    so was morales in the first and second fight and they still made records in the lower weight classes. but mayweather-judah didn't. it was just a minor bleep in the records of the bigger weight classes considering that the fighters wer the top P4P fighter in the world and the former welterweight champ who many said lose by a fluke due to excessive promotions.

    yes and they made bigger records fighting pac. now pac alone carries the PPV burden in the lower weight classes. whereas delahoya remains to be the draw among the big boys.

    you guys need a reality check if you think pac is a bigger draw than floyd.

    As to mannys future: he still wont be a draw like floyd. he already had PPV fights with FHOFs that sold what Floyd sold fighting baldo. when floyd fights a top fighter the PPV sales blow manny out of the water. and dont pull that "oh in floyds 2 biggest fights DLH and hatton were the draw" bull****. Cotto is fighting Margo in a great fight but the fight would be 10 times bigger if he was fighting mayweather.


    I like manny, out of the current fighters he's in my top 4 favorite. but he'll never be a draw like floyd

    Check your facts, Judah-Floyd did more than any of all 3 of the Pac/Morales fights.

    And what exactly is the standard PPV figure for the welter class?:huh

    The only reason Floyd is a draw is because people wanna see him get his ass kicked...plain & simple.

    So PBF/Judah did around 750-800K buys?

    Just let it go cause you're looking pretty suspect right about now!:deal

    floyds naturally a better attraction you people are unreal
    as far as america goes

    floyds more outspoken
    more controversial
    more appealing to eye (female as a sex icon & male as a impressive physique and specimen)
    hes more hated (that hate makes him more of and attraction because people flock to see him lose )
    and more loved (to the average fan)


    if i went to a college or mall or osmething and took a survey not very many people would even know who manny pacqiou is

    so how much did floyd-judah made? and this is not even my point. my point was pac-em made records in the lower weight classes while floyd-judah didn't for the bigger weights. i don't know the standard but when dela hoya was at his prime at welterweights, he was piling up numbers especially him and trinidad.

    If Mayweather had an IQ above 80, it woudl be in better hands with him I think. He doesn't, so yeah - probably Pac.

    Who really gives a **** if he can't draw like Floyd? Floyd can't draw like DLH still. WTF does that mean?
    If Floyd had the balls to fight Cotto or Margarito, we'd know for sure. But all you say is purely speculation and nothing else.

    SInce when did being a bigger PPV seller mean you were better for boxing? I guess DLH throwing his hat into the ring once a year makes him the best guy for boxing? Cause he still outsells everyone else. You Mayweather fanboys saying how he had more buys or does more buys then Pac and therefore is better are just idiots grasping fore the one straw you have. How about taking fan reaction to the fight into consideration. How entertained were the casual fans? And based on seeing Floyd fight the last couple years, what are the chances he actually grabs and keeps viewers? You fanboys want everything to favor Mayweather.

    @BK- It's just as unfair making the DLH comparison to Floyd. PPV wise the only person you could make that with was Tyson.

    Exactly. And while Tyson brought a ton of headlines for boxing, was it his headlines that made him so good for boxing as a whole, or his in ring action? :good
