    I do agree. Top Rank got more robberies. Their cash cow can't lose.

    Some good points but it's difficult to assess by how much those factors reduce the PPV sales. Seeing as Pac does good sales it's a fair assumption that he can go for 50-50 as with those additions maybe able to equal floyd. It's all up for debate

    I think You misunderstood my post, am saying those fights didn't go the way it should because it would have gone against the bigger more established name - in Pac v May, that's not a problem

    All valid points. Everyone knows that Pac's undercards have been crap for years while Floyd's undercards have been much more solid. That affects the PPV numbers. But the last point is kind of weak.

    Not saying it's Mayweather's problem, am saying it is unfair to say who is the bigger PPV star based on the reasons I gave.

    Don't you agree that him fighting less builds more anticipation compared with pac who fights 2/3 times a year

    What about the gap between, Hatton and Marquez. What about the gap between Mosley and Ortiz.

    When Floyd Fought Oscar -Both guys american(/mexican) - PPV = In America

    When Floyd fought hatton it was 2 undefeated fighters, when he fought Pacquiao a bit of that glamour of 2 undefeated champs fighting each other didn't exsist anymore

    Floyd also has bigger names on the undercard, when he fought ortiz he Had Morales in undercard

    When he fought Cotto on cinco de mayo he had Canelo on the undercard - who recieved 2 million dollars, mostly because of the PPV buys he attracted - and the fact that he was huge attraction to the PPV event

    Mosley wasn't some random opponent. The guy was the welterweight champion of the world. Cotto also wasn't some random opponent. People were paying for championship level fights.

    Same vs Pacquiao in the Cotto and Margarito fights. Those guys had big followings as well and were for championships.

    Manny has to prove he can be a bigger star without Arum first as Mayweather has. Your saying what Manny can do if given the same opportunity but none of that is fact. Manny will have to team up with the right people and make a lot of smart buisness decisions as Mayweather has in order to have the same success.

    • Too bad so sad man, $$ is what matters and overseas sales are dog crap
    • I'm sure there will be adjustments for this
    • this point is actually just a continuation of the last point
    • This is a point I came out with as well. The natural response is "there were 8 month gaps" between X and Y fights but the fact remains that the fights are once per calendar year and people take note of that. However, this is one of the few real points in favor of Pacquiao, we'll have to wait till the bradley numbers come in as Floyd imo has the negotiating edge overall atm

    Canelo only got 1 million, and because he is the champion, not because of all of the extra PPV buys he gets. :lol: C'mon now, nice objectivity.

    He got 2, well that's what the commentator's said

    Your telling Me that Canelo doesn't add to the PPV card? - now that is bull****

    'because he is the champion' - That doesn't mean ****, champions hardly ever get paid that much

    They already know...When I conversate on here, i'm not conversating about what YOU or what I think they'll use with the fights.

    I'm looking at it the most objective way possible...So COMMON OPPONENTS is the most objective way possible. NOBODY just "picks" a year or a fight...it's all COMMON OPPONENTS.:thumbsup
