    Lewis-Tyson sold a little less than Tyson-Holyfield 2 but generated more money because they charged more.

    So it is #2 in money generated on PPV, just not in terms of orders.

    The majority of these fights weren't very good.
    • Mayweather vs. De La Hoya: Not enough action, a letdown after the hype.
    • Holyfield vs. Tyson 2: Bite-fight.
    • Lewis vs. Tyson: After round 1, a one-sided ass kicking.
    • Tyson vs. McNeely: Lasted a minute and a half. And McNeeley's corner stopped it, so we didn't get to see a nice KO.
    • Trinidad vs. De La Hoya: Disappointing fight, controversial decision.
    • Tyson vs. Bruno 2- One sided ass-kicking.
    • Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya: Another one-sided ass kicking.
    • Holyfield vs. Lewis 1: Average fight in terms of action, disgraceful decision.

    I remember the early estimates for Mayweather-De La Hoya were 2.1-2.2 but they revised the number later and said it was 2.4.

    They did the same for De La Hoya-Mayorga. I guess the original totals were incomplete.
