Pacquiao already matched the pay-per-view history of former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson that generate at least 1 million buys on his three consecutive years of fight. The last fight of Pacquiao against Margarito generates at least 1.15 million buys and on domestic pay-per-view revenue got $64 million.
It was said by the senior vice president Mark Taffet who runs HBO PPV that they’re not yet finished counting the PPV revenue for the Pacquiao and Margarito fight. Until now the HBO is still working on it.
The Oscar De La Hoya against Pacquiao eighth-round fight that generates 1.25 million buys last 2008 and Cotto against Pacquiao 12th-round knockout fight last 2009 sold 1.2 million units are lopsided by Pacquiao’s latest victory with Antonio Margarito.
Taffet also said that this is the third consecutive year that Pacquiao exceeds 1 million buys and generated 5.1 million buys on his last five fights. Pacquiao is now recognized not only for pound-for-pound king but also the PPV superstar.
Anyways everybody is still hoping for the Pacquiao, pound-for-pound king against Mayweather, this will truly be the biggest fight in boxing. Hope that this will be the next fight.
