    Ask these questions better.

    How many ESB members have jumped on plane to see a PBF fight in Vegas or anywhere?


    How many ESB members have jumped on plane to see a Manny fight in Vegas or anywhere?

    I have gone to two of Manny's fights and I walked out totally satisfied and I met people at those fights who flew from the UK, Canada and other states to see his fights.

    Right now both guys names are attached to each other. You mention one, you have to mention the other. Go to ppvs against common opponents. Winner, Floyd Mayweather.

    I don't believe for a second that Floyd Mayweather could draw 50,000+ fans to a stadium in Dallas for a fight against Ghana's Joshua Clottey. Not a hope in hell. He couldn't even sell out a 16,000 capacity casino in Vegas for a fight vs America's Victor Ortiz.

    Floyd has become more popular thanks to his out of control behavior outside the ring, accusing Pacquiao of PEDs

    he has really become more popular after being linked to Pacquiao since he came out of retirement...announcing it on the day of Pac-Hatton

    Floyd jumped at the chance to be connected to Pacquiao by fighting a common opponent (JMM)

    He got his fans and America all excited at the prospect that Floyd might even fight Pacquiao

    The both of them fighting each other is the draw.

    People just watch Mayweather fights to see him lose, he won't be nearly as big a draw when he loses.

    Floyd fought Dlh, and that was the biggest ppv ever. Pacquiao can only do that if he fights Floyd. You see Pacquiao couldn't do it when HE fought Dlh, and this was after Floyd fought Dlh at his weight.

    Should be 50-50 split regardless. The difference is not significant enough to justify Floyd getting a larger share.


    Worldwide Pac is a greater draw tha May so you can't base "drawing power" only on US PPV numbers.


    PBF-DLH was the biggest draw ever because of Hoya's standing and marketing power at the time much more than because of PBF.
