Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is very excited with the overwhelming fan reaction to the upcoming super-fight between welterweight champions Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, which takes place on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The pay-per-view is expected to break all of the current records. Mayweather's fight with Oscar De La Hoya, from 2007, is the record-holder with 2.4 million buys.
Arum would not be surprised if Mayweather-Pacquiao generated 4 million or even 5 million pay-per-view purchases - stating "the interest is amazing...even from people who do not follow sports, people who do not follow boxing. Wherever you go, people are talking about the fight."
