LMAO!!! Margacheato vs Garcia PPV numbers

[Diane]

This little tidbit appeared in Dan Rafael's blog today about Sergio Martinez.


• Margarito's reputation may be permanently damaged, even in the eyes of typically loyal Hispanic fight fans, if his recent pay-per-view numbers are any indication. They didn't show much interest in his May 8 ring return against Robert Garcia, which followed a 16-month layoff after his license revocation for trying to wear loaded gloves. I was told by somebody who would know that the Top Rank "Latin Fury" card Margarito headlined did around 12,000 to 15,000 buys, which is pathetic, even when you consider it wasn't on the primary pay-per-view channel that night because of a UFC event.


I'm surprised that it even got that many buys.

No wonder Arum started mentioning a rematch between Cotto and Pac (if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen), after Cotto's win. Especially since HBO just announced that Cotto/Foreman had the highest rating for HBO so far in 2010, with 1.9 million viewers.


Here's the blog the ppv numbers are mentioned in, if you also want to read about how HBO is kind of screwing Martinez over.

Why doesn't Sergio Martinez have an HBO date? - ESPN

That many people paid to watch Margarito? That's outrageous. He should have been paying the fans to watch him in this one.

i was one of those 12-15K who paid for the PPV event and let me tell you, it was well worth it. not only was margarito entertaining, the undercard was good as well.

don't know about you but i wouldn't be openly admitting that i was one of the 12-15K retards that supported a cheat and further tarnished the reputation of this great sport

why? i happen to be a fan of antonio margarito and i'm not ashamed to say it. hey, he served his time and it's only a matter of time before he gets to fight in the united states again. besides, the undercard was very good. i also wanted to see if margarito had anything left and i was pleasantly surprised that he's vastly improved.

i saw the fight and only thing he did was tighten his defense just barely, he's still the guy that got his ass whooped when he finally didn't have the bricks in his gloves, sorry i don't support any cheater like Margarito, he's just another Luis Resto, can go broke and get beat to a pulp for all i care, the day Margarito fights in the US again, is the day that boxing loses all credibility

Weak. Still on the witch hunt? Lol.

[toe2toe]

i read there a great live attendance at the arena. below a photo during one of the undercard fights.

[ElTerribleMorales]

catfish face pacquiao. lol...can't believe mr. steroids packy is allowed to keep fighting.

yet Margarito who WAS CAUGHT cheating should be "allowed to make a living"

[jolz]

catfish face pacquiao. lol...can't believe mr. steroids packy is allowed to keep fighting.

is there any credible proof that Pacquiao is on roids? Or are you just a Mayweather D1cksucker on the loose?

Marga was caught and there is a credible evidence for his cheating...

!d!ot...

[milmascaras1]

just like other fighters who were caught taking steroids have been allowed to make a living, margarito, who, it has never been proven that he used those illegal wraps in an actual fight, should be allowed to fight again. number one, he did serve his one year sentence, two, he did ktfo out of cotto with no proof of him ever using illegal wraps that night. as for catfish pacquiao-cheato, just by his own refusal to take those blood tests already casts him as a cheater and a liar. idiot Jolz!!!

Get yer head out of your ass boy. 1 year suspension is nothin. Margo redhandedly got caught for attempted assault. Margarito should be doing prison time, getting raped right at this moment. As for Pac, you still can't provide any solid evidence that he's a roid user. And it's now even harder for you to prove your blind theory now that Pac has already agreed for the USADA standard testing procedure.
