By Chris Williams: Bob Arum of Top Rank has finally come out to give a pay-per-view number for Manny Pacquiao’s rematch against WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-1, 12 KO’s) last month on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The numbers aren’t good in terms of the huge 1 million PPV buy fights that Pacquiao enjoyed in years gone by. Arum is saying that the Pacquaio-Bradley 2 rematch brought in between “750,000 and 800,000” PPV buys, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. There wasn’t an exact number given by Arum, and HBO hasn’t released the numbers themselves for some reason.
“We’re between 750,000 and 800,000. Sure, it’s a disappointment,” Arum said to ESPN.
