HBO says Rios-Pacquioa does 475,000 ppv buys

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, ESPN has some pretty decent fights.

Manny just doesn't have that shine anymore. But IMO Floyd/Manny still beats the PPV record though.

Outside the US, bound to fail.

Anything above 350k was a success. Pretty good.

AND THE WINNER FOR THE #1 PAC-TARD AWARD

Floyd is somewhere laughing

If Floyd fights Khan outside the US, you will see what a flop 350k is.

Honestly, ESPN has some pretty decent fights.

The ESPN card during the summer in the Chicago White Sox Stadium was one of the best, most exciting cards of the year.

That Marquez KO killed Pac's auro of greatness...
when i had filipinos who didnt even know he was fighting nov 23rd just days before the fight, i knew it wouldnt do well on ppv. for gods sake it was like the KO sent him all the way to China. its like americans only remember pac now for being ktfo now on their soil. only way he redeems himself is if he knocks out mayweather and thats it...that ko def ruined alot of his marketabilty/legacy/etc.

What happened to all those $5 tablet PPV orders in China? Looks like the Chinese spent those $5 for a sniff of a strangers panties from a vending machine.

I dont see how having a fight outside the U.S has any impact on the ppv buys here in the states. Its still on HBO at the same time as every other HBO PPV. What would make someone not buy a fight on ppv just because its not being held in Vegas?

Like most I didn't expect this ppv to hit it off but 475,000 is very low, and pretty alarming. Never would of expected this number.
