Don't see why Dan Rafael, who is the biggest Mayweather hater on the planet, would report a lie.

BTW, where's an offiial Top Rank or Showtime release of the 1.3M Pacquaio-Mosley supposedly did?

That is "official" Golden Boy Promotions numbers, not HBO. I have trouble finding official word from HBO. Did you find that? Their word is as good as Arum's without official HBO (or Showtime) confirmation.

The momentum is going over to Pacquiao. The only thing different for Floyd lately is raising the price on his PPV show with a bunch of star Mexicans on the undercard.

Pacquaio-Marquez III is the same $54.99 Mayweather-Ortiz was. As a matter of fact, Mayweather loses a lot of PPV sales by making his fights available in the movie theaters, something Pac doesn't do.

BTW, you're totally delusional if you think people are shelling out PPV dollar$ to watch undercard fights. In reality, most of the people ordering Mayweather and Pac's shows don't know but two fighters on the planet, and that's Money and Pac.

Like I said, doubt Dan Rafael would report a lie that helps Mayweather.

BTW, since we're talking official network reports, where's the Showtime reort of the Pacquaio-Mosley numbers. I'd settle for a Top Rank release. Matter of fact, I'm still waiting for a Top Rank release of the Pacquaio-Hatton numbers, which is another common opponent in which Pac was outdone by Mayweather. I guess Pac needs to beef up those undercards huh.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz to reclaim a welterweight title on Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated 1.25 million buys and $78.44 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, Golden Boy Promotions announced Friday.

Dan Rafael was only reporting what GBP said. LMAO!!!

So, where is the official HBO press release regarding the PPV?

Mayweather-Ortiz suggested retail price was $59.95 and more for HD.

Dan Rafael will do what he's paid to do and then pig out at the free press buffet. Doesn't matter much with the fighter or promoter.
