The October 12th Welterweight title bout that saw Timothy Bradley score a split decision over Juan Manuel Marquez did a reported in excess of 375, 000 Pay Per View buys according to Dan Rafael of espn.com
“The number of buys is between 375,000 and 390,000,” said Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum. “It depends on a lot of stuff, some of the cable numbers which we don’t fully have yet. But based on our history of doing pay-per-views, I think it will go closer to 390,000. It will definitely hit 375,000 and even a few months later we still get additional buys that come in.”
“I’m confident we did over 375,000, closer to 390,000, but Todd thinks it’s 375,000. Either way, it was a successful promotion that made money,” Arum said.
“The closed circuit did extraordinarily well, which was a big plus,” Arum said. “At the end of the day, [Top Rank] made over $2 million on the fight.”
The fight generated a gate of $2,998,950 from 10,683 tickets sold. There were 1,370 complimentary tickets given away and 5,649 tickets went unsold.
