I hope it ends up with a good number. The better the number the better for boxing.

At the Judah-Mabuza fight, the women in the crowd were hotter than the ugly ass b-team ring girls.

That total has yet to be released, though Arum insisted it will be above 1.3 million. The total is significant for a number of reasons, not the least of which is to determine the impact that Top Rank’s decision to bring on CBS as a partner to aid in promoting the bout had on the sales.

A year earlier, Mosley fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a bout promoted by Golden Boy on HBO Pay-Per-View. That bout sold 1.4 million pay-per-view units. And with Arum’s failure to release the figure, there has been furious speculation in the industry that the Pacquiao-Mosley fight didn’t sell nearly as well as Mayweather-Mosley.

Several rival promoters are whispering that the Pacquiao-Mosley figure is actually 1.18 million. Arum says that is not the case and said this reporter’s prediction that it would settle on 1.375 million “might turn out to be right on the money.”

Arum explained the failure to release the numbers as an accounting issue. He said HBO Pay-Per-View’s Mark Taffet has a great ability to estimate a show’s performance based on the early numbers that come in. Generally, Taffet releases a number for an HBO Pay-Per-View show about five days after the fight.

Arum said neither Top Rank nor Showtime has the ability to predict a number like Taffet does, leading to the reporting delay. He said it could be months before there is one.

On May 20, presumably from rehab, De La Hoya wrote on Twitter, “Does anyone know the official Ppv #for mosley manny fight?”

On the surface, it was a harmless question, but given the belief among many outside of the promotion that Pacquiao-Mosley didn’t do as well as Arum said, and not nearly as well as Mayweather-Mosley, it’s clearly an attempt to jab at Top Rank.
