    Damn!! Again Manny was the greatest of all time and current era by far and now he is also the PPV king. The media is right when they said floyd would get exposed sooner or later. Now his career is ruined, he is the joke of the sport and going to jail for god knows how long for beating a woman. Probably will be sentenced again who knows. God bless Manny he deserves everything and the world. My prayers with him.

                These statistics are actually pretty inaccurate. Boxing only counts PPV Buys (HBO) for North America whereas UFC,WWE count all international sales together. UFC is also a private company and these figures are only projections from sources on how they sold. For instance Pacquiao vs. Cotto was trending towards 1.8 million buys sources believed after the fight but it only received 1.25 million buys because HBO is a publicly traded company and they only release true accurate figures.

                  I think the low numbers for MMA are due to the number of PPVs they put out in just a short time. Theirs like 1 everyone month it seems like..

                    Another very compelling reason why Pac will never fight Floyd, or why Arum will never let it happen...
