thats free tv. we are talking about PPV numbers. it barely made 300 thousand and two thirds were from the U.S. face it. pacquiao can't sell. his popularity is off of the mayweather hate

Dummy 48 mil didnt order the fight, they watched it for free. Read the article lol

pacquiao sold 48 thousand PPV's in china. not 48 mil.48 thousand.. the other two thirds that made it 300 thousand came the the united startes. pacquiao brings no excitement and he can't sell. his name is like "oh well". no mayweather's name is mention and it gets everybodies attention.

Better than any fight Floyd has fought in years Nancy. :yawn:

let me guess, Vargas is "young and hungry"? Something like that? Bob Aums ruining the last few years of Pacs career with these **** fights..why cant you see that? Pac deserves better and you know it

This is America, as americans born in this great country we should celebrate our Holidays.

"Casual american fans" would also get the day off on the day of the fight, I wouldn't mind it either.

as long as theres no clinchers on a PPV, it's a real boxing match.


Canelo vs Cotto May 2nd, great way to give back to the true fans.

If Canelo BEAT MAYWEATHER and Mayweather was still trying to fight on that date...I would totally agree with CANELO, BUT that is not the case, he got dominate and now he wants that date HANDED TO HIM BECAUSE HE IS MEXICAN! Sorry But It Don't Work Like That!

I doubt Mayweather is afraid to go Head to Head. All they will do is stack up the card and add Chavez Jr to the Card, WTF do you think Haymon signed him for?:

Mayweather vs Khan
Chavez Jr vs Froch

That Double Header RUINS Cotto vs Canelo especially if you take into consideration the fact that Chavez Jr is a bigger DRAW than Canelo based on his PPV Numbers vs Martinez compared to Canelo vs Lara and Angulo

Mayweather is not going to move off of that date. They all will lose money on that date because of EGO and the fans will lose out having to choose or trying to switch back and forth to Events.

The Plan is after Mayweather is done, those Mexican Dates are going to CHAVEZ JR...NOT CANELO! Chavez was signed FOR A REASON! (JUST ME ASSUMING... )

48mill

The fight being in China had a lot to do with those low numbers. His rematch with Bradley did 750k-800k buys though, hater.

Hershman said it did about what Rios Pac did so around 475k ppvs and yes 48 million Chinese watched Pac algieri too, it was free but still that about half the number off ppl who watch super bowl, its an absurd number, arum made bank, not to mention around the same number watch Manny fight from the phillipines, and he owns all the tv rights from the phillipines, this fight was a huge success, paquiao should be A side against mayweather. Imagine Floyd declines the fight because its not may 2nd and Manny fights canelo may 2nd and Floyd moves off the date lol that would be epic. It would show Floyd really was ducking because he fights someone else on a different date but ducked pacquiao, I really hope that's what top rank is doing, sticking it to mayweather

Last time i checked Canelo's a gringo and those dates arent for Gringos

[ricodonjefe]

Imo the cotto vs canelo will happen but not on Cinco De Mayo. Seem like gbp /Oscar made there contract and demand will fight here on this date for you belt!! Cotto ppl stated nothing official yet haven't gave there terms and agreements I doubt this fight happens on may 5 Cotto is the A side it'll be on his terms!!!
