    I'll take your word for it, I know the last 4 figures are all correct and the first two I think are, no idea about Judah but like I said, I'll believe it.

    Where does that put him in comparison to Pacquiao, Holyfield, Tyson and De La Hoya? Anybody know what they're total numbers are?

    Pac-JMM 1 wasn't on PPV. Pac-JMM 2 did about 400k, which actually broke the record for fights below 147. So yeah, lower weights just can't generate enough interest to warrant a PPV main event.

    Oh right. I see. I thought the first one was a PPV aswell. I thought the second one did a bit less aswell.

    Pac's PPV fights:

    - Morales x 3
    - Solis
    - Barrera
    - Marquez
    - Diaz
    - Oscar
    - Hatton
    - Cotto
    - Clottey

    And I guess I must be missing one.

    Were both Barrera fights PPV?

    Must be either that or the Larios fight.

    That's completely false.

    Hatton vs. Mayweather is the 3rd biggest PPV of all time.

    It was 1.7 million. 850'000 refers to the US sales. It sold about the same in the UK as well

    Nearly all of those numbers are wrong. Some more wrong than others. But nearly all wrong.

    De la Hoya was 2.6 million

    Hatton was 1.7 million (850'000 refers to US sales only. It sold huge amounts in the UK)

    Marquez was 1.2 million

    Mosely was 1.6 million

    If you want a source, just google the top 10 all time PPV events. Mayweather has about 4 of the top 10
