    because Pac was pure excitement at that point in his career - people would have paid to see him fight Ronald McDonald! His was tremendous.

    And you could spin ANY opponent as competitive. In one corner was a small and unassuming filipino. In the other corner was a huge black man, looked like he was cut from a piece of granite with muscles on top of muscles, and probably killed his first person at 8yrs old growing up in Africa.

    even if Pac was a 10-1 favorite he LOOKED like the underdog. People were always pumped and he sold 70k seats at cowboy stadium!


    Mayweather fighting Berto rightly draws 400k and nobody gave a ****

    Just goes to show who the real draw was after all. Floyd's previous fights drew well because everyone was watching in the hopes of a build up to a pac fight once that was over you could see how average Floyd is as a draw. Pac made Floyd a draw he should be kissing and shinning his shoes without him he's just another fighter with some questionable wins.

    Ah the Clottey fight. Those were the good old days. Manny the killer! Just destroyed Cotto months before! HGH/EPO monster! The legend!

    About the same as numbers Floyd was making against possibly weaker opposition.

    Nobody in the real world (outside of hardcore boxing fans) has ever heard of Clottey. Ask people "Who do you think is a guy called Clottey". Check the empty look in their faces.
