Comments Thread For: HBO Blames Pacquiao-Rios PPV Buys on Location

All the US PPV buys were just icing on the cake. The main source of income for that fight was in Macau and Macau makes Vegas look like a mom and pop store

I'm actually surprised the Bradley rematch was back in the US cuz of the ridiculous taxes Pac has to pay

Did pretty well for a PPV with two guys coming off Ls.

Or maybe people arent as interested in Manny as the fanboys on this site dream. Plain and simple he's just not as "Must See" as people on this site claim

it's b/c everyone knew this was a BullS**it fight!

So they put together a mismatch/tuneup/showcase fight with two fighters coming off losses along with a **** undercard and blame it on the location?

I can't afford PPV, not 70 dollars. The numbers can stay low, maybe they'll charge less next time. A quick nickle is better than a slow dime.

I was itching to buy the Pac-Bradley fight at the last moment but my common sense prevailed. The quality of undercards mattered, it ******.

I don't think the location had any thing to do with the PPV sells not doing to good. I think it was the weak undercard. A real boxing fan to pay 70 bucks to watch a one sided beat down in Pac's favor in a weak main event is the real reason that the PPV flopped.
