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

[IFightDirty]

IMO Pacquaio's not as big of a draw because he was put to sleep. You can blame these numbers on Bradley, but the fact is the first Bradley fight sold 890K, since then Bradley engaged in the FOTY and a PPV win over Marquez (Pacquiao's conqueror). Why does this fight do over 100K less than the first one? It has to be Marquez's destruction of Pacquaio.

I agree. Pacquiao definitely lost his luster after back to back loses to Bradley and Marquez. The loss to Bradley wasn't bad because everyone but the judges saw the fight for Pacquiao. However the KO loss to Marquez really took some steam off the gravy train. I think Pacquiao is starting to get a bit of his shine back with each more victory. Another good victory or two and I think he can get back to 1mill+ ppv buys but he needs good victories over good opposition. No more Marquez, Bradley, Rios, Alvarado type fights. Canelo, Martinez type of fights is what he needs.

I thought those #s were good, PAC clearly # 2 in the sport even though it did less then the first fight. PAC probably not seeing much of that remaining 14 mil though.

If PAC stays with TR the only in house fight that would crack 500k is Marquez 5. If Arum thinks Broner Is so pathetic he should somehow make that fight it'd easily do over a million.

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

No **** you think it was a huge success, get pacs and arums **** out of ur mouth

[Money_May]

Arum says 750-800, means it done 550-600.

[I Love Jesus!]

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

Amen that was the worst undercard ever

[PACnPBFsuck]

"While Arum was quick to point out that the fight was still profitable for everyone involved, one has to wonder if the lower than expected numbers will impact the remainder of Pacquiao's $20 million guarantee, which he has yet to receive(Pacquiao collected a $6 million check on fight night and the remainder of the guarantee is supposed to be paid out in the weeks following the fight)."

SMFH!!!!!!!

Damn thief still robbing Pac!!

Sadly this will be skipped by most on this site, especially the Arum defenders.

Bob Arum is always taking back handed shots at Timothy Bradley.

I actually think he took shots at the Black community for not supporting one of their own..While the Latin community does..That's what I got from it anyway..

[7_rocket]

I agree. Also I don't think arum has built up/ marketed Bradley enough.0

I'm not sure he can or will. Bradley needs some charisma imo. I don't see him being a top marketing fighter

Preach, Arum should know this but alas I think his age has finally caught up to him.

[Ko King 212]

he is lying... I bet that fight did 650. Why would he be disappointed in 800 when it was more than the Rios fight. Bob is full of ****.
