    1. You missed the part where I said and fights against opponents that will draw in their own crowds. Oscar and Canelo definitely fit that box. Mayweather has a draw now, but his numbers certainly are boosted by his undercards and/or opponent.

    2. Mayweather's draw is that he's undefeated, not that he's a fun, crowd pleasing fighter to watch. People care less about "vulnerable" than undefeated.

    3. Those numbers, other than the hugely hyped Oscar-Mayweather bout, are pretty much in line with what I've been arguing as Mayweather the slightly better draw, especially when you are comparing the same fights between the two. They clearly show a 60-40 split is more than fair.

    I'm not even interested with past earnings, irrelevant, the PPV buys tell the tale.

    Problem is Mayweather speed equals Pacquiao's.


    For people who dont know how to differentiate, Mayweather's quickness far surpasses Pacquiao's. His ability to see the opening and pull the trigger is far superior to Pacquiao's. That and the straight right that has always been Pacquiao's kryptonite would make the fight relativelly easy for Mayweather.

    Quickness, straight right, and far superior defense and boxing ability.
    :lol:I'm lauging at those that would fathom this matchup would even be competitive.

    MISMATCH MY FRIENDS! :deal

    it would be interesting to see how mayweather adapts. mayweathers speed is in counters and 1 maybe 2 shots at a time. pacs speed is in combos in and out 3.4 punches at a time. mayweather has great lateral movement so it would be interesting to see pac adapt to that. i don't recall mayweather ever facing a southpaw w pacs in and out speed and power. i don't recall pac ever facing someone with mayweathers defense, lateral movement and countering accuracy. it could turn out to be a great fight or a hard to score snooze fest, i find it hard to believe that one fighter could dominate the other. if mayweather wins (which if i had to bet on it i would have to go with may) it would be close, pac would win way more rounds than canelo did i'll tell you that much.

    It won't be far off, and if Pac rejects it, I think Mayweather will say; I tried. Mayweather if fully aware that he doesn't need Pac.
    If the fight still has demand enough to generate 80-100M purse, perhaps Floyd MAY decide it's enough to break PAc off 30%, but I doubt it.
    LOL, Pac is not well financially. I think by the time any offer becomes real, PAC will need the dough, badly.

    Freddie is right! May has been avoiding fast fighters for a reason! May has slowed down, and Pac is a southpaw who will throw punches for angles PBF has never seen! Manny's double straight left will trouble Floyd immensely!

    anyone who thinks Floyd would win by a wide margin are crazy! Manny is not Canelo or Ghost! who are both slow, flat footed and were out of their depth! and were easy for May to outbox! Manny on the other hand is a completley different Beast!!!

    Manny by late TKO! if things go to plan for Manny

    May by MD or SD if Manny fails to stop Floyd

    No chance of this ever being a shut out!

    Manny would do better than De La Hoya, Canelo and Cotto did against Floyd.

    this is what i hate about *****s they can't ever look at a fight objectively. they get all defensive and say mayweather would dominate etc etc, canelo won in all estimations 2-4 rounds and a lot of the rounds were closer than *****s would like to admit. pacquiao would do much better than that, it would be a close fight, not a blowout. mayweather had the advantage of being much lighter on his feet and made canelo look like a slow plodding zombie. pac and may would be 2 little guys goin at it. i would give may the edge because he is just lightyears ahead of the comp, w his defense and ring iq but i don't think he would pitch a shut out or have the power to knock manny out.

    mayweather is not on roids and does not possess ko power. at this stage of his career he does not throw the straight right as a ko punch he throws it as a deadly accurate counter but not to ko, to rack up points.

    Quit with the pipe dream. Offense sells tickets but defense wins championships the sooner you realize that the better off you will be.:deal There's a reason why all of PBF's opponents have career low punch outputs and connect % when they face him. While on the other hand PBF lands at 40% or more against them. Pac won't land on PBF that often PBF will land more control the distance and tempo of this fight. Pac will be frustrated because he can't mount an effective attack and start becoming more and more reckless lunging in leading to him getting hit with something he doesn't see and possibly koed. Anyone that knows the sport sees PBF by wide UD or TKO.:deal

    75%Floyd-25%Pac. With Floyd getting 3/4 of PPV shares.

    I think that is really fair, we have to keep in mind Pac is coming off 1-2 record ( & you can also say he had a poor performance vs JMM3). Also floyds ppv#'s have been consitantly higher then pacs.

    Hope it gets made.
