannix of SI and Fighthype were both incorrect in reporting both of their numbers by 500K-1 million.

Something caught my eye reading Rafael's article though:

"Although the buys equaled those of Manny Pacquiao's 2008 fight with Oscar De La Hoya and virtually matched those of Pacquiao-Shane Mosley in May (official numbers were not released for that fight)..."

Why hasn't Showtime still said anything in regards of official numbers for Pac/Mosley?

Steve Kim should not print rumor, especially one that was so obviously bent.

Go rely on Kim for your info if you wish ^^

Fighthype stated that the fight did well in excess of 1mil PPV's.

Let's see them explain to Erik & Canelo that the numbers are nothing but exaggeration when they demand for their fair share.

Floyd has the 1,2,3 highest PPV totals for no HW bouts; and thse clowns who was spouting off 850k are huring right now.

*******s were getting mixed up with Manny vs Shane thats what that did 850 and thats why the numbers were never officially released for that fight , just Arum with his bull**** totals lol , Arum is such a propaganda whore .

[LeadUppercut]

I am Manny fan but ******* like you should just die.

LMAO even pac-fans are getting sick of *******s

PACQUIAO made 1.3 Million with Sugar Shane.. Seems like PAC has the upper hand here..

BuLL**** !!

Link plz to the official figures.

Dont be so ******.

Arum will not release those figures for a very good reason.

If they were good, he would be crowing about it, like you

[sdcluser]

If true, VERY GOOD number. My initial guess was in the ballpark.

[flint]

can we imagine what the numbers would be if pacquiao quits being a butthurt sissy by dropping the lawsuit,and take the real testing so the fight can go forward.

You won't see Mayweather vs Pacquiao because Arum doesn't want that fight. Don't know why people an't see the obvious.

If you've listened to Mayweather over the past couple of years, that's one thing that he let slip out sometimes, that he doesn't need to fight Pacquiao because he can still make a lot of money fighting everyone else.

So when he gets numbers like the last one, it just reinforces that belief. So why take a risk in not just losing the fight but completely losing out on making that kind of money?

hahaha that should shut up the conspiracy theories by *******s. 'Oh it must of did 800K if it did over 1mill they would've released it by now'. Great number against a relatively unknown fighter to the public, especially when the price of the PPv was at 59.99$ so that equates to around over 1.31-1.34mil.

*******s are angry now.
