    what PBF earned in oscar ad ricky fight is significantly higher than the entire career purse of pacquiao..

    if people consider pacquiao the biggest draw, why is PBF the highest paid (15M in the jmm fight) and why he sells more PPV buys...

    does people really want to watch floyd than pac? or people just want to see PBF lose?

    PBF DLH was a huge fight because DLH was still seen as a top contender. Plus Goldenboy meant a bigger purse.
    Hatton was undefeated hence the interest.

    Pac is now 10 times bigger draw than PBF!!!

    Its hard to say whos the biggest draw. With the anticaption of Mayweathers return, Mayweather-Marquez will get alot of buys, I dont know if it'll get 850k but at least 700k. Mayweather hasnt fought in 2 years though, so I might have to lean towards Pacquiao.

    pac is by far the biggest draw. just look at the hatton fight from both opponents pac fight is exspected to do way more than floyds with hatton. also the only huge money floyd ever made was against hatton and delahoya bc of them not him.

    Mayweather can't draw flies to **** on his own . This Marquez fight will prove it . Manny has twice the following MW has the rap community isn't as big as the world is it ? No I don't think so !

    Good points. Hatton was undefeated against PBF. And DLH was still seen as somewhat of a top contender. Plus, the economy wasn't as bad.

    I think Pacman is the slightly bigger draw today. His wins over Hatton and DLH really got him known.

    when Pac was going into the Hatton fight, PBF was still a bigger draw than Pac.

    But right now? I think that amazing win put Pac over the top

    Maybe each is taking another fight to find out who is the market king. I'm sure the suits are doing the marketing studies already.
