First of all I am a Pacman fan, loved all his fights up until the Margarito fight he was IMHO the true fighter of the decade and a joy to watch

But this version of Pacman is a lot less spectacular, age has creeped up and his power has diminished. Add to that that Top Rank simply has no match ups for him that would enthuse fans anymore. Marquez at 41 V? Bradley 3? Is anyone really waiting for that? Provodnikov who is a nobody will also not do more than 500k views.

Has anyone seen the Bradley numbers? I doubt they are over 600k.

So the question is why would any non die hard fan buy an 80 dollar fight, of an aged fighter with opposition that doesn't excite anyone on a card filled with bums and nobody's?

Hence my question is Pacman still a PPV fighter or can he only remain a PPV fighter if he moves to Golden Boy?

PS this is a thread about Pacman not about Mayweather so any comments including him positive or negative are irrelevant

Whether Pac wins or loses he engages and thats what fans want.

No. He's Not.

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

Ha! Seeing as his fights are the only PPVs I ever order I wouldn't object to this at all, hell make it $29.99.

These dumb ass promoters need to realize that they are overpaying these boxers and charging ridiculous amounts for these fights in a crap economy isn't gong to fly. Some people would rather pay the electric bill than pay $80 for a PPV that would have cost $50 a few years ago.

You can see the trend with the Mayweather fights too. No more million + buys on a routine basis regardless of who you are because the damn prices are too high. Yet, they keep raising the prices and complaining that it's the fighters' fault for the "less than impressive numbers". It's that corporate mentality that ruins most businesses and it's ruining PPV's as well.

GTFOH with that sheet.

Manny carried the PPV by himself. Bradley only has 6 fans.

Who the hell was on the undercard anyway?

700,000-800,000 ppv buys is a success.

Mayweather vs. Maidana undercard had Bumner and Khan; plus it was on Cinco de Mayo -- big Latino day for boxing.

Manny will always be a PPV fighter.

F10m0s: thank the Latinos, 'cause they're the ones who are buying his fight(s).

a fighter just did 700k-800k buys and shouldnt be PPV worthy any more...... mmmkay.

thank god you never went into business.
