Default 2007 - Highest Grossing Year in the History of HBO Boxing

850K buy Mayweather-Hatton!
The numbers are in. The December 8th HBO-PPV clash between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton generated 850,000 pay-per-view buys and $47 million in PPV revenue. The breakdown was 520,000 from cable and 330,000 from satellite. It was a tremendous year for Floyd, who's bout with Oscar De La Hoya in May generated an all time record 2.4 million buys and $134 million in revenue. All told, 2007 was the highest performing year in HBO Pay-Per-View history with 4.8 million buys and more than $255 million in revenue across eight boxing events. The previous high for HBO PPV in boxing was in 1999 with four million buys and $200 million in revenue. In 2006, HBO PPV registered 3.7 million buys and $177 million in revenue.

Boxing is dead? Boxing isn't even struggling.

Shhhh with that nonsense.

Oscar is the main reason that is so high. He has a long track record of high ppv buys PBF does not.

And all those buys from the Mayweather Hatton fight, were not just for Floyd.

Oscar is the biggest draw in boxing today.

Rofl PBF makes me interested in boxing again, with all his mma trash talking. Sorta lost touch after the whole Mike Tyson era. PBF is the fucking shit, gotta love his trash talking it reminds me of Ali.
