Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley Does Good Business, But Numbers Drop

[tomhawq]

lol manny lost his last fight
why is pacfan so angry?

lemme see... pac vs marquez 4 is inevitable. that leaves floyd one year to decide whether to fight pac or not before retirement. bradley rematch will be next after the jmm4. then the bradley trilogy. man, your hero would end up being the only guy who didn't have the balls to fight pac. it's embarrassing. and your concern is about the split? hehe.... you know, i don't mind mayweather vs martinez/khan/alvarez/cotto2/ortiz2 for floyd's next three fights. i don't even mind marquez 2.

To be fair we have to realize that at least 1/3 of the gate (and PPV) buys were Cubans or cuban defectors supporting Rigendioux, and when you consider that both Kennedy and Jones come from philly (who support their fighters well), that's another third right there. Pac has more fans than Bradley so we can assume he is responsible for has 2/3 of the final 1/3 of the revenue, so he is really responsible for about 20 percent of the total purse.

It is safe to say that Manny has little to no drawing power. If this fight does 1 million ppv buys than it means Pac was only responsible for 220,000 people! And he wants 50/50 with Floyd?

To be riilllly reellly fair, you could actually show, with your imaginative arithmetic, that Pacquiao's drawing power is so negative that he actually owes the operators a quarter of a million PPV's. In other words his drawing power is minus 250,000. Right??

The Thread said it does good business...
meaning to say it earned money.

And Pacman is gonna do a Hollywood movie,
while Floydie lost his petition for House Arrest, so he's gonna stay in Jail.

ITT: 99% of people had no idea about Floyd Hatton selling 2million PPV buys until I showed them a link in another thread, now won't stop bragging about it. FML.

50/50 split, kthx.

why are u including the UK?
and the UK numbers are no doubt all for hatton.
if the asian countries were included in any of the PPV numbers where both mayweather and pac was involved in, i can garantee you that pac would demolish mayweather by more than 10s of millons...funny how some people think so one sided

[indystress]

mayweather always does bigger numbers no matter who he fights. ducquiao turned down $40 million dollars guaranteed upfront for this toprank debacle. arum is already chipping away at ducquiao's check. what a fake christian,illiterate,one dimensional,cheating steroid taking chump.

fake as the bogus scoring
btw, try speaking a different language, you'd sound illiterate yourself

I'ts really pathetic to see these soft-boiled eggs believing everything that Mayweather says. His $40 mill offer was probably as real as his $32 mill "guarantee".... Talking figures, as all who have intelligently attended school know, 43 X 0 is still Zero.........

I've just read above, that Mayweather's entreaty to leave gaol and suffer his cruel sentence in his 14,000 sq. ft. mansion has been denied. (didn't see it in the news) That's too bad, I actually thought he might have made it, since the judge was soft enought to give him 90 days instead of 2 years. . Maybe he should have appeared himself and cried Mayweather tears, the judge might have given in and patted him on his shiny topper with a "there there little lad, it'll be alllll right".......

Don't forget that Hatton was undefeated and the man back then.

Plus people gave him a good shot to beat mayweather because of his pressure style.

The only thing those numbers show is how much more popular Hatton was in the UK than Floyd was in the US.

boxing in general is far more popular in the UK than in the US. Hell, 50k people were coming to see Amir Khan's 12th fight. The passion over there is amazing.

Also worth noting the price is ppv's is much cheaper in UK.

well when you take into account how much Manny spends on his camp, his entourage, his trainers and his transport and travel to and from the fight...he is actually losing money based on his pure drawing power.

Thank god Rigendioux was on that card.

fractions. they don't lie.

[Rip Chudd]

Oh man comps were given out!? Not to a Pacquiao fight, that has to be a lie!? I just bring this up cause I see Pac stans saying it all the time about Mayweather fights as if it doesn't happen in all big fights. Haha
