    That's the problem, there was no official press release regarding the PPV...everything was pure speculation. I guess, it ain't much then. Nobody's been gloating from the promoters concerned.

    Very true, however there must be other ppv countries? Also, fights like Hatton-Mayweather are PPV and you never hear the combined numbers.

    500k is pretty good right?

    Yeah, 500k is really good since their wasnt a lot of hype surrounding the fight. I think Canada and some other places pay for it. I am not sure though. :think

    500k is a damn good amount considering no one besides hardcore fans knew who margarito was, how many would a rematch do?

    Everyone was saying 450-500k but it is weird, it was never officially announced though.

    The fight did 450K. Dan Rafael says he confirmed the number with HBO during one of his chats.
