Pacquiao-Margarito does 1.15 million PPV buys

[fan johnny]

So much for boycott then.

I really thought it was only gonna do 800-900k.

Damn. This could mean Margo will get his $4M bonus.

How do you know the boycott wasn't effective?

generalbulldog,

first of all, i did not know chavez and oscar fought at catchweights. had i known that, i would have disagreed with that and slammed them as well. and by the way, one catchweight is wrong but i guess can be understandable but when there is a pattern like pacquiao's insistance on catchweights, that's when it becomes total bullshit.

Maybe the boycott was effective. But not much.

generalbulldog,

look my son, if EVERYBODY on this forum agreed that pacquiao was the GOAT and thinks nobody can touch him, this forum would get pretty boring, don't you think? well, i'm sorry to burst your bubble but although i believe pacquiao has done great things in the ring, there are still many questions about him that need to be answered.

it's good to have opposing views. it's the democratic way in that people are different and might have different views than others. say what you will about bernard hopkins, but he's just saying the truth that pacquiao continues to avoid fast, young, in their prime fighters. it's not a coincidence that marquez took the anointed one to hell and back. it's not a coincidence that he's been asking for catchweights from bigger fighters!

my thing is this, if you want to play with fire, you'd better be prepared to play by the rules and not come in with some sort of advantage just because your smaller. pacquiao wanted these fights he should have played by the rules. if he couldn't do that, he should have stayed at a lower division.

the truth hurts doesn't it?

What about coming in with some sort of advantage even when they're bigger? This is what Floyd did when he did not meet the weight in his fight with JMM. And I saw in another thread that you even mentioned that fight as one of the astounding achievements of Floyd.

Why did Floyd's name even get mentioned in here? I just want to make sure that you are not a hypocrite and that you did criticize Floyd for doing that. Did you?

generalbulldog,



And about catchweight fights who gives a shit about catchweight fights. People have a problem because it's Pacquiao. You sure as hell don't criticize De La Hoya and Chavez doing catchweight fights. I sure wonder why? Ain't that the truth homey.

Catch weight fights are fine but when your fighting for the championship of a division there should be no catch weight, if you want to come in lower then the division allows that's fine but don't make the other guy do it also. Pacquiao is the only one I can think of who has fought for championships at catch weights, are there others who demanded lower weights for the title??


Not sure but from your post I do think De la Hoya did that to Hopkins ?? and of course Leonard for the LHW title, any others.??

Criminals don't care about what rules you have because they are not bound by them. And then on the other hand, neither does Superman. Not everything fits into the box.

The fight was a quality fight and was worth the money.

neutral,

the reason why i mentioned floyd's win over marquez is in the easy manner in which he beat him. it was a work of art and that you cannot deny. do i think he's a scumbag by coming in overweight? sure i do. see there? i called him a scumbag like i call pacquiao a scumbag.

what i was most surprised in the way was how easily he beat marquez while pacquiao was lucky to get a gift decision over him.

yet you praise and applaud a cheating fuck like Margarito, i swear double standards are a work of art when it comes to you...

morales,

still crying over cotto's humiliating ass whipping he took from margarito?

[Fenster]

You boys argue about the same shit over and over again. Here's some facts -

Floyd is an outstanding fighter. Fact.
Pac is an outstanding fighter. Fact.
Floyd sells shit loads PPV. Fact.
Pac sells shit loads PPV. Fact.

The end. Fact.

Honestly I don't think it matters much with the color of a person's skin or what not. It's the match up that makes the fight and causes the pay per view sales. I think if it hadn't been for Margarito's dubious past, this fight might have sold only 600,000 buys. Other than seeing a cheating villian beat up this fight really had zero relevance. A fight with Mosley and Pac has zero relevance as we know that Shane is washed up now. Other than a Bradley fight or a third match with JMM who seemed to be unlucky in many eyes to not win one or the other of the two fights they have had already, there really doesn't seem anyone around to truly interest people in a Pac fight to a large measure. Other than Mayweather who seems to just not be interested in a Pac fight.

So where do you rate Chris John? He didn't take the beating from Marquez like Pacquiao did so I would say, it was much easier for him to beat Marquez as well.

[skel1983]

Very good numbers, what money did the fighters get for this fight?
