Arums says Pacquiao vs. Bradley II PPV numbers "A disappointment"

[Vasyl’s dad]

When will that "buisnessman" finally learn that you need a good undercard to sell the fight, not only the main event itself.

When Erik Morales and Manny Pacquiao fought the first time, I didn't buy the fight to see Hussein Hussein vs Jorge Arce, and I sure as heck didn't buy it to see Martin Castillo vs Eric Morel.

I paid to see Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao. The undercard, means schit to the vast majority of buyers. If it happens to have some good fights, its just an added bonus.

"Sure, it's a disappointment," stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who recently revelaed the number of pay-per-view buys for last months rematch between previoiusly undefeated former champion Timothy Bradley and multi-division world champion Manny Pacquioa.

Making PAC fight on cinco de Mayo weekend would guarantee a Million buys every time but then again, you, Mr.Arum let Mayweather and GBP took that date over...good job.

So where was the Hispanics in the Rios fight Bob? Quick to blame Bradley.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

That means the fight really did about 475,000

I wouldn't consider 700-800k a disappointment, personally.

Where's all the Pacquiao fans at so they can analyze how much money HBO lost like they do for Floyd's fights, tho?

I think anything over 500k is good.

Completely agree.

I think anything over 500k is good.

Not when your making 20m guarantees

To be fair, the only "black" boxer who is a "PPV star" is Floyd. Ironically, the next best draw is Bradley, there are no other "black" boxers headlining PPV's.
