May-Mosley will outsell Pac-Clottey by over 1 million PPV buys

No way I think both will have comparable buys with Mosley and Mayweather doing a little better. There is a lot of interest in Pac.

 

Pac - Mosley would outsell Clottey - Mayweather by over a million.

The PPV sales for these fights have no relevance to negotiations for a Mayweather - Pac fight.

 

yessir

 

This. Although I'm pretty sure it will figure into the negotiations, I really think it shouldn't because Mosley is so much more famous than Clottey...

 

Yes it will.

 

If you think Pacquiao will accept anything less than 50/50 then you're an idiot.

 

Mayweather and Mosley are both draws. Pacquiao alone is probably a bigger draw than Mayweather alone, but Clottey can't draw flies to ****.

 

Has nothing to do with the purse split. I think if Pac doesnt sell well this weekend and Mayweather does, it will be more favorably to making the fight happen. I think if both fights do comparable numbers, than its less likely we will ever see them fight. Arum just doesnt want to work with Mayweather or put his fighter in with someone he doesnt control.

 

You are underestimating the villain.


Floyd is a draw. Plus, he is currently working with a company who knows how to promote. People are going to tune in to finally see him get KTFO. Whether it happens or not is another issue, but that's what they're tuning in to see.

 

I think it wil be 2.5M to .8M


Floyd Shane will far outdo Pac-Cotto. And Cotto and Shane are probably an equal draw, possibly Cotto being slightly bigger.

 

Exactly! even though I like Clottey, you can't ignore the fact that 2 stars are better than 1. Mayweather's gay ass will probably talk about how he outsold Pac. but really Mosley outsold Clottey!............think about it.:hat

 

As far as negotiating leverage for a future May/Pac fight, the proper comparison is Pac/Cotto since it can be argued that Cotto was/is a bigger draw than Mosley.

Agree with Oden about the 1MM differential. I'm thinking Pac/Clottey will do around a million with May/Mosley around two.

 

Mayweather-Mosley should definitely outsell the Pacquaio-Clottey fight. Even during the week of the Pac fight there is just as much talk about the Mayweather-Mosley fight as there is Pac's. Mayweather and Mosley are both names and both Americans. Pacquaio is the only draw in his fight and Clottey is foreign who noone other than boxing fans know. I don't know if the Mayweather-Mosley fight will sell two million and I don't think it beats Pac by a million buys but it will sell more and sell a lot.
