Box-office smash: De La Hoya's mashing of Mayorga drew 875,000 buys (475,000 from cable systems; 400,000 from satellite homes) and generated $43.8 million in pay-per-view revenue, HBO Sports reported.

That makes it the fifth highest grossing, non-heavyweight fight in history. De La Hoya was involved in all five. The four others:

1999 vs. Trinidad, 1.4 million buys

2004 vs. Bernard Hopkins, 1 million buys

2003 rematch vs. Shane Mosley, 950,000 buys

2002 vs. Fernando Vargas, 935,000 buys
