    Pacquiao makes it close as hell in Mayweather's backyard.

    Mayweather couldn't sell hotdogs in the Philippines.

    I think we know who the global star is. Call Barack Obama, and ask him. :smoke

    I am honestly amazed that Pac was able to pull in 1.2 million buys with Mosley after Mosley's performance against Mayweather. That actually incredible. I know damn well that Floyd couldn't have done anywhere near those numbers if Mosley was coming off a dominating, uninspiring loss against Pac. Mosley was coming off an EXTREMELY impressive destruction of Margarito when he fought Mayweather. Much easier to sell.

    Better than I thought! Good on him!

    I seriously think his next ppv might suffer substancially especially if it is with Marquez though.

    I expect 600K - 700K numbers

    You are an idiot. The stupid argument you are trying to make is like a fool saying he has a "better" job because he does 30 hours of overtime a week and makes more than you. I will take my 40 hours and free time. You take your 70 hours and cash.

    Mayweather is the biggest draw. Period. The fact that he signed the fight for 50/50 shows that he wanted the fight. The fact that Pac balked shows that Pac doesn't want to fight or drug test. :deal

    Exactly. Arum left HBO and this was supposed to be a fight which proved his decision was right. However the fight sold no more than it would of HBO even with access to more homes.

    The excuses from people on why this fight did less homes than PBF v Mosley is laughable. Wasnt PBF v JMM a BS fight where nobody fancied JMM yet it still did over 1 million homes. Just face it, PBF is the biggest draw in boxing. The numbers do not lie.

    Him being american is not the deciding factor. If that was the case then Shane Mosley would be able to sell PPV's but guess what he never has!!

    The final number is not even in yet. Won't be for a few days. It could be over 1.4 Million at least.

    Can anyone clarify how much it cost back then to buy the Mayweather-Mosley PPV versus how much was it for the Pacquiao-Mosley PPV ?

    Anyhow, it's obvious that Mayweather draws a little more each fight. We can't deny that.

    lol pac fights 3 times a year, not once

    mayweather spends half a year or 1 year hyping **** up then fights. pac fights every 4 months.

    There are million of Asians in this country. I believe it like 12 million. Most support Pacman and buy his fights.

    love this racist generalization "Most support pacman and buy his fights"

    There are 40 million african americans in the United States most support Mayweather how come only 1 million people buy his fights ?

    Floyd is the bigger draw... He's outsold Pac with each common opponent and does with pretty much each fight he takes. Pac's a huge draw as well, he can't win everything though despite how many people want to try and force it down your throat. The whole Pac is foreign and Floyd is American argument is trash. To say Pac doesn't include drama in his fights is even more trash, why the **** do you think people buy his fights?! He may not trash talk like Floyd but his style attracts far more casual fans than Floyds ever would. Pac is as big as he is because of Great promotion and action packed performances... **** has 0 to do with race/country of origin. Well actually he's in politics in his country and a professional boxer... Maybe HIS country does have something to do with his sales, but it's not the primary reason for buying fights... Least it's never been for me or anyone I personally know.

    And Lance you went and quoted that?! You've gotten worse and worse with your hate for Floyd/Love for anything positive about his rival as time has gone by... You used to have the ability to try and have reasonable debates, now it seems your goal on ESB is to be included in anything bashing Floyd & company and agree with anything positive regarding Pac that has to do anything remotely with Floyd or his fans. Sad really...

    It should be with the access to more homes and CBS exposure. If this fight doesnt do much better than it would of done on HBO then Bob Arum has to take the L.

    Mosley was an 11-1 underdog, dumb shits. Floyd - Marquez did only 1 million buys. Pac wins.
