[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The numbers are in. The December 8th HBO-PPV clash between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton generated 850,000 pay-per-view buys. The breakdown was 520,000 from cable and 330,000 from satellite. It was a tremendous year for Floyd, who's bout [/FONT]

850k US and an extra 900k in Britain if reports are to be believed. I'm suprised it only did 850k stateside

I figured it would do around a million.I didnt factor in that the Brits also had to pay to watch.

Didn't Hatton have exclusive rights in getting the money from the UK PPV's?
If that is true then its a high probabilty that Hatton made more money than PBF.

I have a question: This 850K is just American PPV sales obviously, not worldwide. Is the 2.4 that PBF and ODLH did just American sales too?

Yep, Ray Hatton held the UK TV rights so its "Money" Ricky Hatton

PPV kings can do these numbers while fighting lower opposition....like oscar and tyson...

floyd has had alot, i mean alot of help.....he fought ricky and oscar who i'm sure have a wayyyyyyy bigger fan base......

just imagine tyson having a 24/7 series before one of his fights.....

either way, props to them and atleast this fight was somewhat exciting.....

Of course he isn't. Hatton was not only responsible for the 900K in England, but also for the 850K in the U.S. How can you be so naive?

What's really funny is that I never heard the end of it when it came to how much England supported Ricky and no one in the U.S. cared about Floyd, but at the end of the day, no one in the U.S. knew about Ricky Hatton before the fight, so Floyd sold this fight to the Americans by himself, and fell only 50K short in his home country compared to Hatton. Not to mention that the PPV in the U.S. was $15 more. Funny how seemingly all of England was behind Ricky and they were only able to muster 50K more sales, lol.

floyd also gets a percentage of the UK ppv.

total buys worldwide so far 1.75 million buys.:happy

two ppvs with total ppv buys over 1 million the first fighter in history to do that.

Are you being serious?atsch You think that it is an indictment of Hattons support that he only sold 50k more in England than PBF did in the USA, when the USA has a population of over 300 million people and England has a population of 50 million.

You are either stupid or....I don't even know what the alternative could be.
