Unless you were living under a rock, you know that Manny Pacquiao beat Miguel Cotto on a weekend ago on an HBO pay-per-view event. HBO says that there were 1.25 million buys which translates into $70 million in revenue for the company. It was the first time in ten years that two boxing matches each reached the $1 million plateau (the other being the Mayweather/Marquez fight). This is great for HBO and signifies that boxing isn’t quite dead yet with the onset of MMA’s growing popularity.
