What PPV sales really means

[Kingjames6Flee]

The hypocritical PAC fans are funny as ****. One minute ppv is a huge thing the next it means jack ****.

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.

PAC-BOY is totally right. This is the same when it comes to album sales and movie sales.

How many best-selling records win best album of the year?
How many biggest revenue movies with Picture of the year?

And this is true in boxing. Boxing is a INTERNATIONAL sport and the U.S. PPV market is just one part of it. Everyone knows that more people watched Pacquiao-Rios than both of Floyd's boring PPV's this year combined.

Spoken like a true Pacquiao fan...after one of his PPVs bomb. If I were to do an archive search, I would find at least 100 posts where you criticized the PPV numbers for Mayweather/Guerrerro as if they meant something and talked about how Pac's PPV numbers were so better than Floyds (when Pac was actually selling on PPV) and how that made Pacquaio the king of boxing.

it has value when trying to negotiate paychecks but has no value when measuring complete greatness.

Well, if Showtime makes less than they spend on Mayweather fights, ie, $40 million guarantee, expensive undercards, expensive, crappy Access production, statewide tours, expensive weigh in show, expensive everything, then PPV numbers are really meaningless. Just Mayweather's guarantee alone would impoverish Showtime.

Showtime does not pay Mayweather's guarantee. GBP is solely responsible for paying Mayweather's guarantee. His contract with Showtime is separate and I would be everything I own that it is not the ridiculous six-fight $250 million contract as the know-nothing bloggers claim. His contract with Showtime is likely closer to $10 million per fight and Showtime hasn't lost a dime on any Mayweather fight.

floyd has second highest ppv of all time, pac has his worst ppv of all time.

Pac boy: Ppvs mean nothing

The TS is another one of the manny fans on this board that decided PPV sales meant nothing once it was clear Manny was #3.

Literally nobody outside of this forum and a couple professional reporters on twitter talks about PPV numbers.

So yes it matters to some people but all of them (sans the fighters themselves) are posting in this thread.

I've always said they don't mean anything but I'm not a Pac fan who likes to flip-flop what if it's their agendA

The TS just keeps it real knowing that the ignorant butt ***ung FLoyd fans that only idolize Floyd for his money rather than his boring Lame boxing potential! Also it takes a pretty dumb ***er not to understand this. but then again it its The Big Dumb that has issues with common sense, so this is normal
