Honestly, I was thinking "ehhh, 500K" but this proves that Floyd is a PPV attraction. There is no more question. When the dude says he's "Money" he's got the proof. He basically sold this PPV off of his name. Marquez's following helped out but Pac-MArquez 2 only did like 500K. Mayweather is finally signed, sealed, and delivered as a true PPV superstar. I thought the PPV would do well because of the buzz amongst everyone but not that well. You haters can't say anything about the man. He's proved the money part, now he's just gotta fight and beat Pac or Mosley (I think both fights will happen honestly) to become the greatest fighter of our generation (if he isn't already).

    I don't believe these numbers coz I work in a liquor store where most of the ppv buyers stopped by first before the fight. I just don't see the buzz before & after the fight. More than half of the regular ppv buyers that I know told me they didn't ordered it.

    Don't count the chickens before they're hatched. Pacquiao/Hatton was rumoured to have sold around 1.6-1.9 million at the beginning, it ended up around 875K.

    There was word that HBO was going to release the numbers late Wednesday or on Thursday. So far no word or official release from HBO.

    The longer HBO take to release the number, the less likely that it was huge as the rumours claimed.

    I bet it is around the same as the Hatton/Pacquiao fight.
