Floyd Mayweather was issued his toughest tasks to date, both in and out of the ring regarding his May 3 win over Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He survived his test in the ring, fending off a stiff challenge from a surprisingly competitive Maidana. The final pay-per-view returns, however, tell a bit of a different tale.
Those closest to the event continue to remain hush on the official amount, though all indications suggest final numbers much closer to 900,000 units sold than the targeted — or at least hoped for — 1 million mark.
A total of 900,000 would mean roughly $63 million generated in pay-per-view revenue, a figure that is averaged from the number of homes who pay standard price ($64.99) and homes who ordered the event in high-definition viewing ($74.99). The total is spectacular only when not taking into consideration the $37 million-plus total in guaranteed purses, including what was referenced beforehand as the most expensive undercard in pay-per-view history.
