Pacquiao - Clottey Fight Discussion

Any news on the PPV figures. I have read Arum expect 900,000 to a million, but then again it is Arum talking and seems to do more bs'ing than anything else. If this is the case though that would be HUGE. No 24/7, pretty much no build up at all. We will see I guess

Ya, I read before the fight Arum budgeted for 500-700K PPV Buys and a few days before the fight he had preliminary numbers and gave the 900k number and is hoping it would at least equal the Cotto fight. Since the fight has happened, I haven't read him saying anything. Even after Pac/Cotto he was surprisingly able to control his mouth unlike when Pac fought Hatton.

fight didn't need much advertising since Manny was on TV spots b4 the fight, and much of his support comes from Filipinos who were quite aware of the fight

. Those that couldn't join their kababayans in Texas watched it for sure.

there is ppv in Philippines 4 Pacman's fights, but those numbers, I presume, are not counted.

Filipinos have surely shown their buying power in boxing now.

I'd guess they did around 800- 850 K or so on ppv
