    I believe the reason why those folks are bigger than Floyd is because they have\had huge Nike contracts. Nike plays commericals for them to make them more popular in result it makes the nike product more popular too. So even if you don't watch sports you will know who they are!

    Nike Basketball commerical: "If I could be like (Fill in the blank)"

    Jack squat in Asia. Boxing fans for sure.
    But expect a blank stare when you ask the general public who Mayweather is.
    Can't tell for sure in the middle east (Asia) since I've never been there.

    Pac's popularity is sky high tho.
    Mexicans are somewhat popular in SE Asian countries as well. (but it could be mostly because Asian and Mexican fighters usually clash in the lower weights)

    I have a feeling many countries in Asia and South America have no idea who Floyd Mayweather is.

    Popular or not, there are plenty that are willing to shell out to see him victorious or for the remote possibility that he will get his ass kicked.

    Mayweather's top three PPV's:

    1.) Mayweather vs De La Hoya - 2.4 million buys = $136.6 million revenue
    2.) Mayweather vs Mosley - 1.4 million buys = $78.3 million revenue
    3.) Mayweather vs Marquez - 1 million buys = $52 million revenue


    Pacquiao's top three PPV's:

    1.) Pacquiao vs De La Hoya - 1.25 million buys = $70 million revenue
    2.) Pacquiao vs Cotto - 1.25 million buys = $70 million revenue
    3.) Pacquiao vs Hatton - 850,000 buys = $45 million revenue


    Interesting Comparisons:


    Mayweather vs Baldomir - 325,000 buys = $16.3 million revenue
    Pacquiao vs Diaz - 250,000 buys = $11 million revenue

    Mayweather vs De La Hoya - 2.4 million buys = $136.6 million revenue
    Pacquiao vs De La Hoya - 1.25 million buys = $70 million revenue

    Mayweather vs Hatton - 920,000 buys = $50 million revenue
    Pacquiao vs Hatton - 850,000 buys = $45 million revenue

    Mayweather vs Gatti - 365,000 buys = $16.5 million revenue
    Pacquiao vs Morales I - 350,000 buys = $15.7 million revenue

    Mayweather vs Marquez - 1 million buys = $52 million revenue

    You're talking about American market for an American fighter.

    With that said you're comparing an Asian midget in the American market.

    Don't know why you have to butt in that doesn't make sense on my post.

    Anyway just to continue your orgasm, you're talking about someone, Hatton, being from UK and you're hero lil floyd, the classless coward just hitched on.
