Boxing needs Floyd Mayweather.

I guess Steward forgot about Pac going after Diaz, instead of Raheem or Freitas, going after Cotto instead of Mosley or Floyd, going after Clottey instead of Mayweather, and after Margarito and Marquez instead of Floyd and Martinez?

Just because he says something on an HBO telecast for an HBO fighter, doesn't make it so.

 

Your missing the point entirely .

Neither Floyd nor Manny were able to create any PPV sales until they fought Oscar . If Oscar was in his prime today he would still be the cash cow.

Oscar still has a massive impact on Floyds PPV numbers as he knows how to market the fight. Floyd wouldnt be anywhere near the name he is without Golden boy.

 

The poll speaks :deal

More people watch Pacquiao than any other fighter of this era.
im not talking PPV i am talking people worldwide.
Jmm IV could do 2 million with 5 months to promote.

 

are you really gonna compare ppv buy rates from the 1990s when the advertisment was " call your local cable provider and see if this is being offered in your area" most people had cable , hardly anyone had dishes back in the 1990s.....the simple fact you have the ability to show it to about 500 million more people in the last few years , kinda makes a difference.... atsch
i paid 70 bucks for mayweather vs cotto in HD...the 18 oscar DLH fights you mentioned were 20 bucks. if mayweather fought in any other era such as the roy jones era, he would be a regular HBO fighter and if he were lucky tyson or holyfield would let him be on the undercard

 

So 1 million filipinos will have 5 months to make 60 bucks to actually buy the ppv?

No, it does not.

 

I think almost 100 million people there.
If u add all of asia when Pac fights could be more than 75 mill watching.

 

Your too right it does Magic.And even though I firmly believe Manny should've got the nod last week,you wait and see how many idiots keep going on about Floyd trying to get out after 12 days when he makes his first announcement for his plans.I actually think Manny is best going after Marquez because him n Floyd are poles apart now.Despite their ages,I think Floyd has far more left in the tank than Manny,and it's better they just give up on a fight.
Floyd should go after Canelo and maybe Martinez,although I have a horrible feeling that if negotiations go wrong,we could get a rushed Cotto rematch.
Is it realistic to think Floyd could call out Chavez Jnr? What excuse would Bob have for not letting his big middleweight fight his (Arum's) nemesis?
I know it's unlikely,but I'd love to see it.

 

Boxing needs a champion who does not avoid the best.

 

The sport bout to flatline like a chick wit no ass.

 

The fact that people buy Floyd's $70 ppvs in a worse economy speaks volumes about his draw power .....stop speaking in "ifs".... Fact remains mayweather is a bigger ppv draw than Oscar was and Oscar never got close to touching the ppv record until he fought mayweather

 

This Floyd is arguably more exciting then ever. Losing a step in the ring as allowed fighters to actually touch him and he is arguably more hungry then ever for some reason.
