......so cotto vs marg had to do about 350,000 buys or more because boxing averaged 337,000 with trinidad vs rjj doing 500,000, marquez vs pacquiao 400,000, diaz vs pacquiao 200,000

That makes sense.

Good to see you back DOmain

Those are good numbers for boxing, considering it is generally lighter weight class fighters. The biggest fights are all yet to come. Pac-De La Hoya is going to be 2 million plus, no doubt. Pavlik-Hopkins and Calzaghe-Jones are going to be really big buys, so this is a very solid year.

Our sport is in good shape my friends, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. The heavyweight division has got to get going again somehow, unify those titles, and we're getting back to mainstream.

I agree, this last quarter is going to be huge.

They don't have the Margarito vs Cotto numbers in that list, plus the Pac vs Marquez number is a little off.

The second half of this year will be bigger then the first half since Pac vs DLH and Roy vs Slappy will both have 24/7 to make those huge PPV events.

no i know i just did a mathematic calculation and it oudnt of been less than 350,000 but the de la hoya should do over 1 million so it should be right behind their ass.

To begin with, there was simply calculation error in the erroneous numbers:
2,933,000 / 7 = 419,000

I would like to point out a major error in the calculations in this report. The report goes until July but forgets to include W.W.E.'s July Event of Great American Bash (which did about 195,000) buys. The amount of buys listed for July is actually belonged to "Night Of Champions" (273,000) which happened in late June along with "One Night Stand" (194,000) which happened in early June.

The numbers for June should be 467,000 with 2 events and July should be 195,000 with one event

Therefore, the actual number for W.W.E. buys should be:
Total: 3,128,000 Average: 391,000 with 6/14 events left

Here are the fixed numbers in the charts:
