I really don't think PPV numbers determine how big fights r. I guarantee Pacquiao/Mosley will sell over 1 million, but the general consensus amongst fans that actually know what's up is that it's a BS fight and some claim it should be boycotted.
And De La Hoya/Pacquiao was one of De La Hoya's highest PPV's, but everyone that had been following boxing (including Filipino fans) thought it was going to be a one-sided destruction of Pacquiao. A lot of people were even criticizing Oscar.
I agree De La Hoya/Mayweather was a big fight, but only becuz of the general fan consensus was that it should be.
Was De La Hoya/Chavez I on PPV... I wonder how much that would have sold.
