I think from here on out we're going to witness the decline of both Pacquiao and Mayweathers PPV numbers. They can't stay high for ever.
I also believe that their high numbers from previous years were because people anticipated that the next fight they'd fight each other. Now that it appears that it truly isn't going to happen, interest has waned.
i'll wait for more official numbers rather than a tweet by some random..don't care if he's a pac fan..if he's not actually in the KNOW than it's just a rumor to me...
either way pac beat the #3 p4p fighter in the world....that matters more in the end than ppv numbers.....
You sure we're not calling Tim that before the rematch was signed.

So because Pacquaio lost Mayweather's numbers are going to go down?
How do you figure? You think that people bought the Canelo fight and made it the second most selling PPV ever because they thought Mayweather and Pacquaio were going to fight?
No, people bought that fight because they thought Canelo had a legitimate chance at beating Floyd. Remember it was almost an even split in terms of boxing pundits predicting who would win. A lot of people thought Canelo would be too big and active for Floyd which ultimately turned out to not be the case but that's besides the point.
The point is that as long as Mayweather is undefeated and has a legitimate threat in front of him he will continue to do huge numbers. His numbers will fluctuate as the caliber of his opponent will dictate how big the event can be but he will still top the ppv charts even with lesser quality opponents.
Remember, he didn't do MEGA #'s with Guerrero but his PPV buys for that fight were enough to make most PPVs after it seem very modest.
was a whack card, good fight, good win just wierd that people get on other boxers/promoters for stacking the card with good fights (giving the fans their moneys worth) thats the dumbest argument ive ever heard. for bob arum to say nobody cares about undercards is simply stupid.
Indeed. It's sad boxing has such a particular pathetic fan base.
'Boxing fans don't care about undercard fights' - Bob Arum
Pathetic that you actually have fans standing by Arum while at the same time asking to boycott or critizising another promotional company for actually investing in quality in their cards
On the good note, Bob's scam PPVs are flopping which is a good indicator that more and more boxing fans are not willing to bend over for Bob anymore.
