    So you made about 250 on the deal, my wife and I have partys like that to Asada, Pastor, Pollo, the whole bit with drinks and all we caculated the cost including a PPV event and we never have more than 10 people but just that alone we spend 300 bux, Blunts included:yep
    But we also dont charge our guest, if your a guest you do not have to pay your way .......


    Explain how I am a pac fan? I still havent figured that one out, I like to watch Pacquiao fight in person he is cool, in the gym he has always been cool with me, but I mean damn I am a fan of boxing, Pacquiao is good for the sport, or is it becuase my views conflict with yours?:think Now I think we are on to something here.....

    I NEVER said JMM was the sole reason. :huh

    I said it was because of Floyd and because of the hispanic community supporting JMM in his biggest fight.

    Floyd can sell, but he needs an opponent with a HUGE fan base to do so.

    The Problem they have Uli, is they only read the bold They dont get past that to read the bottom half by the time they get to the bold, they are already pissed and hit reply.

    I would buy a mosley PPV long before I bought a Mayweather one, if you have Mosley vs a Nobody and Floyd vs a Nobody and I had to choose it would be Sugar Shane all day.

    Lets get rid of the vs a nobody for a second. if I had to choose between a PPV fight with FMJ vs Hatton and Mosley vs Margarito I would pay for Mosley vs Margarito all day long.

    I wont just order a Floyd fight if he is not in there with someone I respect. its obvious I dont respect Floyd taht much so why order?
    Mosley on the other hand will get my PPV dollar before Floyd will not becuase of hate but because when you see Shane fight usally you see fireworks.

    Floyd is the biggest draw in boxing.

    No fight sells like a Mayweather fight. Not since Oscar left.

    And let me say this: Marquez had about a million more fans that night than he has ever had. Ever.

    Floyd is STILL the draw when guys are buying seats and PPV's just to see some guy beat him.

    And the proof is in the fact that JMM can't draw against other fighters. But he drew against Floyd, let me tell you. And you can give Money all the credit for that, ***** that he is.

    I DISAGREE...If its not Floyd doing the selling in these fights than how come when the next biggest name in Pac fights these guys the numbers aren't nearly what Floyd does...

    I doubt Floyd will ever fight a fighter with a small fan base ever again, but if he fights Mosley, I'm almost sure it will not do more than 750K.

    We may never know, but what we do know is that every opponent that Floyd has fought where the #s were exceptionally high were opponents who could also draw many people to the fight. INCLUDING JMM, as Mexicans know he's the last great fighter.

    The proof was also in the crowd, where it was majority a Pro-JMM crowd.

    I'd really like to see Mosley fight PBF to confirm that I'm right.

    That's how it is with every ****ing fighter. stop acting like it's only Floyd who would have this happen to him.

    No one is saying Floyd is a better draw than DLH but he is the best draw in boxing today.

    DLH's last 3 PPVs prior to DLH didn't even add up to more than what DLH-Mayweather did.

    Yet DLH was the reason it did so well not Floyd?

    DLH needed a strong fan base of people around the fighter he was facing, without it, DLH did okay at best with his PPVs.
