    From a numbers standpoint... If this will be PPV... Which i assume it is being Floyd.



    Will the Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield fight do better numbers than if he fought Brook or Khan?


    Or rouighly about the same.


    Or will he pick Porter.

    Shouldn't Berto beat himself up first (Liar Liar style) to get the date with Floyd? :blood

    Only because Berto is more well known but from a boxing perspective Berto is a bum Brook is the current IBF champ..So it make more sense for Floyd to fight Brook but that would go against his cherry picking beliefs

    Berto is better known and I think he brings more to trouble floyd, nothing against special K but no one is outboxing floyd.

    Brook would bring more fans to a PPV imo, though neither one would be impressive in terms of numbers. Berto is more known in the U.S, but not as highly regarded as Brook is with his U.K fans since Berto is more noted for his big losses rather than his wins. There is also at least some danger factor with Brook that can be played up as he's undefeated.

    Brook is a boxer & he hold a lot as seen in the porter fight, most fans would complain. Berto is a come foward boxer-puncher with fast hands & power. Plus berto has fought the better opposition.

    No. If Brook fought Mayweather it would also be on Sky Box Office which is hugely lucrative as Mayweather found out when he allowed Hatton 100% of the ppv take from Sky and Hatton ended up making more than Mayweather overall. Berto v Mayweather in not Sky Boxoffice and Boxnation would probably pick it up.

    US numbers alone, Berto would do better numbers (i think). However, Mayweather v Berto is not PPV in the UK. Mayweather v Brook is. It would sell really well over here so if you took global numbers into account, Mayweather v Brook would do bigger numbers and make more money imo.
