Yesterday Thurman made a statement on the PPV subscription. He was saying that 1 million PPV buys may be possible, which will bring somewhere around $75 million to $80 million in revenue. I am not sure about it. Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner reported only 400,000 PPV sales. I expect the figure to remain somewhere around that.
What would be the reason why this fight between Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman will reach 1 million PPV? As you've said Pacquiao vs Adrien Broner reported only reached 400,000 PPV sales and that fight was also promoted heavily by Floyd Mayweather. Half a million maybe but for it to reach 1 million, I don't think so. He is just trying to sell the fight which is understandable.
