What is the most U.S PPV buys by two non-american fighters?

[Kevin Jesus]

That's not what I asked and that's also incorrect. Oscar de la hoya (american) vs Floyd Mayweather (american) did 2.4 million buys and that was like 2 years ago.

Yeah i read it wrong, let's switch eyes to see how good you can read with them(I have last stage Keratoconus and i am in disability[age 20])

But yeah
Oscar is mexican-american. Thought you meant pure americans. Yeah you are correct, DLH vs Mayweather.

Oh you must have missed the obvious sarcasm. I'm well aware how well boxing is doing accross the globe, and my last comment about boxing being dead was a joke, as Pacquiao and Hatton are about to get approximately 1 million PPV buys....and they aren't even american! That says something very positive about our sport.

You're question is actually really good. Without the names Tyson or DLH it's hard to figure out who the two non-mexican non-american fighters were.

That's a great question.

before ppv's I know of a similar situation where the fight drew major numbers in the U.S. where one guy was pinoy and the other an englishman. Pancho Villa vs. Jimmy Wilde.

Maybe Cotto-Margarito?

Yeah but back then **** was doing 120 k people live gate and the world listening on radio.

PPV is pretty much the last 30 years or so.


I am trying to figure out the answer myself.

originally but after hatton looked like **** in his comeback bout no one was buying that fight. and hatton is **** at 147 that has already been proven. So the next best thing was to introduce manny to the casuals with the dlh fight and now we got manny vs hatton. tr and gbp have teamed up nicely to milk manny

You've proven yourself an idiot. Oscar vs. hatton = more money regardless. If Oscar thought like you he'd be broke. Hatton vs. DLH = 100% Golden boy paid as a fighter and promoter. Hatton vs. Pacquiao = 50% Golden Boy splits 1/2 of promotion with Top Rank minus 15-20 mil as a fighter. Learn math dude.

They were Mexican. They don't count.

Thank you very much!!

So 800K is the magic number. Let's see if Pacman/Hatton can break this record.

But again those are Mexican's, so it's no surprise as the Mexican population has always been a big part of boxing.

Bonus question would be what non-american, non-mexican PPV sold the most? That's gotta be a tough one to find....green k to anyone that knows.

Off the top of my head

Lennox - Vitali?

was that even a ppv?
