No it didn't. It been said it did 854,000. That's more than pac v bradley II which is reported to have done 770,000 all by the same source. So Floyd still did more

Pac went up against undefeated timothy bradley who was p4p top 5. Two p4p boxers still did less than a 12-1 mismatch. Just ask Bob Arum LMAO

The Hispanic community buys a TON more fights than the Black community.

Helps that May fought on a Latino Holiday against a Latino Holiday. But even then the numbers weren't good.

Face it - The fans want to see Mayweather against the very best. MM ain't the best.

*****s doing some serious mental gymnastics up in here.

Manny has shown an ability to draw 400k+ fighting a blown up punching bag in China in the middle of the goddamn day.

Floyd has ever had such a pointless fight, so we don't know how it would sell.

We do know that they both use different methods and achieve comparable results currently.

We do know that Floyd chooses to fight only on Latino holidays. We know Latinos are the only demographic around here that consistently buy fights, especially on Latin holidays and when the fighters are culturally relevant. I mean let's face it, Black people don't get together on MLK Jr Day and bro out over a barbecue buying a PPV with their family. White people don't celebrate...Columbus Day or whatever holiday pertains to them...by doing anything.

Manny sells mismatches by being a moderate draw in America and the only thing Filipinos have to be proud of in the sports world. They buy his fights. All of them. Bob knows this so he puts him in with anyone, barely promotes the fight, and puts on a **** undercard to save those fights for other opportunities since they add no buys.

Floyd sells mismatches by being a moderate draw in America, fighting opponents with ethnic fanbases who will watch a fight involving anyone of that ethnicity, stacking the undercards with interesting fights and name-value fighters, and doing it on holidays that bring out the Latino fans.

These are simple concepts. Manny is 100% indisputably a bigger draw than Floyd, because every Filipino cares about his fights. A relatively small percentage of Americans care about Floyd's fights, a slightly higher percentage of African Americans care about them, but only a relatively small percentage are rabid nationalistically-blinded sheeple who know nothing about boxing but know more about it than any other sport and are willing to throw down $75 to support their hero every time he fights.

It is what it is. Both fighters maximize their earnings with what they have. Don't buy into Floyd's BS about being some sort of big draw though. He's a smart businessman and knows how to get people to buy his events. He knows he can't do it alone. It's laughable that *****s use his supposed drawing power as a point of contention that he is better than Pacquiao/TBE/whatever.

Maidana is not Mexican! How many times are you *******s going to use that Mexican holiday excuse? The Chinese don't watch Manny, why would Mexicans watch Maidana?

LMFAO. The fight was supposed to be one-sided so you think Mexicans would waste their money on Floyd? Mexicans aren't *******s. The FACT is since neither was Mexican and it did 900K says a lot about Floyd's drawing power.

******* hypotethicals entertain the lowest intelligent life forms on this forum, never based on reason.

It still did more than pac v bradley II atsch

True. But he had Khan and Broner. Plus Maidana had the Latin fans on a Latin holiday weekend.

PAC had nobody helping that card. Bradley is an anti-draw.

How many Chinese have you polled? He's a Latino with an aggressive style. Now let's see if they'll buy Amir Khan. :yep

He's still a Spanish speaking fighter from South America. Hispanic boxing fans will be interested nonetheless.

Yeah amir khan and broner and collazo were in great ppv fights. atsch

You would have a point if there was a big match on the undercard like Garcia v Matthyse.
Click to expand...

didnt madona got tthe fight because he beat boner? so now boner is a nobody?

what's the point of paying them millions for the undercard if they cant bring the numbers?

why not just replace them with dirtcheap clowns and circus acts like bieber?

oh wait, pedjr already did.:rofl

Unless he grows some stones, Floyd's done

technocrato · May 17, 2014

Two things:

1- Floyd not only is good on the ring but he is being really intelligent selling his fights.

2- Without that intelligence, Floyd, let's face it, would not be a big draw at this point of time.
