Pacquiao: "I got a higher pay-per-view from my fight (than Mayweather)"

Excellent take! :thumbsup

It's pointless to split hairs though on who gets the bigger slice of the pie now though as both had legit claims to it. 50-50 it is.

Or winner take all. :yep

 

Thank you ! 50-50 is definitely a fair deal in today's reality.

 

Me too but we're a minority for that.....

 

I think their Hatton fight is the most comparable fight to compare given the settings. The only thing that may have affected it maybe the fact that Hatton lost his undefeated record and the economy was at an all time low. That said, PBF-Hatton did what, 50-100k more than Pac-Hatton?


50/50 for both fighters. Miguel Cotto has never seen anywhere close to those numbers, he has never been a superstar, Pac proves his just as big a draw by going over 1mil with Cotto, yet alone potentially 1.4mil.

Lets face it, 50/50 for this fight will make them 3* more than what they could from any other fight. The promotion for this fight will be the biggest it has ever seen, HBO is already talking about forcing it and promoting it differently from before, stadiums fighting for the right to hold it and every sports publicist with their eye on it. You also got the 2 biggest promoters co-promoting it with 2 of its biggest stars.

 

It will be 50-50. Every other talks leading up to that is obviously to attempt gaining leverage in negociations and most importantly generate and build more and more interest...

 

Mayweather/DLH did more than double of what Pac/DLH did.

Mayweather/Hatton did $90k more than what Pacquiao/Hatton did.

Mayweather/Marquez did nearly as much as Pac/Cotto did and obviously far more than Pac/Marquez II.

Mayweather/Judah did $30k more than what Pac/Morales did.

Mayweather/Baldomir did more than what Pac/Morales II or III(whatever you wish) did.

To make things simple Mayweather/Marquez all alone did more than the entire Pac/Morales trilogy with the Marquez rematch included. Mayweather was involved in the richest and biggest fight in boxing history, Pacquiao isn't despite fighting the same opponent Mayweather fought. The only reason people are saying Pac/Mayweather could break Mayweather/DLH's record is because Pacquiao is fighting MAYWEATHER. I didn't see any of them say Cotto/Pac can break that record and I sure as **** don't see ANYONE saying ANY other fight out there now can come close to breaking that, only Mayweather's name is mentioned. Yes, those are facts people don't want to mention.

 

The thing is noone is questioning that Floyd was a bigger draw than Pacquiao back then.

times change though.

 

That argument is as good as saying Torrecampo knocked out Pac therefore he must be able to knock him out today.

Facts are not everything. Pac fought JMM without 24/7, at lower weights before ODLH & Hatton. In boxing timing is everything. Tyson drew 2mil ppv against McNeely, could not draw 300k against McBride. You seriously think had a Pac-JMM 3 with 24/7 fight happened at 140 instead of PBF-JMM it wouldnt have done big numbers?

Again, PBF/Pac-Hatton did 900k or so. Pac-Cotto does about 1.4mil...I dont think Cotto's stock is that much bigger than Hatton if it is at all...fighters stock drops and rises so unless the events took place exactly the same time at the same point in their careers, comparing those ppv numbers are pointless.

PBF is no more a bigger draw than Pac, and I dont think Pac is a bigger draw either. The media attention is divided equally amonst the 2.

 

what floydettes disregard is the fact pac was building his name in the US in those common fights, while american born floyd was already a name by then. now pac is benefitting from those dramas and has established his name. why keep backing on those old numbers?

pacs name has grown, floyd has been coasting. pac is the bigger name now. end of.

 

All of those fights were when Pac was on his rise. The Pac/Cotto PPV just goes to show how big of a global superstar Pac has become.

When its convenient in comparing PPV numbers, Marquez was just a tuneup. But when it comes to Floyd's credibality as fighting the best, well he fought the #2 P4P and schooled him.

Yeah Floyd has done better against previous commen oppenents as far as
PPV sales. But Pac has completely destroyed there common opponents in more immpressive and entertaining fashion.

In my eyes and in much of the publics, this should be a 50/50 purse.
Pac has the momentum right now and Floyd needs to step up and take it from him.

 

right and Floyd's ppv number is declining while PAC's improving.:deal

 

Lol @ those that fall for the no dance partner crap. I thought his victory was against the #2 P4P? And I can guarantee there is a lot more PPV buys from Mexican supporters than Puerto Rican, just cause of the population difference. And Marquez is a loved and widely known Mexican fighter.

 

You cannot compare a PPV result with an american to non american with the fact that PPV results count only the PPV in the united states.

Why can't you people understand that Pacquiao fought Oscar and Ricky during recession? atsch If it weren't for the recession that they would've earned more revenue.
