Uyyyy...Floyd gets the ego bump. He'll interpret this entirely in his favor, as if him facing an all-time great had nothing to do with it.

Interesting. I thought those Mayweather and Pacquiao fights would have a bigger advantage.

UFC is slowly taking over.

It is amazing how over Mayweather is... not too long ago he couldn't sell out a fight in his hometown vs N'dou.

Boxing really top heavy, UFC takes the rest. Not surprising.

The article talks about WWE.

The list includes WWE events, they just didn't make the top 10.

I think these are just North American buys, if you measure worldwide Wrestlemania would probably be in the top 10, it does around 1 million buys worldwide

just looked it up, WrestleMania did 885,000 buys worldwide in 2010, and 960,000 buys in 2009.
