Pacquiao vs Margarito Huge Failure at Box Office

how many times do we have to do this dance

cause he was expecting alot more people!!!!!

If you expect to make a gagillion dollars and you only make a bazillion, you're probably still happy. The turn out was lower than expected, but you need a serious dose of


BE REAL.

wolf if anyone needs to be real on this one its you

gate of $6,359,985,

that was the Clottey gate, which had more paying customers

The fight was rewarded with a paid crowd of 36,371 and a gate of $6,359,985, according to post-fight tax reports filed with Texas boxing regulators.81 Counting complimentary tickets delivered to sponsors, media outlets and others, the Dallas fight attracted 41,843,81 well short of the 50,994 that was previously announced”

wait that was the clottey gate that did about 40?

How is 40k a failure?

Jones and Arum where promoting a fight! What did you expect them to say?

Before the fight they had sold 30k, I would of been of surprised if they met that #

Im sure Arum expected more Mexicanos to support but Margarito but they didnt

No one should have expected Mexicans to support Margarito based on the performance of his last PPV.

15k vs some can from Mexico

lol ya.

People are tired of seeing Manny fight guys they know he is gonna beat. If they want 80k people in the seats and want to break a PPV record then get PAC vs UBF!

He's too busy getting into confrontations with security guards even though he's on trial for assault

The purpose of the card was to make money. It did that . BOY did it do that!! PPV receipts are not yet in, but even on the live gate the fight was a success. Calling a "Huge Failure" is like calling Angelina Jolie ugly because you prefer blondes. It just aint true.

i wouldnt say huge failure.

Cotto at Yankee Stadium sold 20k tickets. Arum was talking 25-30k. Still good though.

40k is still pretty good

PPV numbers are in. Pac vs Margarito did 1.5 PPV buys which is MORE than FLoyd did vs Mayweather (1.4).

Floyd missed his chance to be in charge of the money side of the negotiations. PAC is the proven bigger draw now.

those ae great ppv numbers, the live gate wasnt what was expected but Arum made money

Tyson-Lewis put up great PPV numbers and yet didnt have a sell-out crowd.

Im still finding it hard to believe that Clottey outdrew Margo in TX.

Maybe the first ever fight at JerryWorld at something to do with it.
