    Widen your scope. Floyd isn't known in the Europe mainland and in Asia. Manny meanwhile might be non-existent among casuals in Europe, but casuals in Asia know who Manny is.

    they are both massive draws for very different reasons.

    May is a little higher, but moreso because people want to see him fail. He has a big ghetto following that dosent know **** about boxing, and is infamous in the US for all his outside of the ring activities.

    Pac is a little lower, but I would wager the bulk of the people tuning in to watch him fight are supporters and interested in seeing a good scrap. He is viewed in a much more positive light and is an easily likable figure. As a foreigner he nearly matches Floyd's ppv numbers in the US, but if you had to compare their numbers world wide, Pac smashes him easy. Its hard to beat 90m fans from his home country, and while May has his ghetto fans that dont kno ****, Pac has his pinoy fans that dont know **** either.

    All in all, I would say May is the bigger financial draw (for all the wrong reasons), while also being a much better business man. Pac on the other hand is the much more beloved figure

    Dlh and Tito did 1.4, 1.5. Dlh and Floyd did 2.4. I supposed Floyd had no participation in that mega ppv at all.

    Mayweather is the bigger draw, this has been demonstrated and shown to be fact multiple times. That being said Manny draws well, and I respect his accomplishments and contrbutions to boxing. It's irrelevant why, it's irrelevant how either fan base is percieved, where they are from etc...the bottom line is Mayweather is the bigger draw as it stands today.

    Boxing doesn't care if Pacquiaos ****** yellow fans love Pacquiao more than Floyd. Pacquiaos fans can't use alts to order ppvs, because if they could Pacquiao would out draw Floyd. Pacquiao fans can't afford to buy ppvs.
