My thoughts on this are that the public and casual sports fans would buy this fight because they are the ones that makes up the bulk of PPV sales not hardcore boxing fans. At this point of Pac's career whether it's a fight with JMM, Mosley, Berto, or the winner of Alexander/Bradley it will do very good numbers as in 800k and up, at least. A lot of hardcore boxing fans boycotted the Pac-Margarito fight and it still did 1.15 million US PPV sales, especially when Margarito did a very dismal number on PPV with Garcia prior to his fight with Pac.
Certain fighters with certain promoters can turn PPV shit into gold. See King and Tyson-McNeely or Arum and Pac-Margarito. Or other recent fights that were shit was turned into PPV gold, Haye-Harrison, Haye-Ruiz, although that was in the UK, those are examples that casual people and sports fans will buy it if it's promoted right.
And Filipino-Americans aren't the only ones buying Pac fights, I would bet the white Americans and the Latino Americans made up the bulk of the Pac/Margo US PPV sales, since those 2 groups comprised of anywhere between 80-85 percent of the US population.
