Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs. Algieri in Serious Talks For 11/22

Like fuckin' A man.
Fuckin' A.
I hate boxing sometimes.

People in China don't give a ****. They just want to see Manny Pacquiao. Arum knows what he is doing. The fight will sell out and he will test the market with $1 PPVs in a country with 1.3 billion people in it.

I'm not paying for this **** but it is what it is.

I thought his first chinese ppv bombed so hard that he had to retract all of his whining about the mgm and have a fight again in America

Lol...Seriously...Lol...

IIRC the Rios PPV was $5 in China right? Were any numbers ever released in regards to Chinese PPV buys, or how much $ it amounted to?

I'm just wondering where the profit comes from. Unless it's just something Top Rank is doing in order to get the Chinese public accustomed to boxing.

I assume this is Arum's line of thinking- completely disregard the US PPV in favor of Chinese money. He'll probably get like $10 mil for the site fee (got $8 mil for Rios), make bank off the gate, and milk the Chinese PPV. Seems like he couldn't give a rat's ass about the paying American public.

They didn't have the Chinese PPV set up for the Rios fight.

Having to pay $70 for this makes it much worse.

They make you pay for ppv fights in what ever podunk country you live in?

[R_Walken]

The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are both picking opponents they feel they will convincingly beat, and then Mayweather's "surprise" for May will finally be a showdown with Pac.

^^^
Hoping for that too.

Agree with everyone else this is a pile of ****. If this happens First PPV I won't even consider buying in awhile it's not like TR will stack the undercard

[Loque-san]

Woow... I don't even know what to say. Everything must have been said in 6 pages anyway.

Oh is that right? I remember there were a bunch of Mayweather fans making fun of the $5 price tag for the entire build up.

It's sad to watch a maniacal old man waste the end of Pac's career.
