While the exact numbers haven't been made official yet, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer says he's heard Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s comeback fight against Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday night topped 1 million pay-per-view buys.
“I’m hearing through the roof. I don’t want to announce anything. When I announce it, I want to be able to fully stand behind it," Schaefer told The Ring of the rumored numbers. "It’s big, very big. A lot of people didn’t believe us. Maybe I’ve gained a little credibility with my predictions.
“Most importantly, I hope the world realizes when we release these numbers that Floyd Mayweather, love him or hate him, is today, without any question, no ifs, ands or buts, the No. 1 pay-per-view star in the world. No question about it.”
