    In the UK, Mayweather vs Cotto was free to watch on Boxnation. Yet the Manny/Bradley fight is on PPV at £15 which in Dollers is probably about $70.

    Is that because Manny is the UK PPV King.

    Also will these PPV buys be taken into account in the next round of negotiations.

    A certain ESB poster with all the US PPV numbers for Floyd and Pac will not like this news.

    You really think that the pound is worth four and a half times as much as the dollar?

    but it was also 4 years ago.

    I'm in Sales, and when i go for a job, they don't ask me how much i was selling 4 years ago. THey ony want to know about my recent performance and last years figures. Because your only as good as your last performance.

    And Mayweather last performance in the UK was 0 ppv sales.

    Thats because Hatton is from the UK.

    Lennox Lewis/Khan must hold the record

    Pacquiao should just come out and state his willingness to take OSDT is off the table if Floyd continues to try and push the envelope with the purse split and doesn't accept 50-50. That will end the misery one way or the other.

    He doesn't need this guy and Mayweather will forever be blamed for his paltry offer and not allowing Pacquiao, with the highest sales in three of the last four years, to take any of the PPV money for a fight expected to smash PPV records because it is Pacquiao.

    There is no way Mayweather will ever do 3 million buys or more/make 70 million dollars or more without Pacquiao's drawing power and their rivalry.

    The only reason Floyd continues to make demands to stall the fight is because they've allowed him to by letting him humor them with demand after demand instead of shooting him down and telling him firmly where to stick it.

    It needs to stop for the good of the sport, be it so that it becomes the greatest fight to never happen. Sucks to be a boxing fan with this stupid matchup still up in the air and not being able to visit forums without encountering endless arguments of PPV sales, purse splits etc..

    That'll be a disaster.

    Pac doesn't need to do any more. The main thing holding up the fight all along, was testing. He's agreed to that and it should be kept that way. It's Floyd's problem if he wants to move the goalposts and put up another roadblock. Pac should just stick with his '45/45 and winner gets 10', and leave it as that.
