Pac-Bradley does 625K buys?

TR should reconsider their stance about undercards.

Great numbers for Pac.

[The Gambler1981]

Perfect moment for the Garcia v Gamboa fight. Put that on undercard it would have done better. i know the suing which i still dont understand whats happening but it was going for minute before we heard of lawsuit.

Nonito would draw a few more.

Put Rigo even as 3rd or 4th fight would increase numbers.

YEs GBP undercards arent mind blowing but they are decent and have name value and these days fans want more for their buck and names draw.

I was thinking Garcia but he didn't seem to be on the best of terms with Top Rank. Really he was the best option to help get more Mexican fans on board, that could have helped.

Nonito wouldn't really bring much extra IMO, he is a quality fighter but he is drawing on the same audience essentially as Manny.

Rigo, c'mon man excellent fighter but he ain't adding but maybe 100-250 buys unless they put him in a sick fight and that fight isn't in his class atm.

The question would be is it cost effective, plus Arum doesn't have a deep stable so is it better to focus on one event or spread them out for his HBO dates.

That 40 Million Dollar offer is starting to look a whole lot better these days. Pac would be lucky to get that amount moving forward.


All of that said, this is great for boxing because this forces Arum to change his ways and approach to Golden Boy, Showtime, his Undercards, and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Now, we need Khan to lose or not look good May 3rd so he's not an option for Floyd in September, and THEN we might finally all get what we want.

Floyd vs. Manny will still do 2 million plus buys and make Floyd 75 million and Pac 30-50 million.

I think that is actually pretty good considering there was very little hype to the fight. Pac fights just haven't had that "big fight" feel leading up to Bradley and Rios.

[The Gambler1981]

Then I guess we'll have to see till next time to see if pac mania is dead.... but I have ea feeling that if Pac fights Provo and the numbers are bad, it'll be because Provo isn't a big name. Pac is still a big draw among others but he's sliding in and out of the ring.

I tend to agree, Manny-Ruslan would be an interesting case it would be a solid action fight likely at least people would say that going in

[bojangles1987]

That's at the higher end of what I expected, which was between 500k-700k.

Arum was on crack to think it would get a million.

[RichCCFC]

Good numbers, Floyd Maidana will be around 800k imo

[AgainstTheRopes]

Solid numbers for a declining fighter against a fighter with no fanbase.

[Holywarrior]

People are just getting tired of PPV. Who wants to pay for a fight that already had a clear winner once before?
