So much for all the grunts who want so desperately for Boxing to disappear. It's a great sport! Always has been. Always will be.

DLH/Mayweather: 2.4mil in PPV buys
Mayweather/Marquez: 1.0 million PPV buys (and that was just a tune-up)
I predict a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight to beat the 2.4 million mark set by DLH/Mayweather.

Mayweather/Marquez - 1 million PPV buys
Mayweather/De La Hoya - 2.44 million PPV buys
Clearly, De La Hoya was the reason for the huge attraction. Most of Mayweather's PPV fights are purchased by fans of his opposition, not his own fanbase. In his fights with Judah, Gatti, and Baldomir, the fights only sold in the 300K range. For Hatton it was just short of a million. Against Manny it would probably equal or surpass the De La Hoya numbers. Once again, Floyd needs Manny or other marquee names more than they need him. It's his own fault. So much talent and so little heart.

exactly...
Pac as well though, but his fan base also contributed too (for the fight against DLH), but DLH was the bigger attraction though.
