Manny Pacquiao's return to American pay-per-view was much more successful than his previous appearance. Multiple sources have informed BoxingScene.com that preliminary reports from cable and satellite companies, as well as streaming sources, indicate Showtime's four-fight Pacquiao-Broner broadcast Saturday night from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is tracking toward 400,000 pay-per-view buys in the United States.

Not the best numbers but definitely not the worst! This goes to show Canelo is the only legit ppv fighter at the moment which is not good for boxing! Pac is not the draw he once was but I'm sure a rematch with Floyd will get about 2 million buys!

Is Broker a PPV star now?

Crawford is out in the cold, PBC is killing it on PPV right now, and that's going to continue, Crawford is not going to be able to touch these numbers, Arum will be forced to send Crawdaddy across the street.

PBC owns boxing right now, DAZN, ESPN, nobody else can compete, and that's going to be the way of things for awhile, this result puts pressure on DAZN, and ESPN, their stables are not deep enough to compete with Haymon Inc

Even if Pacquiao-Broner ultimately remains under 400,000 buys, it’ll stand as Pacquiao’s best non-Mayweather pay-per-view performance since his rematch with Timothy Bradley. That fight, required because Bradley’s split-decision defeat of Pacquiao in June 2012 was infamously suspect, attracted about 800,000 buys in April 2014.

Their third fight, a seemingly unnecessary rubber match Pacquiao also won in April 2016, produced approximately 375,000 buys.

Damn, I was under the impression the third Bradley fight did 400-500k buys? Not bad that Pacquiao/Broner three years later did on par with that PPV, or if not better.

Not bad numbers at all. Especially considering Pac’s age and that everyone says he’s done. And also that Broner was 0-1-1 last year. They really outdid themselves and what a lot of people predicted

half of them paid to see broner's ghetto ass beat

The numbers are okay, better than what a lot UFC cards do too. $75 for an old Pacquiao vs a never was in Broner was far too high. Could have done better with $25 off and a better undercard.

WTF are you talking about? PBC isn't killing anything on ppv! Unless you're reporting that Canelo is leaving Oscar for Haymon!

Way better than bum squad vs fluff fury
