(That is all.)
And your point is?
Im kidding. :cool:
You do realize 148,000 of those were Algieri fans dont you?
I love Manny but I didn't get the fight because of the shifty undercards.
Not surprising.

Don't let Floyd find out. Then he'll change the on again off again offer to 65/35
Wow that really fucking stinks! That's less than 1/3 of the buys PBF/Maidana did. I'm glad it didn't sell well, that fight should have been free on HBO.
You would expect the numbers to be somewhat low as on paper it was a fight made for Pacquiao to look good and that alone. Algieiri is a fair fighter, but he is only a couple of fights beyond FNF's and only just squeaked out a win over Provodnikov who is also a recently stepped up FNF's fighter. It was a poor card with a weak main event whence the numbers. It takes two to tango and you shouldn't expect a main event to produce dynamic numbers with one name alone.
That fight should have never been a PPV so 300 thousand is actually a victory.
Money May's done some big numbers with small names. He did over triple Manny's ppv buys with guys like Guerrero and Maidana.Quote:

Therefore, he continues to milk the boxing public and suckle on the teat with reckless abandon. A fan doesn't care about numbers, a fan cares only about quality fights. Mayweather/Guerrero or Pac/Algieri are one and the same. It takes one pair of eyes to see that.Quote:

There has never been any reason to compare Pacs PPV numbers to Floyd's. That was never close.
Looking past that unreasonable comparison I don't know how anyone could have expected over 400k(reports vary if it was just over 300 or just under 400) for such a shitty fight. Algieri is not world class. He should have a good career on FNFs if he chooses.
I just hope the don't feed another FNFs fighter like Provodnikov to him next. Or force a lightweight to move up. The numbers say make a real fight!
