According to HBO, the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cottomegafight generated 1.25 million buys and $70 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, making it the biggest boxing PPV event of 2009. HBO will replay the fight this Saturday night at 10 pm ET/PT.

The Sept. 19 Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez bout did 1.05 million buys, making this the first time in a decade that two PPV events have generated at least one million buys in the same calendar year. 1999 featured Felix Trinidad-Oscar De La Hoya and the first meeting between Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield.

A fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather would likely shatter numerous pay-per-view records. Let's hope negotiations go smoothly and a date is set for Spring 2010.

Pacquiao-Cotto Does 1.25 Million PPV Buys originally appeared on About.com Boxing on Friday, November 20th, 2009 at 14:26:52.
