Comments Thread For: Arum on Bradley-Marquez, Pacquiao-Rios PPV Buyrates

We'll never know the real #'s anyway. Arum never reveals the money generated, because then he couldn't lie about the PPV buys. He hasn't released a revenue number since Margarito and Pacquiao.

The betting houses in China are quite interesting -- one should look for the money there.

Its free to air in china .



The Pacquiao-Rios fight will be free to the Chinese fans, but you can only imagine what the reaction will be in early 2014 if Arum suddenly tries to sell a Pacquiao fight to the Chinese fans for $5 or $6 after a knockout loss to Rios.

I really want to see both these fights but I hate Top Rank under cards, I'm not paying $70.00 to see one fight when I can wait a weekend and see it on HBO. They should have combined the Marquez vs Bradley and Pac vs Rios on one card, Top Rank gets all of the money anyway so it shouldn't have been a big deal.

What eighth grader is Zou Shiming fighting this time?

I don't even care how much any of these ppvs sell. As long as we get to see the fights that we want, that's all that matters.

Pac needs a name to help sell a fight. I don't know how many ppvs this fight will sell...and I don't really care. It's a good fight. Rios is going to be a rough fight for Pac. 2 years ago Pac takes Rios apart. Now, I don't know. I'll say that Rios is tailor made for Pac, but is there any gas left in Pacs tank?

Don't know his name but I heard he will have a two inch height advantage over Zou.

Manny is gonna hurt rios.

I think the fight could sell well depending on how HBO promotes it and if the undercard is great.

Brandon Rios has never been a champ at super welter...I think the author meant lightweight.

Glad to see that Pac for the first time in years is actually fighting a REAL WW... O wait Super WW champ Rios! lol

Actually when WAS the last time Pac fought a WW Champ? Let a lone a Super WW Champ.

Anyone know if Bob is guaranteeing Pac at least $40 million for this entertainment show?
