    I agree. If PBF/JMM does better numbers than Pac/JMM did the is NO WAY Arum can spin that. None. It would mean PBF did better numbers with 3 common opponents. There is no way to spin that at all.

    The thought process of Pac fans is unbelieveable...You say that Jones Ruiz did big numbers because it was a circus, but Pac Oscar didnt do as well as floyd oscar because it was a circus???

    WRONG...Jones Ruiz did bigger numbers then Jones Tito for two reasons.

    1-At the time of the fight many felt that Jones was pushing to be in the top three all time list, Jones was the greatest fighter on the planet and the best fighters since Leonard.

    2-Jones and tito were both shot by that time, and had both lost several fights.

    sometime timing is everything, if a fight between Jones and Tito would have happened instead of hopkins Tito it would have done massive PPV numbers in the 1.5 to 2 million range.:good

    When Floyd fought Hoya, Oscar was still looked at as a top fighter. When Manny fought him, everyone kinda knew it was over for him. Then there was the aura of a circus around the Pac/Hoya fight. People just took the World Awaits more serious. The Hatton fight is hard to argue, you got a point on that one.

    Doesn't matter if it does better than Pac-JMM because Pac has gotten much more exposure since then.

    And?? PBF will have the 3 fights with common opponents that will verify that he's indeed the bigger draw end of discussion.:deal If you can't use common PPV opponents as the measuring stick then what can you use? Fanboy logic?? Like yours and many others here.:deal

    floyd is the draw period his the guy thats going to sell the fight because like his dad he love chatting bull****, bull**** that helps sell the fight. i think 50-50 split is fair but would blame floyd asking for 60% but bob arum wanting upto 30% is a ****ing joke

    they should do this like real men and go 45/45 where the the winner gets the extra 10.....this would make it a much more intriguing fight and could possibly be the biggest fight ever

    And Pac beat Hatton & ODLH more impressively than PBF. If you cant use common opponents to say who is the better fighter than what can we use? fanboy logic?

    PBF-Castillo wasnt even PPV. If Castillo was still a LW champ now and Pac faced him, id guarantee it would do more numbers. Fact is, Pac was pre-DLH when he fought JMM, and PBF is post Hatton/DLH when he fights JMM.

    What does how the way you won have to do with anything? That's more ******* logic right there.:lol: At the end of the day the numbers don't lie you can spin it all you want but PBf is the bigger draw and he has the numbers with shared opponents to prove it..deal with it.:hi:
