It means that they are both good draws in the US and people will pay to see them fight regardless of opponent.
If beating by 150k+ is barely when Floyd-JMM had more advertising money, a comeback angle, and the Mexican Independence day crowd, then it means a whole lot. Otherwise, it means they are both huge draws.
How did Margo/Pac have more going for it? There were talks of people boycotting because of catchweight (just like Floyd-JMM) and also because Margo is a cheating dog. A comeback fight is going to get a lot of attention as well as Mexico's best fighter fighting on Mexican Independence week. GBP pumped 15mil into advertisements for it.
Of course it did: - It was Floyd's much anticipated return - It was during Mexico's Independance Week - It featured Mexico's number one fighter - It featured an American
Not surprised. PPV's are done in USA, Floyd is American, and neither Pac nor Margo is. Also, the big comeback angle had a lot to do with Floyd-JMM's success, whereas Pac-Margo had a lot of negative publicity because of Margo's past crimes.
The response to Floyd being the biggest draw in boxing is to always attribute it to his opponent...hahaha.. JMM, Judah, Mosley have always shown to be massive draws.
Of course it means that Pacquiao is a monumental joke and should leave boxing forever with his head hung low.
