    So Bob Arum thinks PacBradley 3 will do less buys than Mayweather/Berto.

    I wonder what Floyd thinks about that.

You know...and it's funny, it's funny how some people were criticizing that fight talking about they weren't buying it, and I said I don't care, don't buy it. And then they bought it anyway. But when Bob Arum heavily promotes a fight, it does less than mine. But you know, I'm just thankful, truly blessed."

      knowing floyd, if arum says pac/bradley 3 did less than floyd/berto, floyd will come back and said pac/bradley 3 did more than floyd/berto. anything to go against the bobfather.

        1: Because it debunks the running theory that Manny is so much more beloved than Floyd when Manny has the same problem selling out a fight people didn't want to see.

        2: Because a Floyd video about it is almost certain.

          So you think NSB hasn't had enough Floyd-Manny threads?

            I thought Pacquiao vs Bradley 3 had done more than 300k, but oh well.

              And Floyd's fight with Berto cost more. But Manny still did pretty good for a fight nobody was asking for. I'm glad Arum lost money on this fight. We wanted Khan or Crawford but he gave us Bradley. But there are plenty of fighters out there who would wish they could sell 400-500k instead of 150k

                I thoroughly enjoyed Pacquiao's last fight and that's all that matters. I don't care about stats and PPV buys, that stuff's for d1ckless nerds.

                    It just shows what a state the sport is in and how right Arum was when he said that stacking cards is ****** because people only show up for the main event.

                    That was honestly one of the best events I've watched, possibly the best I've seen all the way through, beautifully structured and although no one asked for Pac-Brad III, the fight sure was fun between two p4p'ers.
