Early Pacquiao-Rios PPV numbers...

[Heru]

Boxingscene hosted an article where Arum says they need 650-700K to break even...

Regardless of its' veracity, if the 500K projection proves true, they fell well under their BEP, putting them in a position where something has to give. Whether that's negotiating a lower guarantee for Pacquiao ($30+M) or trying to negotiate a fight against a more lucrative opponent that isn't in their stable (if Marquez continues to reject a 5th fight).

I had given up on the Mayweather-Pacquiao, but this might be the best time for "genuine negotiations" to take place, instead of the artificial ones from 09-10.

Wow that's lower than expected. Where did you get this info?

He pulled it out of his arse.

Getting more then 500k for the worst PPV in years has to be considered a great success.

Def knew it would do 500,000. Thought people were crazy saying 700,000-800,000...
-there was no hype for the fight
-wasnt in America
-Pacs been losing, Rios as well
-Pac didnt have any commercials or jimmy kimmel interviews as usual
-even filipinos i know who always watch pac didnt even know he was fiting, and not much filipino americans posting about thr fight.

Pacquiao def needs to build back his hype with a big name next fight..if may doesnt want it, hes gotta go for bradleyrematch

The info is legit bro, can't question the veracity of the TS imo.

[daggum]

my sources say it did 2 million in the u.s. and 60 million in china

[El Angel]

Aren't you the same guy who's "source" was said Cotto-Canelo was going to be confirmed yesterday? STFU

[Deeznuts]

Lol at the black panthers coming in full force on every Pac thread to say something negative. Don't worry you can ride the TMT wave in May
