    So saying Judah-Floyd was for a paper title helped the PPV numbers? And then nearly a year later it helped the Baldomir-Floyd number?

    :rofl

    Why is it getting media exposure?? Could it be because Floyd is popular and the biggest draw in boxing today??? Hmm I wonder..I mean the tv networks are all over his return, it overshadowed Pac vs Hatton, and all Floyd did was say "IM BACK"

    I was comparing the first 3 but if you want to do that.. then...


    Mayweather - Gatti - 365k

    Mayweather - Judah - 375k

    Mayweather - Baldomir 325k

    Floyd - Hatton 915k

    Floyd - Oscar 2.4 Million

    Total 4.38 Million


    Compared to

    Pacquiao - Morales 1 - 350k

    Pacquiao - Morales 2 - 360k

    Pacquiao - Morales 3 - 350k

    Pacquiao - Diaz - 200k

    Pacquiao - JMM - 400k

    Pacquiao - DLH - 1.25 Million

    Pacquiao - Hatton - 850k

    Total - 3.760

    Pacquaio's had two more PPVs and done over Half Million Worse.

    :lol: being on PPVs make you a star now. :rofl:rofl:rofl



    Floyd has been off of boxing for 18 months. And by the time he took the a break Pac had one more PPV than him.

    The numbers don't lie.

    If Pac is such a star why didn't he even break the Trinidad - DLH buyrate?

    Volumes? Im sorry you must have been in a bubble the last 5 years. Judah was the unified lineal welterweight champ. Baldomir beat him. Many were pissed at Floyd for fighting Judah instead of Baldomir. On the night of the fight that old drunk and Steward were commenting how "Floyd has never seen a fighter like Baldomir before"

    :lol::lol: Way to change the argument.

    You made a mistake. Right..


    Headlining fights mean nothing toward PPV.

    Gatti was popular but he only had two PPVs in his career.

    DLH and Floyd. If he was such a star why not put him on more PPV fights?

    I wasn't whining about it, I was saying that despite Pac having more PPVs he had less buys.


    The Brussels fight was not PPV. And Floyd is the bigger draw. Compare their biggest fights and Floyd beats him in that department.

    Compare their first 3 PPVs, Floyd beats him. Pac had EM in his first PPVs and he couldn't beat out Floyd had a PPV against Baldomir. BALDOMIR!

    The facts don't lie.

    It's not Pacs fault at all but it shows he's not that big of a draw.


    Neither will be in that category my argument is, Floyd is the biggest draw is boxing currently. He's not as big as DLH is/was but he's the biggest.
