Pacquiao-Bradley III lost money, might not even reach 400,000 buys

More numbers are trickling in for the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley trilogy bout, and it looks like it was a bigger flop than initially predicted.

It's no surprise that Manny Pacquiao's retirement fight vs. Timothy Bradley did not do well at the box office. There was little interest in this trilogy matchup, and while Pacquiao's fans cheered him throughout his eventual unanimous decision win on April 9th, Top Rank's Bob Arum admitted shortly thereafter that the PPV buys were "not good."

"It will be somewhere between those numbers, 400,000 and 500,000. It's all being added up, but it will be closer to 400,000 than 500,000.
