High pay-per-view ratings for LV fight

Thursday, Sept. 19, 2002 | 10:02 a.m.

Oscar De La Hoya's knockout of Fernando Vargas did some heavyweight numbers for a pay-per-view fight.

HBO said Thursday that last weekend's fight between 154-pounders generated 900,000 buys and revenue of $45.6 million, making it the second biggest non-heavyweight pay-per-view event ever behind De La Hoya's 1999 fight with Felix Trinidad.
