Floyd/Mosley 1.4mil Pacquiao/Mosley 1.3mil Not to mention Pacquiao/Mosley had a 3/4x larger possible audience. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=6645782 How you *******s can deny facts is beyond me. Floyd outsells every common opponent. This content is protected
ok. so floyd is the bigger draw. but pac has the bigger balls. pac has the bigger legacy pac wants the fight. floyd doesnt. funny thing is, i think floyd beats pac. but he clearly isnt so sure
Not tring to sound bias, but I think Shane was a better draw comming off the Tony win, than when he fought Paq. I'm supprised they did 1.3 million for that fight. I like to watch Paq fight, but this fight didn't interest me. It doesn't change the numbers, but when I watch Floyd fight, I watch in the hopes he gets Knocked out. I will say this about Floyd ,he has my respect for fighting Ortiz. Paq. needs to step up and fight a fighter comming off a good win. His last few fights are getting old to me.
Mosley was a champion when Mayweather fought him and officially #1 at welterweight coming off a big win over Margarito. Mosley was coming off a loss to Mayweather and a draw against Mora when he fought Pacquiao yet still pulled off $1.3 million. Don't be so simple minded and foolish with your judgment. Look at the situation surrounding these fighters before posting those numbers.
PAC/Mosley was a success and I honestly don't blame PAC or Mosley for that. As much as I hate arum, he is good at what he does in fact him and king are the best. He can sell an Eskimo ice. THAT IS WHY THAT FIGHT WAS A SUCCESS BECAUSE BOB BRILLIANTLY DID HIS JOB! NO OTHER REASON 1.4>1.3 The same way you can talk about the fact that Shane wasn't given a chance you can talk about how hbo is a smaller network and it was only a one day ppv vs two. They are both cash cows but pbf is the bull. It don't matter what excuse you use or how you try to justify it....1.4>1.3
Sorry.....Fact is Floyd vs Shane was sold and perceived as a competitive fight which the odds fully reflected. PAC vs Shane was a fight where the odds indicated Shane not having s chance in pulling off the upset. Floyd vs Shane doing only 100K more than PAC vs Shane is not anything to over excited about.
Audience HBO 26million Shotime 115million (CBS audience) 4x+ as much exposure and he can't even equal Floyd.
Floyd-Mosley had a much bigger marketing budget and a better (super) fight on paper. Not much to brag about, they are about even.
