Bob Arum: "Mayweather Jr. WON'T Get More Than Pacqiuao"

ppv numbers are ppv numbers, but a fighter isnt a bigger draw because he has bigger ppv numbers over common opponents. Was Botha a bigger draw than Holyfield, he drew bigger numbers against Tyson?

Fact is, DLH marketability has significantly dropped by the time he got to Pac, the fight itself was protested as it was seen as a circus match...

Just like fight results are fight results, but a fighter isnt neccesarily a better fighter just because he has better fight results over a common opponent.

 

So you say that Floyd is pricing himself out by not giving Pac a 50/50 split when Arum says the fight is going to be 65/35 or 70/30 for pac, and Roach is saying that pac has to have the bigger share??? How does that work??? Its not like Pac is willing to take 50/50...And you have the balls to say something like Joyboys are so obessed...Do you have a mirror???:admin

 

So you agree Ruiz is a bigger draw than Tito and Botha is a bigger draw than Holyfield? After all, numbers dont lie :rofl

Same exact logic you are using to claim PBF being the bigger draw :deal

 

nothing as I don't see the "outshining" part will happen. It might even be close.

 

:?
You've yet to answer my question..According to you, how are PPV #'s measured???

 

**** does tito botha tyson & williams have to do with anything?

**** you mean "joyboy" if pac #'s were higher than floyd's i would say pac deserved the higher share.... there not tho

 

How about just the level of excitement of each fighter!

Who is more exciting to watch?

 

Damn i hate when promoter's start talking **** like this.

 

Winner should get the bigger share or it should be 50/50 between 2 proven elites..... End of.

I will not & point blank refuse to respect or side with any other argument.

Its time these pieces of horse **** stopped using money as an excuse to spoil things for the fans, its being going on FAR too long & its a side of boxing that makes me boil with rage bordering on throwing up.

My top sentence is the only solution to this utter pish.

 

Totally different circumstances.

You have to keep in mind that JMM/Pac 2 took place pre-DLH and Hatton and still did more PPV numbers than any of Floyd's fights not including the above mentioned fighters.

It is safe to say that JMM is a more bankable boxer then he was then and therefore noone should be surprised when JMM/PBF does better than PAC/JMM, but this again is no indication that FLoyd is the bigger draw!:deal

 

^ I agree

 

I did answer your question, ppv #'s are measured by ppv #'s. But how does having bigger ppv #'s prove you are a bigger draw? Botha drew more than Holyfield against Tyson, was he a bigger draw? NO.

 

No I say your a dumbass because of the timing...Jones fought Ruiz in 2003 when he was really undefeated p4p king and many were thinking an atg top 5. when he fought tito it was many years later and several loses later..For Both fighters. Had the fight happened with Jones and Tito in 2001 it would have been huge 1.5 to 2 million buys easy..Not sure what the **** your talking about in the rest of that crap you wrote which is common with Pac fans

 

I could say the same, **** does Hatton/DLH have anything to do with Pac/PBF???

 

Classic forum discussion... nobody actually readies what anyone else writes they just repeat the same thing over and over. I wonder if 1lehudson even understands he just made dangerousity's point? lol

.... probably not.. okay moving on. :silly
