Would Pacquiao-Crawford sell more PPVs than Pacquiao-Thurman did?

Maybe lower... GrandPac is a PPV flop, so as Bud...

[Eff Pandas]

I'd bet against it. I don't think Bud is as mainstream & casual fan friendly as Keef was, even if hardcores consider Bud better, & obviously Manny is just a lil older now. Plus Bob doesn't really invest in a PPV like other platforms do.

MAYBE Manny vs Bud get a one off shoulder show hyping the fight, but that's it. TR is a bean counting promoter. That's good for the bottom line of the promotion, but it's bad for maximizing PPV money.

In Those middle-eastern countries we might all be surprised by the numbers. The english will love that fight too if they put it on PPV there.

[KillaMane26]

I think it does...... The casual public will eventually understand just how dangerous the fight is. And it's a guaranteed action fight.

I think public interest would grow alot the week of the fight

[Ca$ual Fan]

Its not got to do better its got to do 3 times better, the money he wants wont allow under a million buys to break even.

I’m just answering this in response to the thread question.

Plus, you don’t have to worry about that money cause it won’t be Bob’s money but from Saudi/UAE cause they won’t be fighting in US with this one.

Imo this could still go over a million buys based on the factors I considered earlier.

Nobody exactly knows how Manny’s market radar has grown since the Thurman fight but one thing’s for sure - Manny has been elevated back to ‘elite’ status in people’s eyes since then and people are anticipating his comeback.

[just the facts]

Pac-crawford will easily surpass 1million ppv.

I doubt it, Pac can't do those numbers by himself and Crawford brings very little to the table.

[STREET CLEANER]

He will do similar numbers. Crawford is unknown but if ESPN heavily promotes this they can do a bit better.
