Before Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao mixed it up last weekend (Sat., May 2, 2015) in Las Vegas, Nevada, early estimates predicted that the "Fight of the Century' would garner around three million pay-per-view (PPV) buys.
That would be more than enough to break the previous record, which saw "Money's" title fight against Oscar De La Hoya nab 2.48 million buys in 2007.
But according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports, "MayPac" will leave that record in the dust, as early numbers are showing that "Mayweather vs. Pacquiao" could top five million buys.
