Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Bradley 3 Will Probably Do 700,000 PPV Buys

I don't think so. The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight left a sour taste in a lot of casual fans mouths. When I try and talk boxing with my buddies all I hear about is how much that fight stunk. Couple that with the fact that no one asked for this trilogy and I don't think it does better than decent buys. I say 450,000.

And in other news...........who really cares about PPV on this site?

It isn't a skill.

If it does, I will eat my own shorts.

Now, I'm not trashing this fight on quality, because we're about to see the 2 premier welters on the planet go at it but the reality is, the promotion around this fight has been terrible. HBO isn't putting it's usual muscle behind it, Pac has left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of his fans with his last fight and recent statements (a lot of celebs will probably keep away) and Bradley doesn't have much drawing power.

Plus, much like Robinson and LaMotta, we've already seen Pac both outbox and outbrawl Bradley, so boxing fans know this fight is unlikely to be competitive. Unless of course, Pacquiao is too far gone.

Last time he fought a bobody (c. algieri) he made 350. After all these f--ag issues and it's being the 3rd fight we can say it'll make around 300.

i am buying because people should be able to speak their minds.

Politically correctness is a way of controlling your thoughts by Big Brother.

No way Arum. The fact that most fans feel Manny already convincingly won the first 2 fights and feel no need for a 3rd fight and the controversy from Manny's gay comments this fight will be lucky to do half that.

I just ordered this 700,000 times. I got you Bob you damn Je.......

[FrankieClutch]

That would be amazing if they pulled that off. Can't see it doing over 400k

I've ordered every Manny PPV since Morales 2 but I'm not ordering this ****. still gonna watch it doe

[DeadLikeMe]

Shows you why they kept him away from Floyd for so long. His star power was immediately going in the ****ter after that loss. People are being generous with 350k range estimates imo.

The audacity of hope!
