What commenting booth was that? It looks like it’s from a remote show at some bar or a bad sports book.

UFC does lie about their PPV buys

So does Boxing and every other PPV.

I hear Ariel Helwani on there so I think it's safe to say someone added what Arum said.

The person Arum is talking to is Ariel Helwani. Ariel and Dana White don't get along and Ariel no longer works with ESPN. So it's safe to say that part was added later on and didn't happen on that card. And to solidify that, just look at the fact that Ariel brought up UFC 100 and UFC 101, both of which happened in 2009.

What Numbers do you think Mayweather vs Pac really did then?

Who knows. Just like every PPV, you don’t really know the numbers. They get manipulated by the promoters in any way they can to make it look better then it was. I believe they are all guilty of it, the UFC, PFL, Bellator, Onefc, and Boxing.

Canelo Vs Kahn: ODLH told ESPN they did 600k PPV buys, HBO refused to release the numbers and said that’s up to the promoter. Then it was released by Glaser that it did like 332k.

Showtime boxing head Stephen Espinoza told BoxingScene.com on Monday the network plans on withholding upcoming PPV numbers to avoid the type of controversy that engulfed Floyd Mayweather’s last bout with Marcos Maidana on May 3 when the topic of PPV buys seemed to overwhelm the actual bout itself, he said. The numbers will only be released if the event sets a PPV record, he said.

Espinoza said the network will only release the figures “if it’s a huge record setter, if we break 2.5 [million buys].” But “the normal course of business” will be to withhold the numbers, he said.

“I don’t think it’s particularly healthy,” he said of having the PPV results released to the public. “We just decided we didn’t want to particularly feed into it anymore.”
