De La Hoya-Mayweather Does 2.15 Million Buys

by user KMcRae

This past Satuday's WBC Jr. Middleweight Championship bout between Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. shattered the all-time records for PPV buys and revenue generated.  HBO Sports reported today that the fight was purchased by 2.15 million homes and generated $120 million dollars in revenue. The 2.15 million buys for a PPV fight smashed the previous record by 160,000. 

With these numbers and the closeness of the fight it's hard to a imagine a rematch not taking place.

Geez, its a shame that the fight was considered a flop because it was not a brawl. Any fight that comes after this one will be considered a failure.

I watched it and I mildly enjoyed it, but only because I hadn't watched a big fight in awhile. On the plus side, it reminded me how much I liked watching Manny Pacquiao and now I can't for his next fight. Heard Oscar made $20million from the PPV receipts. That's $45million and counting. WOW.
