Is Pacquiao still a PPV fighter?

800,000 PPV buys is better than anyone bar Floyd, don't know how this is a real question?

I think only Floyd, Manny and Haye in the UK have reached close to a million PPVs in the last few years in boxing.

Haye reached close to a million buys here in the UK? I doubt that very much, if he id then those are huge numbers, considering Sky has an install base of 10 mill, according to their own official stats, I think it might be lower in reality but let's take it at face value, that's 10% of all subscribers (20% of all Sky+ subs) that bought the Haye PPV...incredible.

pacquiao literally sold the Bradley PPV on his own without any recognisable chief support, Mayweather has had the luxury of Garcia, Matthysse, Khan and Broner over at show time, which is a great strategy, hand it to GBP for putting on good shows but with TR the yare literally just selling Pacquiao on his own and he still does almost a million. That's impressive. And he is arguably the biggest name in the sport.

Imagine if TR put Chavez Jr, Provodnikov and Rios on the undercard. Or Ward, Kovalev. That would sell over a million easy considering for the Pacman is doing on his own.

I would love to see how a Pacquiao PPV sold with a stacked undercard. Not that I'm going to claim Mayweather's PPVs sell only because of undercards, but it certainly helps. Has Pacquiao ever had a PPV card to support him that even approached the cards Mayweather's had the past couple of years?

Is anybody still a PPV fighter? People don't want to pay 50-70 dollars per pay per view to hopefully land one worth the money 1-2 a year.

Except for me I'm a boxing junky. I'll pay for Mayweather-Guerrero 2 if it was announced tomorrow.

Obviously he is, how many other fighters can do 800,000 PPV's?

selling 700k ppv buys vs bradley if that is not a PPV fighter, aside from Floyd I do not know who is?

anyway I hope to see the all PPV fighters be eliminated and we get to see these fights on national TV, ok we see these free in the Philippines but only for big fights...

[JHAVIS]

He and Mayweather should be the only PPV fighters.

Is Pac still a PPV fighter? What a ridiculous question...

If Pac isn't a PPV fighter, who is besides Floyd?...

He's such a PPV fighter that he can rematch the same old fighters because people simply want to see him fight ( even if die hard boxing fans object, of course)

his power is one thing that you know for sure hasnt diminished, he is just fighting guys who are tougher to put away.

i think it depends on the match up (as it should with all fighters). the rios fight for example shouldnt have been ppv, the bradley rematch obviously should.

same thing applies to his future bouts. there arent too many good fights out there though, only TRP fighter off the top of my head that would be worthy of ppv is JMM 5. then again if thats not a ppv nothing is.

I think Pacquaio needs to lower his PPV to $39 he's not a $70 PPV guy anymore
