    Pac.

    He is the exciting of the two.

    Another question is: Why should the P4P no. 1 in the world ever get less than 50% to meet someone?

    He will outscore him because he had more PPVs. All you can do in a situation like that is compare opponents and how much they made. Like Diaz/Pac with Mayweather/Baldomir.

    People who thought they were going to get two guys going toe to toe are the newbies who know nothing about styles in boxing. People should have known by then that Mayweather is a mover/defensive fighter, he might have been more aggressive early in his career but at the stage where he's fighting far bigger guys like DLH in that case, standing toe to toe was going to be foolish. He might have ended as Cotto who publicly admitted "I won't clinch because I'm a warrior" and then get insults like "Owned" for fighting stupid in hope of making fans and impressing a few dumb****s.

    Pacquiao didn't really go toe to toe with DLH either considering the size difference too, he used movement and defense.

    That don't make sense. Just cause Mayweather hasn't fought in over a year don't mean Pacquiao is the draw. Mayweather ppv numbers beats Pacquiao ppv numbers by facing the same fighters of De la hoya and Hatton. I know many will say De la hoya vs Mayweather wasn't a circles mismatch that people expect like de la hoya vs Pacquiao but many pick Mayweather to beat Hatton while people don't know who to pick of Hatton Vs Pacquiao but yet Mayweather vs Hatton ppv numbers did way better then Pacquiao vs Hatton ppv number. But this right here proofs Mayweather ppv numbers is better then Pacquiao. Mayweather vs Baldimor was easily a mismatch but did 325k on ppv buys while Pacquiao vs Diaz was easily a mismatch only did 250k on ppv buys. I know many will say "what about Pacquiao vs Morales ppv numbers, Barrera rematch ppv numbers, Pacquiao vs Marquez rematch ppv numbers" yea yea well i don't count them cause Marquez, Morales, Barrera are a way much bigger names and better fighters then Gatti and Judah. If Mayweather would have fought Mosley back in late 06 instesd of Baldimor, that ppv buy rate would do way better Then Pac vs either Marquez, Morales, Barrera ppv numbers.

    they are about the same,you would be surprised how many people pay to see Floyd get beaten but still it hasn't happened.But their biggest numbers has been when they fight the Mexican fighters,thats the draw here.

    if you count those people who wants to see him lose. He'll win this by a landslide. So far, those who voted here probably voted for their more preferred boxer.

    The truth will be revealed during the Marquez fight. These guys are confused, they're all thinking Hoya's and Hatton's fans were there for Floyd. We will see in the Marquez fight what Floyd can actually bring in.

    :nut I love that logic. Hatton never had a successful pay per view before he fought Floyd, and De La Hoya vs Tito when Tito was considered the best in the world and had a massive following from Puerto Rico could do nearly as much as Floyd vs DLH, but Floyd Mayweather had nothing to do with it.
