What PPV sales really means

[FeFist]

if this site had a half way decent search function itd be pretty easy to find you slobbering saying manny is the ppv king and does better #s than floyd.. but you had a change of heart after the canelo and rios fight.. very transparent

It's funny, I looked back on the comments after Pacquiao v Marquez III.

THE PPV KING! Aside from Oscar De La Hoya, Manny has generated more PPV revenue than ANY OTHER NON HW fighter. . LOL Pretty Boy 32 tried saying how Floyd had generated so much more PPV revenue and he was proven wrong BY SIR CHUPS. . Hahaha he was so confident and sure. . . then BOOM! WRONG! This even FURTHER separates pac from floyd. . . PACSMASH. . . SMASH! Pac smash. . . smash puzzy, white rice, puny, mortal humans who make feeble boxers with puny human flyswats for punches, and PPV REVENUE!!! PACSMASH. . . SMASH!

It's pretty obvious in their respective last fights, Manny blew Floyd out of the water with the live gate and also the PPV #s.

No wonder Floyd wants to fight Pac now, on top of Pac's not so great performance against JMM, Floyd is losing his PPV king status.

Pac without a doubt is the PPV king.

Money Pacquiao does it again

On top of the buy rate, he also had the 9th biggest gate in Nevada History and the fight was the most watched in Mexico's history (more than 1/3 of the country tuned in, that's the same ratio as the superbowl in the U.S.). The fight was a MONSTER financial success, no matter what angle you look at it from.

I predicted it would do 1.3-1.5 mil buys, and as always, ThePrince was right. Also predicted there would be a lot of butthurt, and as you can see from some in this thread...

100 million points to anyone with photoshop skills who can put Manny's head on Simba and add the title 'The PPV King' on this pic:

Pacquiao did 2.7 million buys this year, had the 9th and 11th biggest gates in Nevada's history, the most watched boxing match in Mexico's history, was all over the place in HP ads, was the most googled athlete in the world, the 3rd most searched on yahoo (behind only Danica Patrick and Tiger Woods), racked up several multi-million dollar endorsements, was on CBS primetime, was on Piers Morgan on CNN.

How exactly is Floyd the biggest draw in boxing? Because he was the B-side on a DLH PPV back in 2007?

So many butthurt *****s in here.

Sorry *****s pac is the ppv king, lb4lb king, and fighter of the decade while floyd is well known as the king of the cowards.

When butthurts are desperate they would even cling on to en****** that called their boy "a coward!"

Floyd used to be PPV King until the real PPV King surfaced. PPVs aside, history will look back and identify Pacquiao as the guy who single-handedly carried boxing out of the grave.

Floyd was the ppv king, "was".. All good thing must come to an end while the next resurface and take over. Why is it so hard for u guys to let things go? 20yrs from now *****s will still be saying Floyd is the ppv king lol..

Nice the real ppv king! Pac is clearly showing who is the one who commands the ship.

It's about to be 2015 and unless floyd fights manny or cotto... his sales are going to drop... It also seems like Pac might get better sales in 2015... He gots more options... Garcia, Maidana, Canelo...

Two of those fighters are with Haymon. And Canelo won't fight Manny at a catch weight

Exactly. But people remember and reflect back on and are intrigued by is who he fought , how he fought wins and losses...and things like him fighting 5 times in one month in 4 different countries. The money he made means nothing.

Great post!

Green K!

Nothing. Who really cares? It doesn't define greatness. Ive never seen in the Boxing HOF where one was represented by greatness due to the amount of PPV numbers someone has sold.
Not once did i look up at a picture and go ..."man, i wonder how much money he made". Truth is. I dont care. What i do care about is the fights he fought, how he fought and who he fought. There are so much emphasis put on numbers by certain fighter and fans. In years to come....nobody will even care or think about it. A real fighter will need more than numbers to cement a legacy in the minds and hearts of boxing fans for years to come.

pacboy are you 100% sure you have never talked **** about mayweathers pvp numbers flopping or not? I mean if i can dig up just one post this whole thread goes to **** you do know that right?

As I stated, the only people who say that PPV numbers don't matter are Pac worshippers and the only they say that is when Pac has a PPV bomb!!!!!1 They meant a hell of a lot to you when you were criticizing Mayweather's numbers and (falsely) claiming that Showtime was losing money on him. Now they mean nothing.

Losing meant nothing when Pac lost to Bradley. Getting KTFO meant nothing when Pac got KTFO by Marquez. The opponent meant nothing when Pac signed to fight Algieri. Now, PPVs mean nothing when Pac bombs on PPV.

Just who the hell do you Pac worshippers think you are kidding? With ****** posts like this, you are admitting in your own subtle way that Mayweather is superior to Pacquaio in every possible category!

Still the possibilities are there... Arum won't work with haymon and vice versa supposedly... but both will work with Oscar... And Canelos team say they want the fight... Regardless, it looks like the tides might be changing...
