Some more news from HBO. The Mayweather-Hatton bout generated 850,000 pay-per-view buys and $47 million in PPV revenue. That helped make 2007 HBO's best year in Pay-Per-View history -- 4.8 million buys and more than $255 million in revenue across eight boxing events. The previous high for HBO PPV in boxing was in 1999 with four million buys and $200 million in revenue. The top seller of 2007, was, of course, the Oscar De la Hoya-Mayweather fight, which shattered all records. That drew 2.4 million buys and $134 million in revenue. -- CASSIDY
