    Pac - Margarito numbers were reported by HBO - 1.15 million buys. Also officially (reported by HBO) Hatton, Cotto, Oscar all did over 1 million buys.


    Mosley - 1.3 million
    Marquez 3 - 1.4 million
    Marquez 4 - 1.15 million

    ^ None of these #'s have been disputed by anybody. Unless HBO / SHowitme are in on a conspiracy or something.

    Pac is a huge draw - get over it.

    Mayweather isn't flopping against Guerrero, casuals love watching him fight and this is the only real PPV in 6 months, he'll do his numbers

    :rofl @ Tyson-McNeeley outdoing the vast majority of PPV fights in history. Mike still has four of the top five all-time.

    His peak numbers make him that, but Floyd's average per fight over careers is actually level with him. They're the only ones who average 1+ M.


    Used to have that as my avatar for a minute. :D

    damn, I always assumed Mike was number 1 with the average. Maybe he was a year or 2 ago when I checked, but Floyd has caught up with more 1+ million ppvs :shock:

    and that's a dope pic. :yep

    Mike is without a doubt the bigest draw ever (in the ppv era anyway). He could fight tomato cans and draw huge numbers.

    The 1+'s

    Floyd:

    De La Hoya: 2,450,000
    Marquez: 1,100,000
    Mosley: 1,400,000
    Ortiz: 1,250,000
    Cotto: 1,500,000

    Hatton did 920K.

    Tyson:

    Ruddock II: 1,250,000
    McNeeley: 1,550,000
    Bruno: 1,370,000
    Seldon: 1,010,000
    Holyfield I: 1,590,000
    Holyfield II: 1,990,000
    Lewis: 1,970,000

    Ruddock I did 970K or something around there. Holyfield II will probably stand as the most chaotic event ever... That **** was absurdly hyped too. I was ten years old and remember exactly what happened almost that whole day. Remember being an absolute nervous wreck. :lol: 2 million people were in before they knew Tyson would bite a chunk of the man's ear off so I don't know that its accurate to say people just wanted to see a train wreck. Most of his figures were before he went total psycho, only Lewis was sold on that.
