Mayweather drew more per fight because he was a established PPV star. Pacquiao was a rising PPV star . Now he is the top earner in the sport , that's a fact. Mayweather drawing more buys on a per fight basis is due to to fact that he was a established star before Pacquiao. As far as Maywaether - Mosley goes , that was a much anticipated fight, and seen as a competitive matchup. Mosley was arond a 7-1 underdog against Pac. Pac drawing 1.3 mill is really impressive when you consider all that. I would wait until the Pac - Marquez 3 numbers come out to say anything definitive. I don't think it'll have any problem surpassing Floyd - Marquez PPV buys.
Don't let yourself fall into the ***** argument. Who cares about PPV buys let's get in the ring in fight. This whole PPV **** is just another excuse for Floyd to duck the fight. If anything this shows the potential of showtime in conjunction with CBS as a rival to HBO PPV.
It means a yellow-dog-eating-midget according to Floyd and can't speak fluent English almost equaled the most popular fighter in America's PPV sales. Go figure :hi::hi::hi:
You guys are desperate. Only because Mayweather, De la Hoya, and Tyson have had years on inactivity De-Fault = Manny's favourite word
Manny walking out on Mayweather over drug testing, claiming he couldn't do tests, then changing his mind 12 months later, after using the excuse to ruin 2 negotiations, is little to do with Mayweather
Not much of this is factual There isn't a stat in existance that says Manny is the top payed athlete in the sport. Even fighting once in 2010, Mayweather still made more than Pacquiao from boxing What's more, the Pacquiao figures actually relate to 2 days sales (CBS sells PPVS for 48 hours) and Mayweathers relate to one nights sales. Mayweather- Pacquiao, there's no argument whatsoever to even say it's close Floyd sold 700K Hatton PPVS in England alone............That's close to Pacquiao's global total
To be fair Steve Forbes looked pretty awesome against a shot De la Hoya Oscar was lighter in ring against Pacquiao than Castillo was against Mayweather!? Truth is, we have no idea how Manny would have done against the Oscar Mayweather fought As in a guy who was 170 pounds As Roach was unwilling to let hin
Omg . This Ceej1979 loser just spent half a day defending his man crush and attacking Pacs PPV numbers , this is really pathetic. He clearly has some inferiority complex and also clearly has no life.
What your saying is more people wanted to watch the boring Mayweather box Mosely, than the supposed "WAR" with Manny don't be stupid.
Manny agrees to almost everything in the media Problem is when he gets in a negotiation room Manny's record of agreeing to full random testing, when it matters at the minute is 0-2
Your point is idiotic. If it wasn't Floyd, then why didn't these people bother buying the Pacquiao/Hatton PPV in the UK? If it's not Floyd then why did De la Hoya lose over 50% of his audience when he fought Pacquiao? End of argument
Pacquiao is listed as the 5th or 6th biggest earner in all sports in Forbes magazine. Floyd isn't even in the top 10. There's plenty of reason t osay it's close. If Floyd is such a bigger earner, then he wouldn't have only done 100k more against a common opponent who was seen as a much more competitive fight at the time. Like I said, wait for the Pac - Marquez III numbers. I'd put money down that they'lll beat Floyd - Marquez.
