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

[J Dubb II 330]

The Celtics/ Heat did not affect these numbers, Arum made a good move not having the fight start till after. A lot of people like me ordered the fight and flipped back and forth.

Now if Arum would not had made that decision you might had seen a drop in numbers.

That is a very good number, when we consider pac did not have to stack his undercards etc...


This means that since december 07, floyd has sold roughly 6.2 million ppvs

Pac, since may 09, has sold has sold roughly 7.7 million ppvs



On a per day or per year basis, pac has actually outsold floyd by a huge margin. I'll leave you to do the exact calculations, but pac sold 1.5 million more ppvs in 17 fewer months.

In twice as many fights over that period, selling less than twice as much is not really a good look~

Comparing the two anyways

& exactly how many more times did Pac fight in that period of time then May did?

Exactly twice as much 10 to 5

I love how so many think Rafael is now the spokeperson for HBO PPV. When HBO say it is 950K i will say its a good number till then its all heresay

Well he is the media front for HBO and pretty much the most reliable source for anything in the whole industry. Could be worse.

Don't forget Pac's PPV was $15

I advocated for manny to turn down $40 mil no ppv because i thoght it was a ****ty deal. But then the Forbes numbers came out (i have them in my sig). IMO, that changed things somewhat. $40 mil is far more than the $28.5 mil avg manny makes per fight (which includes ppv). So relative to the fight, its a small piece but relative to manny's income, its significant.

IMO Manny deserves anywhere from 30-35%. Lets hope floyd offers this and lets hope manny accepts. I too want to see the fight.

So TODAY you are basing Manny's percentage on Forbes? Funny how Forbes numbers all of a sudden matters to Floyd fans. Were you all saying that Manny deserved more than Floyd BEFORE the latest numbers from Forbes as I believe Manny had better numbers the previous years?

Secondly, the amount Floyd expects to make fighting Manny compared to someone else is a lot more. Why? BECAUSE Floyd IS FIGHTING MANNY .... THAT'S WHY!!!! ..... but you guys just can't seem to grasps that, can you?

Third point, if Floyd wants Manny to take the "TEST" and that it has been such a big deal ..... then Manny accepting that should count for something that should counter Floyd wanting ALL PPV money, in some shape or form. In other words, when you do your calculating on percentages, reduce some percentage points because of this "TEST" ....

.... and my feeling is, when Floyd presented Manny with "I WANT ALL PPV MONEY", Manny probably countered and said "You want me to accept roadblock #2 then roadblock #1 is OFF the table" and that is why Floyd is saying that "Manny doesn't want to take the test"
