Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

It's been 4 weeks since the Gayweather v. Ortiz fight and still, no word from HBO as to the true PPV sales. Numbers and guesstimates have been mentioned: 1.7 M to 2 M (Golden Girl Promotions, hype), 850K (Steve Kim, hearsay), Nine, Nine, Nine ("Marley the Magnificent", humor), 500K (Brad Cooney, rumor).

Only HBO can clear this mud. So, HBO what is the true figure? I ask you to speak now or forever hold your piece (peace).

Like what all americans say... The last man who knows what he is doing is gone ,by the name of steve jobs.. Currently theyre saVing the last american self proclaimd ppv king floyd. Hope they know what theyre doing

The official PPV figures will only be released after the PAC vs. JMM fight. If the PAC fight makes 1.5M buys, HBO will just say that Floyd vs. Quitter Ortiz got 1.45 to 1.55M to satisfy Floyd's ego!

maybe di pa tapos may mga nag order pa yata.




and wrong forum

Now where's that id!ot FH Editor guy who came up with 1.3 million PPV figure. Until now, Floydhype has not posted a follow up article that would have corroborated their earlier estimate. Even flomo extraordinaire Vivek Wallace is uncharacteristically silent up to this point. It looks like they did a poor PR job and Floyd may not be too keen to renew their services in his next fight. It's kind of embarrassing to be a flomo nowadays.

Where did Brad Cooney say 500k?

They're still adding up the refunds .

HBO remains silent.

Floydhype remains silent.

Like what that song says: "Silence like a cancer grows."

Conclusion: Gayweather v. Ortiz PPV sales is DISMAL. But HBO will never release this news to the media unless they are ready to diss Gayweather. Read on.

Implication: If Pacquiao v. Marquez PPV sales reaches beyond Arum's expectations (likely) and much better than Gayweather v. Ortiz's (most likely), Pacquiao ceases the upperhand in negotiations (purse) if ever there is a Pacquiao v. Gayweather.

Impact on the future of Pacquiao v. Gayweather: Don't hold your breath. Gayweather will retire for good and hold on to his "zero" rather than take a purse equal to or lower than Pacquiao's.

Just my 2 cents.

Due to overwhelming buys, they just can't figure it out..

I should say, seizes (not ceases). Mea culpa.
