Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn  Per @GoldenBoyBoxing source, #CaneloKhan did slightly less than 600k HBO PPV buys, excellent for a fight most viewed as a mismatch

Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn  To put the #CaneloKhan nearly 600k PPV buys in perspective it did 100s of thousands more buys than both Floyd & Manny's last fight

AMIR KHAN vs CANELO ALVAREZ sells 600k ppv buys

Middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez's spectacular one-punch, sixth-round knockout win over Amir Khan on Saturday night drew "around" 600,000 pay-per-view buys, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

De La Hoya's figure comes after consultation with HBO PPV, which produced and distributed the fight -- it was the main event of the first boxing card to take place at the new $375 million T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The numbers are far from final. They are based largely on specific numbers De La Hoya and HBO have received from the satellite services, which were then compared historically with similar fights to estimate figures from cable systems around the country. Those systems have yet to report solid numbers.

"It looks like it will be around 600,000 buys," De La Hoya said. "We're extremely happy about it. If you think about it, Canelo has had the top two pay-per-views of the last four major pay-per-views."
