Top Rank's last 2 events=2.1 million PPV Buys. Boxing=4.8 million PPV buys in 2011

[TR vs. GB]

That is how you finish out the year. Good work. Boxing generated about 4.8-5 million PPV Buys in 2011.

These are real actual numbers from sources outside Golden Boy/Top Rank and they are not stupid blown out of proportion ufc/mma numbers. These PPV buys are only for American Television (HBO/Showtime).

Cotto vs. Mayorga- 250k Buys
Pacquiao vs. Mosley- slightly over 1.3 million Buys
Mayweather vs. Ortiz- 1.25 million Buys
Pacquiao vs. Marquez III- 1.4 million Buys
Cotto vs. Margarito II- slightly over 600k Buys
Hopkins vs. Dawson- a little under 50k
Maidana vs. Morales- 50k Buys

Correct and please do not turn this into a ***** vs ******* thread I beg you.

[keehlnate]

where did you get these figures?

[TR vs. GB]

Also Pacquiao vs. Marquez III was the most watched Boxing match in Mexican Television History peaking at about 43.5 million viewers.

Klitschko vs. Haye was watched by approximately 500 million+ people.

These are obviously worldwide figures not just American TV now lol and not PPV.

[Digital Hu$tler]

when did the offical cotto/margarito 2 and pac/marquez 3 numbers come out?

i apologize.

it's just a shame that every single one of those fights, with the exception of cotto/marg and maidana/morales, was very disappointing. . . especially for the average viewer. . . pac/marquez had it's moments, but it was more of a chess match. . . lacked the clean punching, and dramatic two-way action of the first two fights.

ortiz/may was heating up, but fizzled out in the most anticlimactic way possible. . . and dawson/hopkins; yeah, i just want to forget about that. . .

it's good we sold so many buys, but at the same time, i wonder how many of the casual fans who bought the fights were disappointed? it's a double-edged sword kind of thing. .
