Truth 06-10-2005, 10:14 PM I am not sure but I would say it has to be either De La Hoya or Tyson. RwK 06-10-2005, 10:17 PM Im guessing Mike Tyson. Boxingfan81 06-10-2005, 10:19 PM JCC should be close to those two guys... The Fix 06-10-2005, 10:21 PM dlh is the undisputed ppv king, if tyson returns to the top of the heavyweight division id say tyson Truth 06-10-2005, 10:23 PM According to *************.com these are the top PPV buy rates: "Top Boxing Pay Per View Buy Rates # Fight Date Buys Network 1.

Combine him with the top champion Vitali and today it would be hard to break 300k. DLH is the king of ppv in this era. DLH vs Campas sold 700k DLH vs Mosley sold 900k DLH vs Hopkins sold 1 million buys DLH cant be touched. Truth 06-10-2005, 10:28 PM Tyson's last fight sold 144k buys. Combine him with the top champion Vitali and today it would be hard to break 300k. DLH is the king of ppv in this era. For some reason thats a little hard to believe, only because De La Hoya isn't as notorious as Tyson. I am not saying your wrong it just weird to think because of all the media coverage Tyson gets. borikua 06-10-2005, 10:32 PM But who's the one with more PPV events? DLH or Tyson? Truth 06-10-2005, 10:33 PM But who's the one with more PPV events? DLH or Tyson?

Truth 06-10-2005, 10:42 PM Tyson has been on ppv since the 80's and is today. I was watching Tyson vs. Berbick earlier today and I was thinking this was 19 years ago DAMN! Tyson has been around along time and he is still a PPV attraction that saying somthing. The guy is an icon... {BrownBomber} 06-10-2005, 11:31 PM Tyson has been on ppv since the 80's and is today. What good does is that to guy who is the hole.

Tyson vs Lewis did 1.8 million ppv buys, Holyfield vs Tyson had the most buys at 1.99. However, since Holyfield vs Tyson cost $49.95 and Lewis vs Tyson costing $54.95 it generated the most revenue, not the most ppv buys. |
