Floyd Mayweather's return to the ring last week on pay-per-view was more than a hit.
It was a home run that exceeded expectations to become the No. 1 boxing PPV of 2009.
The Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez non-title bout drew 1 million buys — roughly $52 million, according to HBO PPV — at MGM Grand in Las Vegas last Saturday, by far the former welterweight champion's greatest showing as the headliner.
It is only the fifth time in boxing pay-per-view history that a non-heavyweight event has reached the one million mark.
You guys hated on this fight from day one.
even with a recession, the media trashing this fight,fans talking of boycotting and UFC competing with it all on the same night...
The Mayweather fight still did more than Pacquiao vs. Hatton and probably Pacquiao vs. Cotto
The deck was completely stacked against Mayweather and he still pull it out.
This fight proved Mayweather claim on him being a cash cow.
oh yeah..he has been off for 2 years
