Clottey vs Pacquiao ticket sales and PPV

[InTheNeutralCorner]

yeah, but he did say "in the world". It could be one of those soccer things. Where it's the most popular sport in the world but in the USA, it's only mildly popular. Well, far less than it is in the rest of the world.

The difference is the final numbers only count US sales, correct? I mean, i know they get some money from everyone involved but when they say Oscar/Floyd did 2 million sales, they're only talking 2 million US sales, correct?

With that said, in the USA, Mayweather is the most popular fighter of the 2. He's a household name in more households. He knows how to market himself & is always on ESPN. Pacquiao, while popular in his own right, still lacks the self-promotional skills of Mayweather. It doesn't help that he doesn't speak the language either.

That's true especially after Floyd's appearance on "Dancing with the Stars". Even the general public that never watches boxing knows of him. I'm just not sure how many of them will watch him on PPV.

I still think Mayweather-Mosley will hit pass 1.5 million whereas Pacquiao-Clottey may get half of that. If that happens, then I'll still consider both bouts as successful. Worldwide however, I believe Pac-Clottey will do better than May-Mos.

How many countries are showing this as ppv?

I have heard that Pacquiao's fights had been shown in some countries in Asia (definitely in the Philippines) and in countries where there are a huge number of Filipino population, like Middle East. Wasn't there a poster here who at one time said that he watched a Pacquiao fight in Thailand? Can anybody confirm this and how do they show it (by PPV?)?
