Pacquiao is biggest draw

I’m not the only one who’s a boxing fan thanks to Pacman!

Manny Pacquiao is not simply the best boxer in the world. He is also the sport’s biggest box office attraction. Pacquiao’s defeat of Antonio Margarito for a vacant junior middleweight title on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium generated at least 1.15 million buys and $64 million in domestic revenue, according to figures announced by HBO Sports.

Those numbers were expected to increase once all the figures are counted, but Pacquiao already is assured of his third straight year with at least one fight breaking the 1 million mark.
