Yeah im angry at something i cant control. Show me in any post history where i show i care about PPV buys. I love the sport not one fighter like you boys

How many PPVs has Canelo done again... 0? He's a pretty much the PPV cash cow. He got as many people to watch free as Mayweather got people to pay 70$....in a unification match...

man, i love this **** , lol, you guys are ****in angry , lol, you guys are gonna have a nervous breakdown it seems, this is good for boxing, lol, floyd fans are dilusional but its fun to see floyd fail for floyd fans reaction alone

Actually Arum hasn't officially release numbers in pacs last 5? Fights....so your point is?

But of course the above is all Arum spin (as reported by ESPN) and we should accept that Floyd-Guerrero 'will do over 1 million'. Makes sense

[waxfondler]

so they are pulling an arum/pac huh??? squeezing out every ounce to get their "official" numbers.

i hope it doesnt take months to release like arum.

i remember the pac/cotto broadcast, they flaunted 1.25 million buys DURING the fight. LOL. so they definitely know whats up regarding PPV...

floyd sold less than a million and you shouldnt be angry about it, its a fact, lol

Lolol.. Espinoza is delusional if he really believes this PPV was a success.. I don't care what false numbers Showtime puts out (If they even decide to release them), I don't believe this PPV did a million buys. Add to that there was boo'ing and loud chants of boring throughout the course of the fight. Showtime/GBP can spin this 6 ways to Sunday, but the bottom line is this PPV underachieved and unless Floyd fights Canelo next the numbers will only get worse.

good post, floyd failed

Arum isn't an HBO worker he is a promoter lol

Actually I'm not angry because I don't care what the PPV does personally, I bought and enjoyed it. I do find it annoying how much hyper Canelo gets for doing almost nothing his entire career. The only time PPV are relevant is when it comes to setting up a fight between two A side fighters (may-pac) luckily Canelo is B side so it shouldn't be an issue. You seem to call 1+mil a failure yet hype canelo who got the same number to watch him for free. Its hypocrisy at it's finest.

Stephen Espinoza was an attorney for Golden Boy for years so obviously it's tough to listen to anything this guy says without assuming there is some spin going on. It would be like if Todd DuBoef got the head sports job at HBO.

Pretty much. They're hardly going to say it was disappointing, are they? It probably did ok but they were hoping for much better is probably closer to the truth.

Arum isn't an HBO worker he is a promoter lol

From the third paragraph of the article:

"The final numbers were not in yet, but HBO did not dispute Arum's figure".

So let's review-

Arum says Pacquiao-Opponent did X amount of buys. HBO agrees. Arum is a liar.

Schaefer angrily curses about Floyd-Guerrero doing 'over' X amount of buys. Showtime agrees about a non number. They are telling the truth.

OK, got it. Pretty simple formula
