So, apparently Pac-Diaz did 250 thousand buys

Fernando vargas has been a draw for years and did about 150k for his fight with Ricardo Mayorga.

Mayorga - Vargas did 300K.

Guys put it this way... choose

a - 250k PPV buys - (high gas prices of 200

b - 250k PPV buys - gas prices of 2004-2005-2006-2007
(lets consider the present economic status)

which is more impressive?

I think a is more impressive than b. Now figure it out guys. But in the pacman standard it's pretty low. It takes two to tango really in this sport. Pacman is not an american and still learning to speak english. Diaz is mexican american but not a well known champion boxer outside of the boxing circle.

i still rate this a very impressive PPV BUYS

despite the low output in pacman's standard.

What does the high gas prices have anything to do with PPV buys?

Usually when costs go up in one area of your household budget, spending goes down in other areas of your household budget. Frivolous spending is cut back, that being the entertainment part of the household budget.

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

i for one mate didn't watch it on my own PPV cable. i went to a friends house just to watch this fight(pacman-diaz). Im on tight budget right now. Before we even drove from san diego to las vegas just to watch championship boxing live. now we intend only to watch on PPV with our drinking buddies. Gas price hike sucks.. you know.. everything is affected. we already had the cotto-margarito set for weekend party at the same friends house. It's cheaper. Got my point mate, on why im still impress with the 250K buys of the diaz-pacman fight.

peace.
