Pac-Bradley does 625K buys?

Couple folks who should know whisper that the Pacquiao/Bradley rematch did approx 625,000 buys. Waiting for Top Rank delivery of the numbah

Woods being a big Pac guy should lend some credence to the number.

I don't think JMM vs PAC V will exceed 1million buys.

Ehhh, decent chance. Marquez could pique some interest coming off that 6th round KO.... but who knows

[CLUE]

Hopefully it did more.

Not good for boxing, need more casuals to get in on it.
This could be a good thing though, maybe just maybe we can get some TR + GBP fights.

It's not that Pac isn't a draw anymore, because he still is, but the fact that people have been getting spoiled with good undercards from other promoter fights.

Arum needs to learn to adapt because no one is willing to pay $70+ dollars for just the main event anymore.

I totally agree with this post.

The first fight wasn't good though, it is always tough to get people to really buy into a rematch of a fight that wasn't really that good in the first place, controversy or not.

This is the reason why i didn't buy this card.

I think the buys were low because the perception of the Bradly loss wouldn't have changed with a rematch. Everybody knew Pac had won already. What's needed to restore Pac's luster is a KO win over Marquez and nothing else. Pac should allow Marquez get the lion's share of the purse split just to get that fight.

Yes, I agree this needs to happen later in the year.

From Kevin Iole, who is usually reliable with PPV numbers.

So maybe it sold 875k then.

Well that's better. Woods needs a better source

Or who knows maybe it did do 625k.

So what we have is between 625-825 max with it possibly being under 700k..... I say we wait

I'am with you man.

Low numbers, but only in USA . On espn latinoamerica, they say that the fight had 26 million of people viewers in México, over the Canelo-Angulo (20 million ) and Chavez-Vera II (15 million).

A lot of people saw the fight, Also, here in Chile, the return of pacman was very comented in general, and here the sport of boxing is very irrelevant. Pacquiao is still the face of boxing, but he need more things to surpass the million ppvs in USA (better undercards, or popular contenders)


PD: how many millions of people, corresponds 1 millon ppv buys in USA ?
I know, depends of a lot of factors, but anyone knows a general aproximation in numbers?.
