Bob Arum now says early ppv reports indicate more than 600,000 buys for #ChavezMartinez. He says buzz from conflicting cards "didn't hurt."

[The Big Dunn]

thats a great number.

[Bronard]

The type of number I expected. Pretty good actually.

[Redd Foxx]

I remember many he scoffing at the idea that it would do 400-500k.

[-PBP-]

Wow. Good number if true

[ElBossHogg™]

that great. Good numbers

[IMDAZED]

Arum can't even remember which lie he wants to use for Pacquiao-Marquez III. This sounds nice but I'll wait for something official.

[DoktorSleepless]

1 million viewers on Showtime must have cost them at least 150k buys though. Unless all the cheapskates tuned in to showtime and weren't going to buy anyway.

My guess was 300k originally. Quite surprised.

[HUGEBOXINGFAN]

man did Boxing have tremendous success last weekend with ticket sales, ppv buys, closed circuit sales this sport is truly alive and kicking

Stopped at Bob Arum says...ill wait for officialnumbers if we ever see them
