Arum said Floyd will be fighting on Nov. 12 on PPV against Margarito and that he knows that will sell more than the Gatti fight. LOL he said he knows this cause Floyd is a SUPERSTAR now.

Floyd is the best boxer out there right now but he aint no superstar (in the sence he cant sell tickets)and Margarito isnt even a great boxer and doesnt have the fanbase like a Cotto Mosley Judah or Hatton. So it will in no way sell more than the Gatti fight

idk but the Tito/Wright fight sold out more than 500K and the Tito/DLH fight sold more than 1 Mill..

I was surprised to hear that this was Floyd first PPV...How old is he 28-30?...I think that he's on his peak and should try to make as more money as possible in his next fights...

Mayweather-Gatti Over 350,000 PPV Buys!

Arum: "Mayweather-Gatti North of 350,000 PPV Buys!"
By G. Leon

June 28, 2005 - Floyd Mayweather Jr's promoter Bob Arum has informed **********.com that the Floyd Mayweather Jr-Arturo Gatti title fight has generated at least 350,000 PPV buys. Arum says the final number could approach 400,000. Arum again confirmed to **********.com that Mayweather will return to the ring on HBO PPV November 12. Arum also stated that he feels a PPV between Mayweather and WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito would do bigger PPV numbers than the Gatti fight "because now Mayweather's a star." Obviously boxing fans would prefer to see Mayweather take on Ricky Hatton, Zab Judah or Shane Mosley before he faces Margarito. It's also tough to imagine Mayweather-Margarito generating more PPV dollars than Hatton, Judah or Mosley.
NOW THAT IS SOME CRAZY ****!

Tyson was probably up there, but his net earnings are probably amongst the least.

I'd imagine Oscar is pretty high up there.
