@KevinI @danrafaelespn Guys, not sure who ur sources are. But this is OUR biz. Too few #s available to make meaningful predictions. #relax


Stephen Espinoza @StephenEspinoza

"@danrafaelespn @kevinI A LOT of misinformation contained in this thread. Amazing how far people will go despite lacking facts."

"@KevinI @danrafaelespn So, Kevin, how much money are we going to lose? And what's your factual basis for saying that?"

[LeG00N]

it's called damage control.

Well there really hasn't been enough time since to total all the PPV's yet.

Let's get this straight, when Pac vs JMM 3 was reported at 1.2 million buys people called BS and demanded official Showtime numbers. But now Showtime are officially calling BS on these numbers and people are choosing to accept the unofficial ones?

Exactly.

If this was SteveKim giving those numbers out I would take it with a grain of salt, but Fat Dan and Kevin work for legit big companies and have released similar estimates before fights that were close to accurate.

Just like when they said Pacquiao vs Mosley did over 1 million buys, or when the Oscar vs. Flyd fight broke 2 million.

LOL at Fat Dans response to Espinoza and showtime

They coulda jacked up the PPV numbers had Floyd Sr and Ruben thrown down in a special parking lot fight co-feature.

manny and shanes numbers were never confirmed by cbs or showtime-only arum.

[Russian Crushin]

Note how they don't directly dispute the allegations.

Obviously I'll take it with a grain of salt. Never understood why it took so long to get the PPV numbers, do they count them by hand?

That JMM vs. Pac 3 was on HBO not showtime

But they've done this exact same thing after every major fight. First estimates always turn out to be worthless.
