    How many of you PBF's fans here in ESB have actually packed your bags and headed to Vegas to witness one his fights in person?


    Because in my personal experience, I was always said Tito was a draw so when it came time for a Tito fight I would tell the wifey months in advance no matter what Im going to Vegas, NYC or Miami to attend the fight even if it means missing work or whatever else may pop up. So I got see Tito-Oscar, Tito-Vargas, Tito-Thiam and Cotto-Mosley plus I also missed work twice to see the Houston press conferences for the Tito-Oscar fight which was at the old Astrodome and the press conference for Tito-Vargas at the Guadalupe Plaza in east Houston. Thats what I consider a "draw"....

    US fighters rarely have that kind of a following. Look at the likes of floyd, mosley and hopkins even Rjj....they dont draw fans like that.

    FMJ is more of a draw when it comes to PPVs than ticket sales

    Exactly cus a fan will only put up with so much, a 50 dolla PPV sale to be put to sleep is the most his own fans are willing to dish out, no way will they throw out a couple hundred on a ticket by a ticket to fly out to vegas while paying for a hotel etc.....


    Floyd fans know that if they spend one red cent more than 50 dollars they will not get their moneys worth.

    It's all about PPV buys anyway, that's where the money comes from.

    But how can that be calculated? How we know PBF fans are the ones buying the PPV, you see?

    I never said it means nothing, the real money comes from PPV buys that's what they pay attention to the most. When I say that's what matters more it doesn't mean they don't give a **** about tickets, unless you're stupid enough to think that way.

    How many 1000dollar tickets are sold that are going to match 50-100million in PPV money?
