    1 - Mayweather vs Canelo at 154
    2 - Mayweather vs Martinez at 160
    3 - Mayweather vs Pac at 147 (like it or not this fight would still sell more then most all other fights, on brand names alone)

    Everyone knows Mexicans and Chicanos are the biggest boxing PPV consumers. There's a reason why Mayweather copied DLH and chose Cinco de Mayo and Mex Independence day as his fight dates, with Mexicans as opponents and or in the undercard.

    Mayweather-Canelo

    It would still be Pac vs Mayweather. Promoters promote to the average casual fan, not us hardcore fans. Most people don't know Pac lost. People don't follow losses, especially to no names like Marquez.

    Same reason DLH could still break PPV records with Mayweather even after his losses to Trinidad, Mosley, Hopkins, people don't care.

    Pac has the biggest fan base, and most of his appeal is that he is the underdog.

    Pac s done man. Everyone who buys PPVs saw him get KTFO. And those who didn't saw Pacquiao planking on FB for months after the fight.

    Lol funny, except Pac isn't my favorite fighter, and you really should get out of your small boxing circles. Most people who buy the fights don't who is fighting who, their records, or how to score a fight. Most of the people who were initially following Pac were Filipino and just thought it was cool to see someone like them fighting, but hardly any of them knew his record or back story. They were ready to just catch the next fight.

    Lol, that's true, but I still think that was mainly for hardcore fans. I think if Pac looks descent in the Rios fight he will be back in the game.

    Delahoya went from an embarrassing KO from Hopkins to massacring Mayorga and getting paid handsomely with Mayweather. I mean people were calling out Delahoya for faking the body shot, not that I believed it, but I definitely remember the boxing forum I was on at that time lighting up. It took two years and people just forgot. Casual boxing fans really just don't follow that closely.

    What do you mean he is done that is the shittest statement Ive heard for a long time.
    Pac beat Bradley in 95% of fans eyes and he was dominating Marquez before the KO.

    Lets not be ****ing stupid here. He is still better in most peoples opinions than any of the Champs at 135 or 140 were he could make weight.

    He IMO is from done and in the next fight you will see what Im talking about.
     
  14. Everybody knows PAC got knocked out, grandmas and little kids know nanny was knocked out, to make it worse he also lost to Bradley, if Bradley beats Marquez, Mayweather vs Bradley is the fight, both undefeated as well. Mayweather dodged PAC long enough it doesn't matter.

    Easy there. He's done as in I doubt he'll pull over a million buys again. What were the "OFFICIAL" numbers against Bradley?

    Against Mayweather he may generate over a million, but I can't see it being anything extraordinary like the Floyd-Oscar fight anymore. In fact, most people were rooting for Marquez in the 4th fight.

    A 5th fight with Marquez? I don't see the demand from the casuals. They are content that Marquez won the series with the KO and the clear robbery in the third fight. Very little casuals sympathized with Pacquiao when he got the L against Bradley, likely for that reason.
