Any word on the ppv numbers for Pac-Rios yet?

[ShoulderRoll]

Fat Dan said they didn't do any work on it last week because of the thanks giving holiday.

Makes sense.

Glad someone else asked and made another thread about it.

Didn't realize there was another thread already. It's hard to spot duplicate topics when you have to go several pages deep to get up to speed on all the posts for just one day.

Obviously, Arum didn't rely on PPV sales to get paid for the fight. The Macau investors paid for the whole event. It's a gamble on the investors' part. If they did, they probably only need 100K to break even. Therein lies the difference between these promoters and networks. Showtime had to come up with 1M PPV to break even. That's why the PPV number is meaningless if the bottom line is a negative. Look at the Guerrero debacle.

The PPV benchmark is not just about revenue; it's equally, or even more so about how many botherered about the fight sufficiently to want to pay for - and watch it anyways.
