Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. is on course to crack the top ten all-time Pay Per Views for sales in the United States, WBN understands.
The November 28 exhibition initially had hopes of landing over the magic million sales mark. Initial projections quickly saw that move to 1.2m.
Fast forward just a few days, and Tyson vs. Jones is now eyeing a lucrative spot on the highest-selling list.
To do this, the return of former heavyweight king Mike Tyson would have to overhaul 1.5m buys. Something that is a distinct possibility.
Anything above the Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto encounter of May 2012 would be enough to secure a place.
