    Pac / Cotto does the biggest numbers, but they won't be bigger than 700K.

    One of the only reasons why the PAC fight agasint Clottey did big numbers was the promotion. People were intersted in 'the event' more than PAC. It was the new Cowboy stadium and people were interested in seeing how it would play out. Yes, many more people went to the fight, but it didn't gross nearly as much money as a Mayweather fight.

    I'm all for PAC / Berto with the winner getting Floyd.

    I'm sure Floyd's done fighting for this year and we'll go through all the fire works next year.

    Cotto lasted longer against Pacquiao and did better than anyone except Marquez. (or 1st fight morales)

    That says something.

    I think Pac-Cotto would do the most sales out of popularity, but it's the one I'd least likely want to see or the least interested to watch. But I'd still watch it, Cotto seems more comfortable at this weight and I think it would go the distance this time.

    Margo would be a big draw.

    Pac could fight anyone and bring in the cash, he is that big.

    Id be okay with any of those fights except Cotto, we have seen that thrashing already.

    Like someone said before, probably Cotto but that PPV would probably be equal to the Clottey PPV at best.

    Then again, all the Margarito fans that believe he's totally innocent would probably buy his fight.

    I'd rather see Pac-Marg than Pac-Cotto, would rather see Pac-Williams or Pac Bradley/Alexander than Cotto/Marg though

    Thats like Mayweather-Mosley 2

    Pac/Cotto will generate more PPV sales than the others IMO. The vast majority of casual fans will probably buy it again. I'd rather see a Pac/Berto title fight if the Pac/FMJ bout doesn't materialize.

    I think the FMJ/Pac fight will get signed because MP has a lot of options. Big names wants a piece of the Pacman. The FMJ camp is rather quiet when it comes to what options they have. Martinez was mentioned but I don't think FMJ will leave the WW div. With not that very many options for FMJ, the only big money out there is a fight w/ MP. Only my opinion, folks.

    If Pacquiao vs Clottey did over 700k then why can't Pacquiao vs Williams generate way over then that? Like 900k? Or maybe a million k? Most here say "who's Paul Williams?" Paul Williams has fought on hbo 8 times but yet casual fans won't know who he is? What they are? Broke that never got hbo before???? Williams is way known then Clottey but yet Pacquiao vs Clottey did over 700 buys. And lets say many casual fans don't know who Williams is, if they see the staredown in the press of Manny looking way up on Williams, many casual fans will say "Damn look at the size of Williams. That's impossible of Pacquiao to over come this." "I'll pay to see it to see if Pacquiao is really "the" all time great."

    From that list Margarito/Cotto bring Pac the biggest PPV #s.
    That said, If JMM can look good Vs. Diaz in the rematch.

    Just sayin'
