Floyd Mayweather’s Sept.
12 bout with Andre Berto at
the MGM Grand Garden
sold roughly 400,000 pay-
per-view units, a source
told Yahoo Sports. That
number, the source said,
includes about 145,000
sales from DirecTV, which is
almost always the first dis-
tributor to report a figure.
Another source close to
the promotion of the fight
said the figure was higher
and estimated it between
500,000 and 550,000.
In any event, the result will
be the lowest figure since
Mayweather sold 325,000
while fighting Carlos Bal-
domir on HBO Pay-Per-
View in 2006.
