    Top 30 Pay-Per-Views of all-time (with inflation):

    I saw this in an article and thought it was pretty interesting.

    As of March 2019, corrected for inflation, the Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman fight made more money than the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight.

    Floyd Mayweather leads the list showing up 8 times in the list of the top 30 PPVs of all time.

    Mike Tyson - 7

    Muhammad Ali - 4

    Evander Holyfield - 3
    Oscar de la Hoya - 3
    Canelo - 3


    George Foreman - 2
    Joe Frazier - 2
    Ricky Hatton - 2
    Juan Manuel Márquez - 2
    Miguel Cotto - 2
