    It matters when negotiating.

    I really don't know, that's why I made the thread. But PPV sales certainly don't work anything like the way you explained. I could give you numerous examples of how your math doesn't even come close to working out if you need clarification.

    I don't care about figures per se, it's just that they were used as justification for why Margarito got this fight. I'm trying to figure out where people get the idea that Margarito will make Pacquiao any more money than a fight with anybody else.

    A slow plodder who throws in volume against a speedy, sharp puncher, with quick movement? Huh? It's a heavybag session.

    Kermit "Fragile Heart" Cintron breaks down under any pressure. He's one of the mentally weakest fighters I've ever seen.

    As far as Cotto goes, I think we learned how Rockgloves ever managed to get any wins in the first place... in the dressing room pre-Mosley.

    but pac doesn't fight anything like mosley, mosley brawled with margo, backed him up and bullied him, pac doesn't have the strength to do that.

    Pacquiao doesn't need to wrestle with Rockgloves to back him up. Sharp straight lefts down the pipe will do the trick. I'm predicting an absolute mismatch with Pacquiao sweeping the cards. You can call me on it if I'm wrong, but I really don't think this fight comes anywhere close to being competitive.

    To be fair he was fighting a ****ing bum with no name... you can not expect numbers to be any where near average....
    Bottom line this fight will do big numbers wait it out and eat ****ing crow when it does.....

    Who do you think is going to need to "eat crow"? The numbers in this fight will be generated largely by Pacquiao. I don't think anyone is disputing that this fight is going to sell well.

    Well I don't know if people are trolling me but the number I'm seeing in here is 14k. Wouldn't that also qualify Margarito as a no name? Pacquiao could fight my mother and sell more than 14k. With numbers that poor you're splitting hairs trying to differentiate who is the worse draw.

    Good post. This, of course, assuming that the 14k number is accurate... which I don't doubt is true.

    The numbers will be genorated by both, Manny has a huge following Mexican Flipsiders along with real fight fans...
    Margarito does have a following and beleive me we will be ordering the fight, you can not simply say all the numbers will belong to manny, you will also notice a large Margarito fan base in Dallas come the night of the fight.....
    to say Margarito isnt bringing anything to this fight is to just out right admit your a jack ass....

    1st off Margarito just came off of a brutal knock out loss and also had got caught with loaded gloves or atleast thats the story today...
    However Margarito fighting a bigger name like Pac you will see more people come out of the wood work for this one rather than his last bout...
    Especially considering Margarito has the opportunity at redemption and that alone will sell tickets....
    should he do the un thinkable beleive that Margarito will be genorating more interest sure not from ***** **** suckers around these parts....
    The way I see it I would rather watch Margarito fight, than sit back and listen to excuses by Floyd while he is busy beating up his babys momma in front of his kids..... I have no respect for people like that
