    The first thing they do is bring up Pacquiao and his PPV numbers, super deflection

    Honestly, Showtime was most likely embarrassed by the PPV buyrate of this one and will never release it. Fan Dan reported 870k, which is really low considering they needed 1.2m to break even.

        Why isnt Showtime releasing Mayweather-Guerrero ppv buys numbers?
        What does it matter. If Showtime said the final count was 1.2 million or 1.1 million or whatever, you and the other haters would claim they were lying. The head of Showtime said the number exceeded 1 million PPV buys. That is more information than either Showtime or HBO have given about Pacquaio's last five fights. Pacquaio's promoter, Bob Arum is the only one who has given any numbers on Pac's last five fights and people like you and Fat Dan Rafael accept it as gospel, even though Arum has been caught lying numerous times in the past about PPV numbers. Mayweather's promoter an the executive from Showtime says that the Mayweather/Guerrerro fight exceeded 1 million PPVs and clowns on this message board immediately call them liars.

        It doesn't matter if Showtime releases the official number, you and other haters will call it a lie while continuing to believe Lying Bob when he tells you that a Pac fight against a washed up Mosley that actually sold 600,000 or 700,000 PPVs at most sold 1.3 million; or the 18th rematch between Pac and Marquez that sold 700 or 800,000 PPVs at most sold 1.1 million.

          Fat Dan also said that Pacquaio/Bradley sold 900,000 PPVs and that Pac/Marquez IV sold 1.1 million. Do you know what his source was? It was Bob Arum, Pac's promoter. Yet, when a Showtime executive and Mayweather's promoter says his last fight sold over 1 million, Fat Dan calls it a lie based on anonymous sources.

          The sad thing is that there are thousands of people like you who are ****** and gullible enough to believed anything that Fat Dan and Bob Arum tells you, even with no proof to back it up.

            500,000 is still a lot. A lot, considering Guerrero is not a famous name in boxing.

              I agree. That is why Lying Bob Arum refused to allow HBO to tell us what the Pac/Bradley fight or the Pac/Marquez sold -- because revealing that Pac sold less than 1 million PPV's in his last two fights combined would embarrass both Arum and Pac's worshippers like you.

                It doesn't matter, if true it's Arum taking the hit repeatedly, like the bad businessman he is. Why do people get worked up about this one? Cause it's the network making the huge guarantee, not the promoter. So if you like watching boxing on Showtime, you might be concerned.

                  Bad news

                  I'm a mayweather fan and I knew this fight would do low numbers cause the fight wast promoted right I would ask people a week before the fight are you watching the mayweather fight they will say who he fighting or when he fights
                  And a week before his fight for the public to say who he's fighting or when that means bad promotion when he was facing cotto you say you watching the mayweather fight they will be like yeah may 5 right. They knew the the date time lol. So is not a suprise to me fight was promoted horriblely.
                  Probably did 990k/950k cause there not releases in it. But at the end that's good cause now Floyd can take fights we want to see to make them buy rates go up.


                  Feedback from the fight... Most common one the fight boring!!!

                    They did release the numbers. They said it will "exceed 1 million buys".
