Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Bradley Trilogy: PPV, Gate Figures Disappoint

ok. nothing from glaser or dan Rafael.

I know right. Weird huh? They blamed Mayweather for GGG's PPV numbers being low and said MayPac ruined boxing for the casual fans. Then Canelo got 900k and suddenly casual fans were back

I'm kinda hoping Canelo drops the belt so I can read all the articles explaining why the fight should take place at a later date. These people are so bias I don't understand how people can't see it. Rafael's Twitter picture is of him and Canelo. He's a fanboy. The boxing media is terrible!

Seriously though, in what world does Bob Arum occupy to think that a third Pacquiao/Bradley fight was going to be a financial PPV success?

Nobody on earth wanted a third fight between these two. And I'm a fan of both fighters, too.

Not interested cos Pacquiaos swansong did more than Mayweathers swan song?

lol he wasn't interested yet was interested enough to give a quote from "wiki" as hard evidence.

"not interested" yet knew it was "450 in wiki", but really, he's "not interested" lol

From Rafael:

"It will be somewhere between those numbers, 400,000 and 500,000. It's all being added up, but it will be closer to 400,000 than 500,000. Terrible," Arum said.

Some in the industry say they think Arum is being optimistic and that when everything is counted, the fight might not even reach 400,000.

wiki has it at 450k

That's wrong. According to Bob himself he said the number will be close to 400k. But industry sources state it's less.

Maybe you could look up a few posts to see what Rafael wrote....

Showtime always has less numbers for boxing events, HBO has more boxing fan subscribers. We all know this, but you want to compare Pacquiao fighting a P4P fighter on HBO to Mayweather fighting a bum on Showtime?

He needs to stop his ruse of being impartial and objective.

If in fact the rubber match with Timothy Bradley Jr. was the final fight in the historic career of Manny Pacquiao, then he goes out with a whimper in relation to his once lofty box office appeal.

That's a shame. I was hoping to watch them on a day to day basis and pretend I was part of it..
