May Calls out Pac (FRONT PAGE ON MSN)

[-Kev-]

you're talking about the gate.

I don't think there are official PPV numbers out.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s fourth-round knockout of Victor Ortiz to reclaim a welterweight title on Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas generated 1.25 million buys and $78.44 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, Golden Boy Promotions announced Friday.

The 1.25 million buys for the HBO PPV fight, dubbed "Star Power," tied it for third place all-time among non-heavyweight pay-per-views and gave Mayweather his third consecutive one million-plus pay-per-view fight and fourth in his past five bouts.

The revenue generated made Mayweather-Ortiz the second-highest grossing non-heavyweight fight in history. Although the buys equaled those of Manny Pacquiao's 2008 fight with Oscar De La Hoya and virtually matched those of Pacquiao-Shane Mosley in May (official numbers were not released for that fight), Mayweather-Ortiz beat both in revenue generated because it sold for a higher price, $59.95 in standard definition and $69.95 in most markets for high definition.


Mayweather now has appeared in the three biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view events in boxing history in terms of revenue generated. The fight with De La Hoya grossed an all-time record $136,853,700 and the Mosley fight generated $78.33 million.

It is, Mayweather participated in #1, 2, and 3 highest grossing non HW fight. It's just that these people don't even know what a dud is. At 65-75 bucks, 1.25Mill PPV's a dud? Lol yeah right.

mayweather's ppv was 800k that's why no hbo release ##

[jltsmae]

Ellerbe said they have not renegotiated with TOP RANK... Floyd already have a contract... wadaheck...

must be the contract for a floyd - morales/ alvarez fight but still use pac's name to sell his fight (with morales/ alvarez)...

[Sin City]

And here I thought that May - Ortiz was right behind Oscar vs May and May vs Shane as the third highest grossing non heavyweight fight of all time.

the gate was. not the ppv numbers.
