Manny Pacquiao- Joshua Clotty does 700k PPV buys

[Luke]

Manny Pacquiao's lopsided unanimous decision against Joshua Clottey generated 700,000 pay-per-view buys and $35.3 million in domestic television revenue, HBO PPV's Mark Taffet said Tuesday.

The pound-for-pound king routed Clottey to retain his welterweight title on March 13 in the first boxing event staged at Jerry Jones' $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Clottey, a native of Ghana living in New York, brought no significant fan base to the fight and was virtually unknown to the masses, so the figures are a credit to Pacquiao's popularity.

700k buys for a horrible fight .Glad I watched it for free

[Mr. IWS]

I hope Clottey invests wisely. He won't be getting another payday like that.

He only got 3 million .

Is that all? Poor bastard.

[Mr. IWS]

LOL...Only 3 Million.

So he got around 500k per punch thrown?

[Luke]

I didnt mean only 3 million like its nothing to me.

3 million to "fight Manny" is a joke considering Cotto got 15 million and DLH got 40 million

They didnt know before the fight it would be a sparing session


or did they?
