HBO says Rios-Pacquioa does 475,000 ppv buys

If you want Floyd to fight at 160, why not against GGG then? Martinez is pushing 40, looked like crap in his last fight, and his body is breaking down.

ggg hasn't beaten anyone but bums.....

They said the same thing about rigo prior to him whoppin on donaire. Can't say u don't see the potential though.

if arum is admitting to 475k buys then it was probably more like 300k lol

[Cinci Champ]

The fact that this was a massive flop should be no surprise whatsoever. The entire card was one of the worst I've ever seen in any ppv or regular card period. I've seen fights on espn 2 that were better cards overall

honestly the showtime card this weekend is better then that card was

At least these were confirmed. Still waiting on Mayweather-Guerrero.

It did anywhere from 870k (as reported by Dan Rafael) to over 1 million as Stephen Espinoza claims.

oh i see the potential in ggg but what does floyd have to gain fighting ggg as oppose to martinez? martinez is the legitimate mw champ and if you want floyd to go to mw you have to make it worth his while. ggg has a poor resume period.

Makes you wonder why release the numbers when we all know they were poor. Hershman seems like a smart guy so i'm intrigued as to his strategy here.

Isn't he the same Hershman who ran Showtime until the Super Six?

[HanzGruber]

What a flop. I haven't seen any of the guys calling the Guerrero fight a flop in here

[The Big Dunn]

yes. that supersix was a great idea.
