Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Paquaio - December 06, 2008
One of the biggest boxing fights in quite some time is only one week away. Early estimates have the fight selling over 1.5 milion pay per view buys. But those early estimates came the day the fight was announced - which happened days before Wall Street crashed in early September 2008.
Will this fight still do the same projected numbers? The Irish Times presents an interesting take on how the current U.S. economy will affect the outcome of the pay-per-view buys of this mega fight.

Legendary pro wrestling dirt sheet writer extraordinaire, Dave Meltzer is reporting that UFC 91 did somewhere between 800,000 plus buys. Dana White had predicted the big fight would top 2006’s UFC 66 (Liddell vs. Ortiz), which did 1,050,000 ppv buys.
While the projected record fell short of Dana White’s expectations for what was built as the biggest fight in UFC history, the number is still good given the current state of the economy in the United States.
Another factor to point out is that Brock Lesnar has huge drawing power, his pro wrestling fan base has followed him to MMA and has created more viewers of the sport for the UFC.

10 months later, Batista won back the World Heavyweight Title Sunday night (10/26) from his nemesis Chris Jericho at Cyber Sunday.
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin came back for his annual WWE appearance…
ALSO
NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal was backstage at the pay-per-view, as the event was held at the US Airways Center, the same venue where his Phoenix Suns play. Here he is pictured with the new breed of WWE entertainers, Ted DiBiase (son of “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase) and Manu (son of Wild Samoan Afa). I dunno why Shaq tucked a wrestling shirt in his pants! He’s a multi-millionaire…making a terrible fashion faux pas lol.
