Officials at HBO have released the confirmed buy rate for the Firepower PPV, which featured the Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto main event: 1.25 million.
Although sales are significantly behind the rumored 2 million and even below HBO’s rough pre-fight estimate, the show still takes its place as the highest selling boxing pay per view of 2008, selling approximately 245,000 more than the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez card in September.
