Everytime Floyd fights, it has DRAMA. Heck he would even go as far as calling his own dad a faggot if it means extra buys lol. People watched Floyd JMM to measure how he would perform against Pac because that's a common opponent.

i would say, hardly comparable. different cirscumstances, different times. a lot has happened since then. i would say floyd-ortiz. should be a good indicator both star's current status.

This whole PPV numbers thing is BS. I love both guys and wish them the best. I hoped PBF V ortiz did 1.5 mill and Pac does 2 mill against JMM. the better the numbers for both fighters the better for boxing. But as a fan of both guys I must day that PBF is the king at the box office, Pac is gaining ground and given this is his third fight against JMM should bury PBF numbers against Ortiz. Since there is a HUGE back story with JMM Pac should easily do 1.3 mill-1.5mill. However, you really cannot compare with PBF fight with JMM because of the history.

If this who PPV thing is about the upper-hand in negotiations(which of course it is), just fight under the same contract that was put in place when the fight fell apart the first time.

Cain vs dos is pretty big in the mma world. This can for sure hurt pac v mar3 ppv ratings. Kind of an ass thing dana did
