PBF-JMM won't come close to Pac-Hatton in PPV sales. How will Floyd explain that?

    I wasn't that interested in Pac-Hat tbh, yeah I was interested, but it's not exactly fight of the decade material.

    Mayweather Pac on the other hand.

    You never know til it happens but the obvious reason would be clash of styles... the hardcore fans will watch both but the casual fan prefers the `war` type fights which is (what should have been) Hatton-Pac + Marquez is less known on a worldwide & casual fan basis than Floyd, Hatton & Pacman, also the following those 2 have from their countrymen is awesome, America & Mexico are used to producing the GFOAT.

    Well there are two fighters in the ring and both can have an effect on PPV buys.So some might compare Pac-Hatton, to floyd vs. Hatton, or floyd vs. delahoya to pac vs. delahoya and in both cases floyd's was higher according to sources I've read. If true, one can debate the reasons for this, but again some might argue that Pac-JMM(about 400,000 for pt. II if I recall correctly) should be compared to Floyd-JMM when it occurs.

    Of course even then there are problems as attitudes towards certain fighters can wax and wane over time(manny is IMO more popular now than he was when he last faced JMM) ,&that can play a role in PPV numbers but the way I mentioned could be a relatively closer means of comparison.

    :rofl:rofl:rofl You want to compare the performances but not the numbers? Floyd/Oscar outdid Oscar/Pac..Floyd /Hatton out did Hatton/Pac...All Floyd needs to do is beat the 450,ooo ppv buys that Pac/Marquez did...You are embarissing yourself.

    JMM isn't as popular as Hatton.

    Basically. It took Hatton and Pac to make those #s or Pac would of made those figures with Diaz.
