Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Broner Show Tracking Toward 400,000 PPV Buys

Those are decent numbers. The funny thing is if Haymon matches Broner against easy competition to make him look like a beast the rest of the year and rack up a few wins he could put Broner in another ppv fight HAHAHA

Not the best numbers but definitely not the worst! This goes to show Canelo is the only legit ppv fighter at the moment which is not good for boxing! Pac is not the draw he once was but I'm sure a rematch with Floyd will get about 2 million buys!

Canelo pretty much needs a big name to do close to a million, other than that he does around 350-500k as has been proven. That might be the reason he went with DAZN and getting that guarantee since there arent many fighters out there that he can get big PPV numbers.

Anybody doing 300K is a ppv fighter.

I actually think if Shawn Porter doesn't get the rematch with Keith Thurman and Mayweather doesn't come out of retirement. I could see a possible Thurman vs Pacquiao later this year.

Considering standard PPV is dying, 400,000 at $75 a pop, damn plenty of money to share around. This would have been one of the better performing PPV's lately, Canelo is the true PPV star now.

You mean the clenbuterol king is the new ppv star?

Any PPV numbers branded around for Pacquaio-Broner are strictly speculation, or propaganda from Showtime and PBC, as it's too early for a real number. The early tracking numbers on Saturday were "decent" Lets wait a couple days. Remember, the organizers lie about the numbers, to make it sound bigger than it is, so if you didn't buy it, it's like "Look what you missed" so you buy the next PPV. It's salesmanship by the "suits" for the media to eat up, and pass it on to the public. There's a big difference between "uninformed" and "******" I can make you informed, but ****** is something you have to change, I can't do it for you. - Rick Glaser




Dwayne Jones If Showtime lied about numbers they will have issues with there investors.

Rick Glaser Dwayne, if they lie by 20% or more that is considered corporate fraud.

...

So if they report $400K buys, the real number can be as low as 324,000?

Glaser is a hack though.

Manny Pacquiao's return to American pay-per-view was much more successful than his previous appearance. Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that preliminary reports from cable and satellite companies, as well as streaming sources, indicate Showtime's four-fight Pacquiao-Broner broadcast Saturday night from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is tracking toward 400,000 pay-per-view buys in the United States.

This is a major success. I though this will only do around 100-200k

But but but the limeys say ppv is dead “doe” (when attacking black Americans).....isn’t that what they said when they said Hearn and dazn was “taking over American boxing”???!

manny Pacquiao proving he's still a box office draw.

Pacs drawing power can be attributed to poor matchmaking from his previous promoter, who kept him exclusively in house and attractive matches by the wayside. Fortunately the matches are still there for Pac, he has options with some big fights strong possibilities. Looking forward to his success without Bob, who sabotaged his career the last few years of his deal IMO he tried to kill Pacs marketability before he signed with anyone else.
