Dan Rafael: Accurate sources tell me Pacquiao/Bradley did 950,000 buys

I'm surprised it did this well (I expected 700K-800K) considering its with an unknown opponent. Fight was barely promoted. Which was strange to me when I think about relatively popular Marquez in the trilogy, we saw Marquez/Pac in Manila and in Mexico singing together; saw Pac in Washington; visited and interviewed by Pierce Morgan on CNN, etc. It almost seemed like Arum just let Pac's popularity sell this Bradley fight.Comment

24/7 on HBO, replayed on CNN. Advertising during NBA playoffs. I wouldn't say that was barely promoted.I'm surprised it did this well (I expected 700K-800K) considering its with an unknown opponent.

I personally figured it would bomb due to all the events that day had. HEAT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, soccer events, or whatever the hell else was happening.
To consider that as bad, then that's cool. 950,000 all on his own not with a dance partner that could bring in a good thousand plus or utilizing another nationalities independence day + numerous high profile future stars.
**** it though. NO TO PAC / FLOYDComment
