The bout between Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather, Jr. and “Sugar” Shane Mosley billed as “Who R U Picking?” last May is the first and only pay-per-view boxing event of the year so far to reach the 1 million buys mark with 1.4 million PPV buys.
With Manny Pacquiao’s worldwide appeal and Antonio Margarito’s huge Mexican fan base, HBO Boxing’s Pacquiao vs Margarito bout on November 13, 2010 is hoping to join the 1-million-PPV-buys club.

Thanks for the information. I’m going to watch this in pay-per-view. Very reliable that way. No lagging, no waiting. At the comfort of my home. I just hope Margarito will give Manny a good fight.

Haha, of course not.
Floyd would not be watching this fight. Just seeing Manny Pacquiao on TV will make him cower in fright let alone fight him.
