    Honestly,, 800k is huge numbers...

    The average PPv does 250-350k,,, Roy jones never surpassed 500k in his PPv fights...

      Well it's somewhat true. Tim never had that much of the black community because of his personality. He's no where near marketable as someone say Fraud Jr. is, despite his lack of punching power.
      I think the buys aren't bad considering it was a rematch of a very dull first fight and I was wondering how the hell they would market this rematch. All the talk that Pacquiao was going to be more aggressive and go for the knockout might of been the only reason people paid to see this rematch because honestly, beforehand, I was not even looking to buy it...

        The important thing is that everyone involved made money

        It was a great fight with two top P4P guys swinging for the fences

        800k vs Bradley is a huge success.

        I think Bradley vs JMM did like 350k buys

          More PPV discussion, eh?

          Anyways, sorry the "Black community" let you down, Bob. Ridiculous the way this cretan tries to imply we're all a bunch of insular racists who only follow boxers the same race as we are. Can only imagine what this bigot says behind closed doors.

            It was an unnecessary rematch. Most people knew Manny would win. Can't really knock the numbers considering that.

              He's cut from the same cloth as Donald Sterling. "I like the blacks making me a millionaire by sacrificing their bodies but I don't want to associate with them"

                Wow imagine that. 800k with no undercard. Imagine they put Provo vs Rios on the undercard? That's 900k- 1 milly right there

                  No question. I guess Arum thinks the "Black community" made Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and Pele into the most popular athletes of the 20th Century.

                    lol. With that said, in a non racist manner or anything like that, why are you not into Tim Bradley? I'd like to know from a "black communities" perspective just to get some insight... Where does Tim Bradley fail to make the connection that Arum thought he had?
