[Toney616]

I never knew that Hopkins fights did such numbers, his had a serious drop off over the last couple of fights though:
Hopkins:
* Hopkins-Jones II: 150,000 buys
* Hopkins-Pavlik: 190,000 buys
* Hopkins-Wright: 305,000 buys
* Hopkins-Tarver: 330,000 buys
* Hopkins-Taylor II: 410,000 buys
* Hopkins-Taylor I: 370,000 buys
* Hopkins-Trinidad: 480,000 buys
Tito:
* Trindiad-Oscar: 1.4m buys
* Trindiad-Jones: 500,000 buys
* Trinidad-Wright: 520,000 buys
* Trinidad-Mayorga: 470,000 buys
* Trinidad-Hopkins: 480,000 buys
* Trinidad-Vargas: 560,000 buys
Jones:
* Jones-Calzaghe: 225,000 buys
* Jones-Toney: 300,000 buys
* Jones-Tarver: 302,000 buys
* Jones-Tarver II: 384,000 buys

* Jones-Ruiz: 602,000 buys

Roy Jones generated 160,000-175,000 buys in his first few PPV bouts against Montell Griffin, Vinny Pazienza and Eric Harding," Mark Taffett would explain in a previous report.

Interesting numbers. Hopkins didn't really become a PPV star until the Oscar bout. Prior to that, he had been involved in only one PPV headliner - where he wasn't the draw (Tito). But the Oscar effect shows in those numbers.

Back then PPV wasn't as prevalent. Oscar-Tito today would do over 2mil buys easy.

Oscar was a massive star, I wonder if Arum/Golden Boy/King will ever be able to synthesize the magic formula and produce another "Oscar".
