Here's a fact: Floyd Mayweather sold fewer PPVs in his own country against P4P #2 Mexican Marquez than Pacquiao did against a Mexican opponent who was nowhere near the top 10 and was coming off of a disgraceful banning from the sport. FACTS.
I remember many Pac detractors were saying that it wouldn't top 1 million. Some were saying 900,000. I said just over a million. Now there are a few of his fans not all, that are more than ready to give Floyd Jr. another way out of not making this fight. 50% of something is more than fair, when compared to 50% of nothing. First things first did Floyd Jr. even say he's interested in fighting Pacquiao in the near future? I haven't read anything...:think
The problem with HBO PPV numbers is that it doesn't take into account the global contribution that, like it or not, piles on to that final revenue count. Just for the Pac Margo fight alone Ive seen the fight in 5 different telecasts in 5 different languages. For example, there's no measure that I'm aware of that takes into account how the Asian continent which homes half the world's population pile on to that revenue stream either directly or indirectly. FYI Pac does pretty well in Asia. As it is the difference between Pac/Margo and Floyd/Shane is negligible and isn't even a valid point of comparison. If you wanna compare competing PPV's you shoulld compare Floyd/JMM....those two events are more similar in foe and circumstance. Say for instance Pac fought Shane instead of Floyd around that time when Shane just had ko'd the so called terminator in Margo...Pac would have likely done the same numbers if not more. 50/50 is fair, any deviation from that is pricing oneself out. And it's pretty much a blatant duck if they're immovable in this issue the same way its a blatant duck if floyd is immovable on the drug testing issue.
spud is an obvious troll as are his other alts -- no one seriously believes the **** he writes, I would hope. Most certainly not himself.
Lower PPV's I agree , but Manny has much higher gate receipts than PBF. He had over 70 million generated in his last fight, where as Floyd did just over 20 Mill. Please dont say its because of the stadium , as if Floyd could sell out a stadium , he would book it , but he cannot. 50/50 is the right deal , or Floyd gets the PPV's and Manny gets the Gate, both numbers would be similar. peace.
Just catchin' up on lost time. Havn't posted here in a couple a years. I remember you though, and Divac....whatever happened to the resident historians??? KG...
It is the real world and the more tangible proof goes to Floyd but for the sake of boxing which IMO is shitty 50/50. I'm tired of both Floyd and Manny bullshitting. Pacquiao is a cherry picker and so is Floyd . Anyone sticking up for either fighter are ***s on a cum diet. Aren't you guys sick of this ****? Really. Pacquiao vs Shane. Floyd self destructing. I don't see how people can sit here and play ***** vs *******. Both guys need to get mobbed IMO.
