But he obviously isn't going to inflate them to something as unbelievable as 600,000+. Especially since that is when Pac's incentives kick in and he would have to be paid more money.

From Rafael:
Arum said he did not have precise numbers yet for the Pacquiao-Vargas pay-per-view sales because "one thing we can't do is get a handle on all the numbers as quickly as HBO can. They have that down pat, but we'll learn. That said, the numbers are still coming in and we're pleased. We had a good show, we put on some entertaining fights, and we made money, the fighters made money, so that's good."During the lead-up to the fight, which took place at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Arum said they needed to do about 180,000 pay-per-view buys to break even.

It's hard enough getting real numbers for HBO and SHO events, much less a Top Rank show.
I'm very skeptical of the 300k number, but if the break-even point was just 180k, then they could've made money on this regardless of the actual number.
In a crowded PPV month with no HBO backing, that would be impressive.
Now we'll see how Ward-Kovalev does, and they have their work cut out for them, because it's a crowded PPV month...
11/5 - Pacquiao-Vargas
11/12 - UFC: McGregor-Alvarez
11/19 - Ward-Kovalev
11/20 - WWE Survivor Series: Lesnar-Goldberg
