      But this fight would do 700 to 800 buys IMO. I consider that mega.

      But PPV buys isn't the only thing that makes a mega fight. Media coverage and such matters too. Even if Pac/Hatton only did 650K buys, the media coverage on it made it a mega event ya know?
      i think you gotta take into account the skill-level of the two guys involved too

      for it to be a mega event within the boxing world anyway (which is bound to draw interest from the casual followers)

      Pac and Cotto are both very, very good and the fight should be quite even in theory

            it might not pull in a million ppv buys but it'll be a big event in the boxing world.

              On top of the fact you can see both fighters winning the fight...

                  Agreed on all points. It will be billed as two top fighters IN the ring. These are two of the top 5 elites in the sport. It's a mega fight.
