Manny Pacquiao's 12-round decision victory against Joshua Clottey on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium generated 700,000 HBO pay-per-view buys and $35.3 million in revenue, the network announced Tuesday.
"The pay-per-view performance of Pacquiao-Clottey significantly exceeded our expectations," Mark Taffet, senior vice president for HBO PPV, said Tuesday. "It is a testament to the popularity of Pacquiao and the vitality of the sport, and it gives us great encouragement as we look toward the May 1 (Floyd) Mayweather-(Shane) Mosley pay-per-view fight."
