Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Rios: Taking a Look at The PPV Numbers

[iloveboxing2]

..at this point, Floyd/Pac will generate more PPV and break the PPV record if the fight happens and Jr is the only man that can make it happen or Showtime but when it comes to money, I doubt Pac gets more than 30 Mil. Pac should just let Floyd dictate the negotiations since the man really earned it. Pac can just make up for the losses if upsets Floyd in case they fight. TR and Pac blew their chances and they pretty much lost all their bargaining chips but for me, a chance to beat Floyd is good enough. Floyd should really call out Pac right now because he can make a lot of money from this fight.

Acceptable but it has a grim outlook for a fight (May/Pac) that was already grim to begin with. May's last fight was 2.2 or more. Pac is 500k or less.... that's a 75/25 difference. Granted it won't be that drastic but you're looking at 60/40 minimum....and it to be fully promoted by TMT/GBP. I still was interested in the fight and this farce of a PPV/undercard really grounds you in reality...

Wait till they release the numbers on how many people actually saw the fight. It'll go down as the most watched boxing event in history.

The U.S. PPV was just icing on the cake. Most of the money came from overseas advertisers and TV deals

True stuff.

No surprise since just about every clear thinking Boxing fan knew what the outcome of this fight was when it was first announced. Why pay when you already know the result?

[g-wane]

True stuff.

Look man the Pac/ Rios plan has crashed and burned to ashes .. go home LOL

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

We all know that taxes are everywhere but almost half of the US's rate; I always thought tax free was just an expression. Unless there really is a place where taxes aren't paid. Would be new to me.

I think in international airports there are duty free stores which are essentially tax free.


Hehe duty.

Most Middle eastern countries are tax free; but as a US citizen if I make more than 92k it is taxable in the US; so Arum & Rios will still be taxed because they made over 92k for there fight in China. IDK how how the Phillipines works with that.

Number crunch all you want haters he aint doin ppv numbers no more actually in a while so when it comes to floyd and money shut up!!!!!!
Now yall see the numbers even floyd vs gurrerro did better!!!!!
TMT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hougigo]

If those numbers are true, they're doo doo.
If he does the same number in the States, you betcha Arum will cash Pac out against a rising star or Mayweather.... probably the latter before the former

Pac fans are going to stay away from this thread like the plague. It's funny how Mayweather Guerrero actually sold more than Bradley-Marquez and Pacquiao-Rios combined!

I think the Mayweather Pacquiao is going to happen now. Bob Arum realizes that Pacquiao's star is fading and that in order to make money Manny is going to have to fight someone with a name. Also Showtime may pressure Floyd into fighting Manny because there are not enough opponents out there for Mayweather to fight who can sell over a million buys and he's getting a guaranteed 32 mil for each fight.
