    Are we arguing?

    I do think that there are some Pinoy-Cali-Americans that would have paid big bucks to have seen him fight here. Live. They aren't rare out here.

    I'm just saying. Anyways..

    Arum thinks he struck a gold mine. Could be true. Macau makes Vegas look like dogshit, from the promos I have seen.

          The potential is massive, but you gotta reel them in. There's a lot of other sports competing for a slice, but a lot of things are aligning nicely for boxing there. Arum is no fool, he'll tread lightly with Shiming, but if it catches on, there will be better pro talent to latch onto in China soon

            You were saying it was mathematically impossible to have lost that much, a real strong statement. Back it up
            As far as ppv's go Pac WAS #2. Not anymore.

            And stop lying about what I said about SHO losing 12 mil. You said it, and gave no proof at all. The Reed gave a perfect explanation as to why SHO did NOT lose 12 mil.

              Bob, we get it. You are a super wealthy guy that does not want to pay more taxes. How bout the common man that shells out 60 bucks for Pacquiaos PPV's.

                I wanted to see Manny fight live before he retires but I understand. He needs to make sure he's financially set in his few remaining fights. If Pac ever fights JMM again or Floyd, he may end up fighting in the US again though.

                  These are his last few fights, he needs to ensure he's financially set. This really isn't a big deal other than those who actually attended or planned to attend his fights in Vegas. For the average boxing fan, it's simply just another PPV purchase. As long as the event I'm watching is live (which it will be) there's no issue where it takes place.

                    Then who is #2 in the ppv....
                    Floyd is the clear cut #1 but who has replaced manny at #2.... Manny did 1.2+ with jmm4.... Serg vs chavez Jr didnt even do half that....j

                    Manny still #2 ppv draw till proven otherwise..

                      Who is? Other than Floyd and Pac, who else can carry a PPV by himself, at 500k+ buys?

                      Seems pretty definitive here.

                      So I'm asking you to give me the Cliffs Notes. Don't worry, I'm not scared of that math, don't have to dumb it down too much, just stop weaseling
