That was a huge superfight that has been a long time in the making. I saw that the recent Cotto-Canelo fight did about 900K buys which is also good, but many other PPV fights are averaging around 150K buys.
It just seems like 15-20 years ago we heard about boxing and boxing stars all the time. Now we only hear about them if it is a superfight or some kind of controversy. Boxing seems to have fallen out of the public conscious.
