Pacquiao vs Algieri only 300,000 PPV Buys!!!

[Andre]

And your point is?

Im kidding.

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.

[powerpuncher]

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.
