    Agreed.

    His latest one has 2 world title fights on the undercard.

    Mike Jones and Rigondeux, great fighters.

    plus Jorge Arce. I think this is my favourite undercard in years.

    Also his Cotto Margo one had rios mitchell which was great. and also had Mike Jones on too.

    This just proves that Floyd and GBP should be running the show since they put on the more effective PPV cards with Floyd than Arum does with Pac.

    Pac needs to jump ship and fight Floyd under GBP right away.

    This June show has 3 title fights in one night. Competition is healthy. They are both trying to out do each other.

    If GBP ran the show you'd notice the standard go down hill

    Yes I am. The info I put in front of you is still valid. It doesn't change that Floyd did 1,500,000 buys and $94,000,000 in revenue, with $50,000,000 as a payday compared to Manny doing 1,250,000 buys, and $71,000,000 in revenue, and $25,000,000 as a payday.

    None of that changes just because I say it.

    So again, what you said was all subjective.

    Floyd fought Oscar and Hatton within a 7 month period.

    Floyd fought Marquez and Mosley within a 8 month period.

    Floyd fougth Ortiz and Cotto within a 8 month period.

    Also doesn't change the fact that Floyd averages 1,705,000 PPV buys where as

    Pac averages 1,113,000 PPV buys among common opponents.

    I try to be consistent with *******s like yourself. I don't even try to argue the numbers since Oscar anymore and I use something that ISN'T SUBJECTIVE, like the numbers, and you *******s still trying to put blame on the poster rather than actually look at the info.:patsch

    In my opinion your not neutral. I have seen many fans on this website say your not neutral, so your a *******...but your opinion still counts..you just ignore the information to try and strengthen your opinion which is why you fail all the time.:deal:bbb

    I only look at recent ppv numbers as IMO that's all that matters.

    I'll only go back about 3 fights max cos fighters popularities go up and down.

    For example not many casuals new who manny was when he fought oscar.

    SO personaly i find numbers further than a couple of years old irrelevant myself.

    But i appreciate the effort you made putting that together. You should email that to Goldenboy or something

    None of that his Mayweather's problem though. Thats like saying its unfair for Manny to be rated as one of the top P4P guys because he is so much faster and has so much more stamina, to go with power he shouldn't have at this weight then majority of his comp. That its an unfair advantage and if he was the same speed, same stamina, same power as the average man then he wouldn't be one of the top P4P guys.

    Mayweather put himself in this position so all the credit goes to him. He made the right choice leaving Arum. He made some smart buisness decisions in teaming up with certain people to allow him to capitalize his earnings every way possible. Took a lot of a heat for a couple yrs doing these things, but as usual he came out on top.

    Even if you look at the most recent OFFICIAL numbers, Floyd is still the top seller with Mosley, Cotto, Ortiz than Pac is with Mosley, Margarito and Clottey.

    But he hasn't and doesn't. When he does do it and generates those buys then it can be used in negociation or in debate. Say he could do it but yet his promoter won't do it doesn't mean anything.

    yes i agree. I'm happy with 55/45 to floyd.

    I think it's 50/50 because regardless of ppv sales this is 2 A-sides fighting each other. And everyone who buys this fight are paying to watch Pac vs May.

    As apposed to recent fights of Pac/May vs "insert random opponent"

    But based on numbers 55/45 is fair imo.
