Manny Pacquiao vs. Yordenis Ugas may have bombed against UFC Fight Night, according to Twitter.
The UFC did very well on Saturday, it averaged 743k total viewers and peaked at 1 million. Given it was going head-to-head with #PacUgas main card, that probably doesn't bode well for Pacman PPV sales. The UFC PRELIMS averaged 508k and peaked at 710k. Doesn't include streaming

Manny Pacquiao is definitely one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. Manny Pacquiao also dropped a huge Logan Paul bombshell.
Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao really wants to face Juan Manuel Marquez for a fifth fight. Manny Pacquiao recently spoke to ESPN Deportes, where he revealed that he wanted a ton of money to face Manuel Marquez but ultimately money became irrelevant to him.
“I was begging my promoter to get me another [fight with Marquez], I wanted another, but he [Marquez] withdrew [from the discussions],” said Pacquiao to ESPN Deportes.
“I don’t feel bad because I feel like that was a great experience in my career. This is boxing, you cannot always keep winning, sometimes you lose.
“It makes me happy to be an inspiration to many people, and I want people at the end of my career to remember me not only for being a champion in the ring but also a champion outside the ring,” Pacquiao said.
“What I have achieved in boxing goes beyond what I ever imagined. Fighting in eight different divisions, being a champion in four decades, I am happy that in my life I was able to contribute to the history of boxing.”
Manny Pacquiao also faced off against Cuban boxing champion Yordenis Ugas on August 21st as Errol Spence Jr could not compete due to an eye injury. However, the match did not go the way anyone would have anticipated as Yordenis Ugas shockingly defeated Manny Pacquiao with a unanimous decision win (115-113, 116-112, 116-112) and defended his WBA (Super) welterweight title successfully.
