Well you were comparing Manny's PPV to Cotto's NON PPV.

Actually it was 3.9 million viewers not 1.9, 1.9 was the ones who watched the re-aired broadcast on Sunday. I don't give two ****s if it wasn't pay per view. No one watched anything on HBO more in the whole damn year. In two days it totaled 5.8 million viewers lol but it ain't PPV??

You're wrong too. Ratings don't work by counting people, they count how many HOMES watched the fight. 1.9 million HOMES watched the Cotto fight, just like 700k watched Pac/Clottey. So whether its PPV or not Cotto had more "homes" watching than every PPV bought but May/DLH. Obviously this is a ****** example, but I'm using your logic and everyone else who says "so and so" did more. Of course more people watched Pac/Clottey because people were throwing parties and had 5-15+ people watching it at their house. Unfortunetly, there is no Nielson spokesmen who comes and counts people at everyones house thus they use how many HOMES bought.

Also, if the ratings ****** they wouldn't have even brought it up. Instead they had some HUGE numbers for a boxing fight. Highest since the cash cow DLH fought Forbes in '08 and if you take that out I'm sure it was the highest rating on HBO in a decade for a boxing match. Point is people would be bitching about it being in PPV if it was, so its on HBO with a great rating and instead people ***** because it wasn't on PPV or because Cotto was in it, no point it giving it any credit. I mean jesus, just be happy boxing is making a comeback whether you like the guy or not, its simply GOOD for the sport.
