Manny in the money after Las Vegas win - CNN.com

Great news for us boxing fans, isnt it!! ... and the fact
they said boxing is dying LOL Even in this economy a US prize fight
with 2 international boxers can gross this amount ... simply staggering!!

I wonder how many were actual US buys, the Uk must have helped out alot ?

Is This number Both UK and US Buys or just US Buys?

Think that may just be HBO buys alone

Not bad for the 2 fellas that earnt themselves 20million each for 6minutes work

Yep not bad at all especially when your a fan of both fighters, love them both so was a bitter sweet moment for me when the KO happened. Was hoping it was a back and forth contest between
the 2, right to points but ehhh ... guess that didnt go to well

ahh well ... glad they are both picking up a few bob

Definatly great depression numbers....

Depression or no depression that is very impressive for two fighters outside of the U.S. and they aren't even Heavyweights. At least there is some good that came out of the fight.

Boxing is dead? Hell no, Boxing is as healthy as it has ever been.

Have you just come out of a coma?

One is mentioning.... That number comes at a time when there are live stream feeds around the Internet.

If the number is HBO only, then this might possibly be the most watched boxing match in history if you include the rest of the world.

What do you think a Mayweather MP bout will reach in terms of PPV buys? I estimate above 2.5 million easily.

2 million PPV buys during these hard times is probabaly like 2.4 million in normal times right?

I would really love for this fight to be the biggest PPV revenue in history.

Firstly, so someone other than De La Hoya can hold the record (showing that boxing can survive without him). Secondly, so Mayweather can have something shoved in his face for self-proclaiming himself the biggest thing in the sport/"cash cow"/"anyone who wants their biggest pay-day fights me"/ETC.

I'm actually really anxious to hear the final numbers...
