So...what you're really saying is that Mayweather has averaged 1,000,000 PPV buys per event in the same time that Pacquiao has averaged less than 500,000 per event...or what?
No on goes on average. You look at all time PPV list with De La hoya, Holyfield, Tyson and you dont see any averages. At the end of the day it is how many you sold total.
BTW your math is wrong

And if we go on a per event basis, Mayweather has been involved in all of the current top 3 highest grossing non-heavyweight gates of all-time...and Pacquiao has been involved in zero of the top 3...

Found an article by Dan Rafael that states that Manny Pacquiao vs Marco Antonio Barrera II did 340,000 buys for PPV numbers.
Here is the statement:
"Pac-ing it in
Manny Pacquiao's decision against Marco Antonio Barrera in their Oct. 6 rematch at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay generated a little more than 340,000 buys and nearly $17 million on HBO PPV, multiple industry sources told ESPN.com. The fight also generated a live gate of $2.963 million, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Pacquiao co-promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com that he no longer will allow HBO PPV to release buys for his PPV cards, good or bad.
The 340,000-plus figure is more than Arum and Golden Boy anticipated when they made the fight. It also sends Barrera into retirement with his best-ever PPV performance. According to HBO PPV figures, Barrera's 2001 fight with Naseem Hamed did 320,000, the third bout with Erik Morales did 310,000 in 2004 and the second fight in 2002 did 300,000.
For Pacquiao, the figure fell shy of his 2005-06 trilogy with Morales: 350,000 (fight No. 1), 355,000 (No. 2) and 345,000 (No. 3)."
