Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley II PPV Numbers Coming Next Week

[4Corners]

Anyways, I thought the 40 million flat fee offer was ****** on Floyd's part....but it's looking better and better Manny's last 4 fights.

He's done 900K the first time with Bradley, did about 1.2M (Bob lied and said 1.4M with no revenue #'s being mentioned) and was KO'd by Marquez. He did like 475K or whatever against Rios, and now estimated around 700K with Bradley the 2nd time.

Since then, Floyd has done 1.5M with Cotto, 800K-1.0M with Guerrero depending on the cource, and 2.2M with Canelo. And is making 40 million per fight before PPV revenue is included.

Hopefully Floyd-Maidana does lukewarm buys like Guerrero did, because with the lack of options for a Mid September fight, it may force Floyd-Pac.

If Marquez beats Alvarado, and stands firm on not fighting him again, who knows???

I highly doubt HBO will be happy to put on Pac-Provonikov, Pac-Bradley III, Pac-Alvarado, and do like 500-700K buys again for the supposed second biggest draw in the sport.

At the same time, if Floyd-Maidana does around 800-900K like Guerrero probably did, perhaps they look to work with Top Rank and/or HBO to make it happen.

Floyd won't have many options for September. Even if Khan wins, and he still wouldn't deserve it, I don't see him fighting in Mid September. His Ramadan doesn't end until the very end of July, which gives him a little over a month and a half to train for the biggest fight of his life??? HIGHLY DOUBTFUL. Garcia is no longer a big and very credible fight after the Herrera debacle. He needs another strong win or two before that talk can happen again. Collazo.....yeah that's not happening. Cotto is going to lose, and even if he wins, that's 3 months between two huge fights for him....doubtful and Floyd already beat him handily.

Perhaps Shawn Porter could happen if he can get around his mandatory defense for a bit longer, but that's another fight that may not break 1 million buys.

Well, the were going into the second fight with better circumstances.

Bradley better known and more accomplished
No NBA game 7
Undercard better than the last one

Uncle Bob better do something here.

HBO said they want to put better PPV undercards they need to put more pressure on the Arum or Todd DuBoef. I didn't buy the card last weekend. I did watch it at my sister in laws house and we got there a little bit before the main event. My wife was rushing, getting the kids, and herself ready. I told here no rush the undercard sucks... real s**t. I like ordering the fights at my house. Where I can drink and puff on trees and not risk getting a DUI. My lady likes the sport as much as i do and she puffs and drinks too. So if it's not worth buying... we puff puff pass on the PPV event. So one of us can't drink when we go to someones else's house to watch a fight. We play paper, rocks, scissors, who ever wins two out of three gets to drink, Lol.

The only thing that "forces" Floyd-Pac is Manny removing his head from his ass and accepting he's the B-side/opponent here and isn't gonna call ANY shots. Which has always been the case.

Look at the crows eat up the speculation. LK

Manny's lone appeal has been that Arum has been able to convince the world that he could beat Floyd and that Floyd is scared of him. The amount of dumbasses believing that appears to be dwindling by the second.

Floyd's september fight will be against the winner of Khan vs Collazo

[The Gambler1981]

Hopefully they meet or exceed expectation for Manny and Tim

Only fangirls care about buyrates.
