Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) of Sports Illustrated tweeted on Wednesday that the Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios pay-per-view (PPV) garnered “somewhere between 450K and 500K”. (*See actual tweet from Mannix below.)

Yeah, there's a reason why there haven't been a lot of major foreign pay-per-view cards.

To put things into perspective, if you combine Tim Bradley vs. Juan Manuel Marquez and now Pacquiao vs. Rios, it still may not have equaled what Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero did by itself...

More info coming in on #PacquiaoRios PPV: Multiple sources say the number is UNDER 500K buys. Somewhere between 450K and 500K.
