You can't trust Arum:

The Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley Jr. welterweight title rematch on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated between 750,000 and 800,000 pay-per-view buys, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com.
That is a significant decline from what Pacquiao-Bradley I generated when Bradley received a heavily disputed split decision that led to worldwide outrage in June 2012.

Mayweather earned $32 million guaranteed for the fight with Maidana banking $3 million. Both fighters can earn millions more based on pay-per-view sales, but this fight was not expected to be a box office hit and there is likely to be little PPV upside for either man. Their May bout generated around 900,000 PPV buys and Saturday’s fight will be hard-pressed to top that number.Comment

Espinoza never released any number doe. Keep on trying.
Fans looking forward to sifting through future pay-per-view numbers after a big fight as a way to rate the success of a promotion shouldn’t rely on Showtime to provide those figures going forward. Showtime boxing head Stephen Espinoza told BoxingScene.com on Monday the network plans on withholding upcoming PPV numbers to avoid the type of controversy that engulfed Floyd Mayweather’s last bout with Marcos Maidana on May 3 when the topic of PPV buys seemed to overwhelm the actual bout itself, he said. The numbers will only be released if the event sets a PPV record, he said.Comment

Again, don't trust Arum:

While Mayweather continues to be the biggest pay per view draw in boxing his 900,000 buys exceeded the 775,000-800,000 buys that Manny Pacquiao-Tim Bradley generated in April and pushed Mayweather to 13.7 million total buys since 2006 -- the slide under 1 million buys in two of his last three fights highlights a need for Mayweather to fight more high profile opponents.Comment
