    Per fight, you are 100% right. And per fight, the 2nd biggest is Floyd.

    Mike Tyson could fight me in the middle of the Mojave Desert right now, and probably sell 1 million PPV's.

      Sorry to bust your optimistic little bubble but Oscar De La Hoya has 14.1M PPV buys (19 events, $696.4M revenue).

      Pacquiao has 10.1M buys and will fight two times this year and is likely to fight more than Floyd to end their careers. He's the front-runner to pass DLH.

      Pacquiao actually has sold more PPVs than Oscar at the same age, and he had one less event. Now that is incredible, whoever would have imagined that a few years ago?

            Evander Holyfield is #3 with $543 million on 12.6 million buys in 14 PPV events.


            Mayweather currently has generated $543 million on 9.6 million buys in only 9 PPV events. He is clearly on his way to surpassing all of the 2 major HW PPV Kings as well as the ALL TIME PPV KING Oscar. Floyds next fight will push him beyond the $610 million that Oscar made and Floyd will do it in his 10th PPV event. In his fight after that (his 11th PPV fight) he will surpass the 12.6 million buys, the record held by Holyfield & De La Hoya.

            #s dont lie and when Mayweather retires he will be the biggest PPV superstar in the history of boxing & will have done it in less PPV fights than De La Hoya, Tyson & Holyfield!

            Thats amazing considering he is a feather fisted runner thats boring
            PPV was way cheaper then compare to now....so of course PBF is going to have better numbers with less fights. PPV cost more. Plus He had that record setting fight with ODLH.

              Yup remember there was no HD PPV back in the Tyson years. Thats impressive.

                Gosh, i hope that is true. If BH wasnt still fighting i dont think Floyd would, but BH has given Floyd inspiration. We have BH to thank for Floyds career.

                But the TS is boasting about the wrong things. He should concentrate on the resume.

                  Floyd is selling PPVs in an era which only has 2 PPV juggernauts.. Pacquiao and Floyd. Oscar fought with other PPV giants at the same time.

                    Floyd's average PPV is OVER one million .

                    What is Pacquiao's average... do you have that?

                      Regardless of who people think is the PPV cash cow or who deserves the bigger purse split, what Floyd and Manny are doing in terms of selling over 1 million in every fight is nothing short of amazing and is great for the sport. Long may it continue
