The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

I see all these We hate Floyd Posts and We Love Manny Posts, Why is Manny considered second tier as far as PPV goes. Man his last one didn't even do 350K. Manny is obviously more popular and love by more fans.

So why doesn't Manny demand the same amount of Money as Floyd..

 

Because he's on the come back trail.

 

Floyd never lost and he made 800 000 buys with the ghost fight just imagine if he loses

 

800K is pretty good being that the Ghost offers nothing as far as marketing is concerned. But not losing isn't the only thing Andre Ward has never lost and he can't sell out a Wisconsin Barn

 

No loss that happens when a pro is 37 or older greatly hurts their legacy. I know this is a "what have you done for me lately" sport, but c'mon.

 

Correction, his last fight name 470k. Keep in mind that Pac vs Rios was marketed as Pac's come back fight; his tune up. 470K for his tune up after his lost to Marquez is good. Pac usually draw the attention (aside from Cotto) on his own. May fought boxers with a healthy fan base, except for Ortiz, not to mention good under cards for the event.

We can't really tell how much Pac or May really make. Pac is not vocal with how much he makes compared to May, who's always boasting how much money he has. For all we know, Pac is just being humble and May, well, he just being him.

hahaha true that!

 

I dont think it's enhanced if he takes a comprehensive loss. it's only enhanced if he puts up a valiant effort in a loss, like tommy hearns against marvin hagler. even though hearns lost that fight, his legacy was enhanced considerably by fight's end. floyd would have to lose a war against manny for the stock of his legacy to rise. a comprehensive, one sided loss would do nothing for his legacy as far as im concerned.

 

Very nice post!!! For the people saying manny can't compete with floyd number wise!!!

 

Agreed. That's why I specifically mentioned competitive fight.

 

Thing is, like ive said many times before, after DLH he hasnt fought the best all the time. Who wants to see pac vs margarito??? I didnt. how about Mosley after he lost to Mayweather and a draw with Mora??? Not many. thats the reason why is buys havent been as much.

Plus Mayweather has all the black community and lots of spanish people backing him, and hes made good matchups time in and time out. Pac fighting cupcakes will not sell, plus TR PPV cards suck!!!

 

Right against the very best genius ! Let me guess your impressed by a padded record .atsch

 

Good match ups hahaha like who dude who has floyd fought after dlh besides shane ortiz was a good match up.....?

 

And manny still did a million buys with those "cupcakes" as you say people just pay to see floyd loose that's why he does a million every time

 

pacquaios speed and power would of been to much he would of kept comeing even cotto with more power couldn't fend him of but mayweather knew this so ducked thumbs up to mayweather he dogged a big bullet :good
