Pacquiao will take DLH for $30M minimum!!!!

Not gonna happen.

 

i don't understand how pac could demand a pay higher than pbf. it does not make much sense for me

 

He can argue that he has a bigger fan base, which he very well may (than the pre-Oscar Floyd). I think his PPV record is higher than Floyd's was before the Oscar fight.

 

Yes, but not overwhelmingly high considering Morales and MAB's popularity as Mexican warriors. They contributed.

 

Didn't the Marquez fight outdue both of those fights though?

If so, given JMM's lack in popularity, Pac is a bonified star. Especially for the lighter weight classes.

 

True, and I am not saying he isn't. I am saying that he has had a longer PPV track record and I am not sure that his numbers are really comparable to PBF's. His highest PPV is far lower than Mayweather 2 highest. And I believe that his other PPV's besides JMM's are lower than Mayweather's lowest.

What were the Pacquiao's previous PPV #'s? I don't believe Mayweather has ever gone below 300K.

On top of this, he can't ask for more money than Mayweather is set to make in the rematch because Post DLH Mayweather did over a million buys combined as well right? And Pacquiao is asking for more than Post DLH Mayweather, not just pre DLH.

 

:rofl I like were your going with this!

 

you think if pac-dlh happens, it will surpass the sales of pbf-dlh?

 

I'm not sure about the #'s of PBF, but I don't think they were anything above 400K before DLH. And then he fought Hatton, so its hard to tell what is what.

I am sure Pac doesn't expect to get 30, he is just fielding a bid to see if DLH bites. I think the fight would do huge, huge numbers.

 

:good

 

I would fight Godzilla for 30 mil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As this was semi sensible, I will respond. Your numbers don't back up your assertions that Pacquiao is the bigger PPV draw.

Mayweather has 5 PPVs. None less than 325K. Even without DLH, he did nearly 1 mill in PPV buys. (You added an opinion that is not provable nor in my opinion accurate that Hatton was the reason for the huge numbers. Mayweather had something to do with it, as Hatton is not well known here in the states. Both fighters were draws here for different reasons). Pacquiao has PPV's in the 350K range, and one big one against JMM that was hugely hyped by HBO just like Mayweather vs Hatton. He also has a couple of smaller ones at 250K and less. So the numbers don't bear out that Pacquiao is the larger draw.

Perhaps Mayweather is only a bigger draw now because of the DLH fight. But the reason for him being a bigger draw isn't relevant. It just matters that he is.

 

Are you saying that Mayweather is only drawing more than Pacquiao right now because he fought De La Hoya?
