Goosen believes that a Pacquiao-Williams fight will generate a higher PPV sales than a fight with Joshua Clottey [700K buys] or a possible rematch with Cotto. If Pac vs. PBF does not get made, which fight vs. Pacquiao would be the next best option based on PPV sales. I doubt the Cotto rematch would make anywhere near the Pac vs. Clottey PPV sales. Pac-Williams could be marketed easily and may turn out better PPV numbers.
If not Floyd.....i would like to see Pac vs Berto. I think pac will knock him out late but i also think berto can make it "very" interesting early on.
No one knows who Paul Williams is .. That's complete bs that it would generate mre PPVs than a rematch with Cotto or a fight with Margarito.
I voted for Pac vs. Williams for the following reasons: 1. People would like to see how Pacquiao handles the size disadvantages 2. Paul Williams has been marketed as the most "feared" boxer today 3. Paquiao would be facing his first African American challenger 4. Paul Williams is in the top 10 Pound for Pound Ring Rankings Now, in regards to the fighters you have listed: 5. Cotto's losses to Pacquiao and Margarito can label him as damaged 6. Margarito is coming off a suspension and people might not pay to see him 7. Bradley/Berto/Martinez are not well known outside of boxing fans
although some of your reasons are valid , the question is what would sell more PPVs ... And I don't think a Williams v Pacquaio fight could outsell a cotto rematch or even a fight with Margocheato. It's a possibility , the marketing would have to be phenominial.
I say PAC vs. Cotto rematch at 154 gets the most PPV with PAC vs. Margo (147) and PAC vs. Williams (147) not far behind.
Pac vs Cotto at 154. Cotto looks real good against Foreman at 154 so why not. *****s are the ones who doesn't want to see that fight because they know Pac will **** on Floyd's resume again once Pac gets a belt at another higher weight class.
agreed Paul Williams is nobody to casual fight fans! Make the fight we all want to see Arum - Clottey v Pac man 2. Another 12 round action packed thriller!!
Pac-Cotto 2 is his best option for ppv numbers, but I don't give a **** about ppv numbers. I'd much rather see him crush Timothy Bradley, and that fight could happen at either 140 or 147.
I hope Goosen/Team Williams will guarantee a $25 million purse for PAC to fight the giant Paul Williams. With that insane money, there might be a chance PAC will try it.
Pathetic... Can pacman help it if a guy stays in a defensive shell the entire time? He threw over 1000 punches and shut down Clottey like nobody before. And in pacs previous fight there was more action than in Floyds entire career .
