Yeah he does.....the Tribe rides the midnight wind across desert sands to accompany the storm on fight night.

HD for both on my sister's big ass TV.

If he has another PPV I'm down.

If it's against a lesser opponent, which I doubt would happen, I'd be pissed, but Ride or Pie

[Kuyukut]

so, it made more than 100k than floyd - guerrero.

not bad at all...

For anyone who even gives a ****:

No one outside of Arum was expecting 1 mil buys, and even he was most likely just putting the promoter's spin on it. In the end, these fights did about 1.7 mil buys when there should've been only one match. Everyone involved doubled their money on some bull****.

I am sure this number came directly from Bob Arum or this writer pulled it out of his a.ss. No numbers have been released nor will they ever be released by HBO.

However, everyone has a right to guess on the numbers and my guess is 650,000 at most.

Well, I didn't make any of the money so I don't care unless they want to buy all my dinners in Maui next week, doesn't do anything for me.

Still not bad though.

If these numbers is true, so should still Pac get no ppv cut if the Floyd fight happens? Only the Floydiots will agree to that.

[Hougigo]

I guess we just hold him at a higher standard... nobody behind him is anywhere near him.

Those numbers in that range is still pretty good.

I'm meh with it because the lead up to the rematch was bigger than the first and Bradley beat the guy who KTFO Pac

[_original_]

Very good numbers if true.

Boxing writers have their sources and Mannix's source says it did 775-800K buys. According to Kevin Iole's source, it did 825,000 buys.
