    Pac - Marquez will be the more competitive fight but Floyd and Victor will be the bigger draw simply because of the unknown factor.

    Mayweather-Ortiz but I'm sure it has a lot to do with Mayweather being so inactive. If he was fighting two times a year than Pac-Marquez would likely be the bigger fight.

    I'm buying and excited for both fights though.

    Very hard question to answer.

    I voted for Floyd Ortiz but would not really argue strongly that its a much bigger fight than Pac Marquez.

    The thing is we have pretty much all decided that both Pac and Floyd will both win, so that kind of takes away from both fights.

    However....

    Pac has beaten Marquez twice already, and Marquez has slowed and is fighting out of his normal weight, where are Pac is in his element and peak (There abouts). He is also a much improved fighter than he ever has been. so there is no mystery to the fight.

    But in the Floyd fight we have a younger, stronger, hungrier opponent who is coming off of a great fight combined with the fact that Floyd is coming off of another long layoff. So until the bell rings and Floyd picks up where he left off (which we all expect) the fight has a lot more mystery to it.

    Having said this Pac Marquez will be more competitive to watch and the more fan pleasing fight as there will probably be a TKO, and as Pac actually gets hit clean, but i see the Floyd fight doing better numbers with or without the stacked under card.

    Why is Marquez even fighting Pac? He is going to get beat and stopped. It is not the same Pac he is fighting. I don't even consider it a fight at this point in time. It will be a mismatch in my eyes.

    I actually think Pac-JMM will draw more. The odds will reflect a closer matchup in Pac-JMM specially once 24/7 hypes up the fact that JMM arguably beat Pac twice.

    Floyd-Ortiz = 1.6mil
    Pac-JMM = 1.6-1.7

    Cant say for sure. Im guessing if PBF-Mosley did 1.4 without the mainstream network coverage, it would do a lot more with despite Ortiz not being as tough matchup as Mosley was seen at the time. Pac-JMM is a lot more competitve than Pac-Mosley and HBO are better hype machines. If that did 1.3, I think Pac-JMM does 1.6 minimum.

    Neighter fight will go over 1.5 IMO.

    May-Ortiz will do 1.4 and Pac-JMM 1.2 or so.

    Agreed, but I think the differential in total buys will be lower than as seen previous.

    Agree with this.

    And having probably the best undercard of the year doesnt hurt.

    Expect Floyd-Ortiz ppv to do very well.
