Comments Thread For: Arum Aims For 1.5 Million Buys For Pacquiao-Marquez

[Ring Leader]

700,000-800,000 buys IMO

This fight has generated little interest, it is a trilogy but at this point in their careers and at this weight it is designed to be a one sided beat down. People are sick of not getting Mayweather-Pacquiao and people will stop buying. Mayweather's #'s from his last fight suggest people are losing interest in these fights that do not involve both Pac and May in....

This fight will do somewhere between 900k-1.1mil. No way does it do 1.5 million

People have to remember three things
1. Its close to Xmas
2. Some have already blown their cash on the September Mayfight
3. A lot of the hardcore and latino fans are saving their cash for the Margarito/Cotto fight in December.

Numbers were never officially released for the Pac Mosley fight. All hearsay numbers.

Yeah, just like Mayweather-Ortiz numbers were never officially released. Officially released = HBO or Showtime (not Ellerbe or Golden Boy or Top Rank). Even HBO tends to inflate numbers, but not as much as these promoters.

i think they can beat mayweathers number because both pac and marquez have alot of fans. but neither of them sure as hell can't beat mayweather in a fight. viva juan manuel Waaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrquez!!!

Proof or GTFO.

I'm not buying this bull**** when I can watch a stream then a replay...**** Bob Arum.

You go do that. LOL.

You know, this is funny.

Arum can make Mosley vs Pac II a long with a few 24/7 episodes and you guys would be all over it.

Some of ya'll just accept anything. You'll be at home saying "This is a BS fight (Mosley vs Pac II)", while you hit the purchase button on TV.

I think the Floyd lovers are too worried that their 1.4M lie would be broken.

not even bro....floyd vs marquez only did 1.025 mil...so if pac vs jmm 3 does even just 1.1 mil, pac is the new ppv king...

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Losing interest at 1.25m?
