Comments Thread For: Mayweather Feels PPV Buys Will Reach 5.2 Million

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO/WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has earned a payday - in a single fight - that superstars like Oscar De La Hoya and Mike Tyson spent an entire career putting together.

Only a few weeks have passed since his mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao, which Mayweather won with a twelve round unanimous decision. The officials scored it 118-110, 116-112, 116-112.

The fight broke the pay-per-view record that Mayweather set in 2007 for his clash with Oscar De La Hoya, which generated 2.48 million purchases. The PPV with Pacquiao has already brought in 4.4 million buys. [Click Here To Read More]

Amazing numbers that will probably never be equalled again .

It's absolutely crazy the amount of $ this fight generated.

This sporting event available for 1 night generated the equivalent of a massive blockbuster movie in a sport that most have written off for dead.

I underestimated the sucess it'd have but I'm glad it was such a smash.

Not bad for Mayweather Promotions first PPV

Junior didn't want to fight because low PPV numbers of Manny, remember???
ONLY FLOM*S BOUGHT THAT BS OBVIOUSLY!!!

Well, I hope that Floyd is right on these numbers (although it will upset some people). As I see it, Floyd did the work and earned every cent that he gets. I just wish that more fighters could earn the big paydays too.
