I read Pacquiao's earning for De La Hoya fight were over $20 Million. His $11 million purse plus, the 1.25 Million PPV split.

His Pacquiao/Hatton purse plus the PPV split will also put him over $22-$25 million but the number of UK PPVs haven't been published, as far as I know. I recall a guesstimate of ~850K US Buys and ~500K UK buys which would put the total somewhere in the neighborhood of ~1.35-1.4 Million PPV total buys being split up. That is 100k-200K more PPV buys than the De La Hoya bout. The 500K was unsubstantiated rumor from an inside UK television source, I think it was a Dan R (ESPN) Article, I forget but a very conservative guess considering the estimates were to be 800K+ and over 1 million buys for the UK.
