2 million buys for Cotto-Pacquiao?

Rey Colón of the ´El Vocero´ of Puerto Rico reported that the welterweight mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto generated approximately 2 million pay-per-view buys generating at least $120 million. No word on what Pacquiao´s cut will be but Cotto was mentioned to be making at least $10 million minimum.
This would be really surprising if true. Especially since Arum said around 1.5 mill earlier

i’d be great if it made 2mill buys for boxing, but i’d rather wait for the official announcement. i am expecting approx 1.4

its a shame we had so many viewers and such a pathetic undercard

bad for pbf-pacman?

I find myself hoping the PPV count is lower, because if Arum has the leverage in negotiations I feel he isn’t gonna make too many concessions to Floyd (who of course isn’t gonna spring for less than 50-50).
