Stupidest statement ever. How is he a bigger draw? He didnt draw more than Floyd against Hatton or DLH. Use your head young man.
Pac did far less then Floyd against common opponents. Only now since he's fighting a more well known fighter then Marquez, Cotto who has legions of PR fans in the USA, he is the bigger draw. Again. Wow.
He fights the CONSENSUS pound for pound number 2 fighter in the world after an 18 month layoff and its considered cherry-picking? JMM could have demanded the fight be at 140 pounds, but he didnt.
Pac and Cotto wont come close to 1 mil. Cotto didnt even do 500,000 against Margarito, and only did 400,000 against Mosley. The only time Pac came close to 1.0 is against DLH. Hell De La Hoya would get a million to watch him masturbate. PAc and Cotto have never been that type of sell.
144 is still not a fair catchweight for a fighter whose maximum fighting weight (official) so far is 135. Floyd may not be quite as big as Mosley and especially Margarito but he is certainly as big as other natural welters like Berto and quite possibly Cotto. (Marquez was at 140 on fight night, which is pretty average for a lightweight)
Thats irrelevant,by that logic if Calderon was the number two pound for pound he would be a legitimate opponent for fraud.
