1.25 million.
Fat dan on his twitter...
The Mayweather-Ortiz fight generated $78,440,000 in PPV revenue, making it the 2nd-highest grossing non-heavyweight PPV ever.
In terms of buys (not revenue), the 1.25 million Mayweather-Ortiz did means it tied for third all-time among non-heavyweight PPVs. #boxing
Those who wrote Mayweather-Ortiz did 850,000 buys or some other bogus number had no facts, just rumor, to back up their fraudulent reporting
Who would have thought Ortiz could do that all by himself in his first ppv and nobody knowing who he is?
well i'm sure considering it was a mexican holiday that day that a lot of mexicans went to see ortiz. but those are good numbers though. good for boxing!
