PACQUIAO VS. MOSLEY GENERATES 1.3 MILLION PPV BUYS?

Sources close to the information have informed us that Manny Pacquiao's unanimous decision victory over Shane Mosley last month generated roughly 1.3 million pay-per-view buys. Initially, early projections had promoter Bob Arum estimating at least 1.2 million buys, but with the bout being distributed by Showtime Pay-Per-View and promoted heavily by CBS on network television, expectations were high for a number between 1.4 and 1.5 million. Just days after the fight, a report in the New York Times said Arum expected to know the exact numbers within a week, but that was nearly a month ago. Although representatives from Top Rank Promotions have yet to make the final number official, FightHype.com was told over the weekend by two sources that the number is right around 1.3 million.

Although representatives from Top Rank Promotions have yet to make the final number official, until there is a positive reaction on the $65M offer of Singaporean group.



Go look for your own link......

What is this "Unnamed Sources" floating around recently? I don't believe it because based on my trusted source the number is 1.6 million buys.

Floyd-Mosley generates 1.4 million because people feels that it will be a competitive fight and believes that Mosley have the ability to give Floyd his 1st loss. For Pacquiao-Mosley to generate 1.3 million buy with a lot of boxing fans and writers saying that the fight is a mismatch right when it was first announced shows that Pacquiao now have a bigger drawing power than Floyd.

TS your source is fight hype? no wonder you have to put question mark on your tittle..

it would be reliable if its showtime or top rank itself...

another gossip on the loss...

here is the link

as always..what else is new to FH?

It's more reliable if Arum said 0.3 mil PPV. The fixing takes too long...

is 0.3 mm the diameter of your brain?

The problem is this gossip has been picked up by the examiner website thus making this gossip look like as if it is true........

No, the length of his other brain.....

as long as the lines saying "from a source" and the like with out giving the exact name of the source, it is a gossip. this blogging style was highly popularized by teddy "the lier" atlas.

Fighthype again.

They seem to have many sources than other writers , and all unnamed

It's articles are exposing themselves as scam now ...
