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

[Ko King 212]

Why would Top Rank lie with a high number. It would be to their benefit to lie with a lower number. Don't forget Pacquiao has a cut in PPV, the higher the number the more goes to Pacquiao. If Top Rank lies with a bigger number, Pacquiao will be asking for his cut based on that number. I got a feeling Top Rank is probably lying with a lower number and keeping more for themselves.

You cant be serious with this post.


Who alias is this?

2.45M vs. De La Hoya (Highest grossing non-heavyweight PPV)
1.1M vs. Marquez
1.4M vs. Mosley (3rd highest grossing non-heavyweight PPV)
1.25M vs. Ortiz (2nd highest grossing non-heavyweight PPV)

But he'll give him 50/50, he just wants random blood testing.

"""haters will hate till they die but they cant stop the money man""" Absolutely right!!! People can hate Pac all they want but the Pacman is a multi-millionare many times over. Good point.

If Pacquiao vs Mosley did 1.3.........Top Rank should prove it with the official release.
Not some random number thrown out there by the con man Bob Arum.

How long has it been now?
You think Bob Arum would not want to release a buy rate of 1.3 to the public?

If it did 1.3 like Bob said, he would have put out a press release along with SHO.....and the official numbers for the media to print.

1.3 would have been the biggest PPV number in Pacs career.
You don't hide that from the public.

Instead he just told fat Dan that it did 1.3 and over 75 million gross.
WTF.......

Ok so we are suppose to believe that?
Thats like richard schaefer or Ellerebe telling fat Dan that May vs Ortiz did 3 million PPV.

Would you believe that without an official release from HBO?

LOL at 800K...

Damn that is a lot of Pacterds buying his PPV?

How in the hell does one sell that many PPV's at a record cost?

How the **** does a boxer sell that many PPV's at a record cost????

Shyt man... its not even fair anymore...

Is 1.25 even the final #'s?

Damn, Floyd is such a nice guy to give a fighter 50/50 when he's not even on his level of MAKING money or selling PPV's... and you are right, all Floyd wants is a legal document stating that Pac will take random blood tests..

[WESS]

1) So now fat dan is credible but when he reported 1.3 million on a actual article (not tweeting it) about the Pac-Mosley fight, he wasn't?

2) We all know fat dan is a GBP sausage rider

3) Does that include dudes like this?

You mad?

Keep us all updated when an offical release of Mosley vs Pac PPV #'s come out...

Please we all know there were 500,000 Mexicans buying this to watch Canelo. Let Floyd fight with no Mexicans on the under card. Most Americans are not watching boxing they're going to MMA but Oscar knows that Mexican fans are loyal to boxing that is why he puts Mexicans on Mayweather PPV's

[Brockton Lip]

This is good and bad. Good obviously because it shows that anyone that says boxing is dead is a complete idiot. Its bad however because now they think it'll be okay to charge 60 or 70 dollars for ppv which is crap.
And of course this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight so stop talking about it already.
