Pacquiao-Hatton PPV numbers

[fan johnny]

Good find I've been looking for this one.

I wonder if there is a statistic to determine how many PPV sales are lost due to live streams? I suppose they could just use the live stream hit numbers but then it would be unjustly high, but it still might be in the neighborhood of Mayweather/Dela Hoya in terms of views. If I were a promoter I'd look into putting the fight on podcasts and the like.

One other thing not being mentioned as far as the numbers go. Is the number of viewer watching in the Philippines. I read an article that said the fight was broadcast live in all the movie theaters ($10-$20 per head) and were sold out while free television was a delayed broadcast.
