some comps

Canelo vs Jacobs generated a live gate of $8,685,750 from 15,730 tickets sold

Pacquaio vs Broner generated a live gate of $6,000,032 from 11,410 tickets sold

Pacquaio vs Bradley 3 generated a live gate of $6,411,584 million from 13,046 tickets sold

Both of Pacquaio's fights on PBC actually drew less at MGM Grand then his last fight at the MGM Grand which was Bradley 3..

Well, Thurman was in hiding for 2 years. So people didn't get to see him much. So that can be part of it…

the ppv numbers won't be released if they are bad! There's wasn't that much buzz for this fight I don't think they broke 500k. Pacquiao's drawing power has continually gone down since the fourth marquez fight.

I don't think the PPV numbers are going to be good. Satellite numbers come out on Thurs typically daytime thurs after weekend PPV is when the initial estimates are released. That came and went and still nothing. When it's this long without any numbers being tossed around it's typically because they aren't good.

Lower then expected live gate, extremely low tv ratings for the FOX prelim for Caleb Plant. I think the PPV numbers will be close to pacquiao vs broner hell the live gate is almost identical.

If this fight did more than 500k buys PBC would be singing from the hilltops by now.

The PPV numbers must have been one of the worst. They hardly mention the PPV buys when they do horrible.

This is what Fat Boy Dan said about the Bradley live gate 3 years ago also at the MGM Grand calling 6.4M a terrible live gate. Thurman and Broner fights both at MGM Grand did worst.

Pacquiao-Bradley III bombs at gate

Apr 22, 2016

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum called the sales total for Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley Jr. III "terrible" earlier this week and said he lost money on the fight because the April 9 HBO PPV bout generated only between 400,000 and 500,000 buys. The live gate at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas also was poor.

According to figures released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the fight -- after which Pacquiao, a future Hall of Famer, announced his retirement -- sold just 13,046 tickets. That was not close to selling out an arena where Pacquiao had packed in fans many times before.

The ticket sales generated a gate of $6,411,584, the worst of the trilogy with Bradley and Pacquiao's weakest gate since he became a major star.

Pacquiao-Bradley I generated a gate of $8,963,180 in 2012 and the second fight gate was $7,865,100 in 2014.

I guess no ppv numbers? I watched it live stream to my mobile which i paid just under 1usd. I wonder how much i contributed to the numbers... lol

Considering his age Pac is still doing pretty decent. It might have the odd bright point but lets face it, in the age of HQ illegal streams PPV is on a long slow death march, the internet is like Flyod, it just doesn't lose.

Thurman won a tough fight that night

I think the Mayweather fight happens next or they put Manny in with Spence in order to retire him and end the financial losses
