Arum blaming weak Pac vs Bradley numbers on Tim being black smh
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/10912510/manny-pacquiao-timothy-bradley-jr-pay-per-view-sales-dropped-rematch
The Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley Jr. welterweight title rematch on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated between 750,000 and 800,000 pay-per-view buys, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com.
That is a significant decline from what Pacquiao-Bradley I generated when Bradley received a heavily disputed split decision that led to worldwide outrage in June 2012. That fight generated 890,000 pay-per-view buys and many expected the rematch to at least equal the first fight.
"We're between 750,000 and 800,000. Sure, it's a disappointment," Arum said.
"The absence of Mexican or Hispanic opponent hurt," Arum said. "If you had a challenger like, for example, Marquez, the fight would do over a million buys. Tim is a great fighter but he's not Hispanic and he we tried everything to energize the black community without that much success. But we all made money on the fight. We did OK."
He use to say the same thing about.

I think the Pac/Bradley numbers are good. Especially with Manny getting KOed.

Fans aren't thinking about business they are thinking the fights they want to see.
Most of them are with GBP so it doesn't matter. Fans would only want to see him vs Manny or Bradley from top rank.
