    I wish it was true but I doubt it. I think it will end up around 700-800k so that Money May can claim he is the real draw again...

    Unfortunately :(

    Man, I aint arguing Pacquiao isn't a draw, but Floyd's averaged 1.4 million PPVs since 2006. Like every fight. Any opponent.

    He is the draw in boxing. Pacquiao, in the right fight, is a draw. Not EVERY fight

    Arums PPVs usually are projected to do 400k or so more than they actually do

    no way margo can make more than clottey did, though margo is more popular than clottey pre-mosley, the difference isn't that much - they are both not very popular. Add to the equation margo's inactivity.

    I'd wait for the official result.

    Man, it's just plain fact.

    You can criticize Floyd for a lot of things. Selling a fight aint one of them!

    margo has the mexican/mexican-american thing going for him, as clottey had basically nothing...so it shouldl do more than the clottey fight, imo

    I said the same thing. But the inactivity and some factions of mexican disowned/boycotted him (plaster boy) is a setback and more than enough to equate the popularity compare to Joshua Clottey.

    It's a close call in popularity, the swing should'nt exceed 50k ppv. Hence, my bet is around 650k to 750k (granted clottey made 700k).
