    are ya kidding me? I will NEVER pay money to see Floyd (unless it's a legit competition)...

    Manny vs. Clottey is def. PPV worthy.

    If they're on the same day (unlikely), then Headed By Oscar will do a better job promoting the GBP card, and it'll sell more than an independent Top Rank PPV card.

    You guys probably do get exploited, which is a disgrace, but I tend to believe that the majority of U.S boxing fans are knowledgeable enough to know which cards are ppv worthy.

    What about the gullible British fools who forked out £15 or so for "King Khan" and his 70 second blow out of Salita?

    I agree. It has nothing to do with being cheap. Both cards are non PPV worthy, yet for some reason Bob Arum will still charge $59.95 for a Pacquiao- Foreman too!

    Lou Dibella has said there has been no contact by golden boy promotions asking about Malignaggi.....They have called Matt Hatton across the pond...

    I dont think either will sell too much. Pac-Clottey is a good match up but Clottey isnt a PPV fighter so wont draw. Mallignaggi is a nobody and average but may be seen as a bit of a great white hope against the P4P Mayweather, who is a bigger PVP attraction than Pac.

    I'd guess both would do 500-600k but Pacquaio's fight isnt PVP and Mayweathers shouldnt be

    LOL

    Floyd aint going anywhere near a threat at 47 as expected and has been the case for years now.

    Very unlikely that the two would get shown on the same day, as the major PPV providers will not contract for more than one fight at a time(so it would split viewers and money). But if you want to compare March 13th vs. March 20th, (with GBP being 13 and pac bineg 20th) I think Pac's fight will have more ppv's

    Floyd vs Malignaggi won't sell

    Malignaggi kind of sucks.
