        Makes a big difference.

          Damn if number 5 is just 150ish more than Joshua did, Joshua is gonna be HUGE if he keeps winning. Joshua vs Haye breaks into the top 5. Joshua vs Fury in 18mos or so might be #1 or #2.

            That's an interesting question, i'd be interested in seeing a list myself.

            I saw this on an old Daily Mail link :

            Pay per view on Sky Box Office
            • Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather (2007) 1,000,000 +

            • Lennox Lewis v Mike Tyson (2002) 760,000

            • Frank Bruno v Tyson (1996) 660,000

            • Tyson v Evander Holyfield (1997) 550,000

            • Tyson v Julius Francis (2000) 500,000

            Since that article though, there has been Pacquiao Vs Mayweather and Groves Vs Froch which i'd guess sold well.
            Hatton vs Pacquiao (i think was PPV?) and some of Haye's fight may have sold well also.

            EDIT: Oops Aldo beat me to it. Sorry for the double post.

                400K is really good considering that not only wasn't it picked up in the US... most people on this side of the pond barely knew of either of them. If Whtye has some good fights after he rehabs his shoulder and a few more impressive KO's against US fighters...a rematch would definitely get picked up in the US...might even take place in Vegas and do gang-busters.

                    Joshua doesn't need to fight in America, he sold out the 02 arena in 17mins, He'll be the a-side when it's time for him to fight Wilder.

                      400K with a much smaller population. Really impressive.
