    Mayweather takes more pride in how many fights he sold than how he actually looks in the fight.

    You can bet if Mosley-Mayweather considerably out sells Pac-Clottey, PBF will demand the bigger split.

    Void thinks he owns boxing, but he is boring as Hell and ran from Pac. Pac is exciting, Void puts me to sleep.

    Funny how Void fans claim he is the most exciting fighter in boxing history, yet Klitschkos are the most boring because they usually stop their opponents.

    well, records would indicate that mosley is not what you would call a PPV attraction. floyd is the draw in that fight, but he's made himself a draw from different reasons than pacquiao, actually floyd is the opposite. floyd is not an exciting boxer. floyd doesn't have fans screaming for him when he enters the ring, but what floyd has found out is you can become a draw by having fans hate you aswell as love you, which even ali said that's why he was so popular earlier in his career. floyd also puts more promotion into his fights. like i said floyd's not exciting, so he has to work harder in the promotion to sell, which is why all his fights have 24/7, that's why floyd appears on tv so much, it's all to do with promotion, and now he's probably the biggest draw in boxing because of that. floyd will out sell pacquiao, not just because he's fighting mosley, but because he's the bigger draw than pacquiao for all the different reasons. the promotion from arum regarding the pacquiao-clottey fight has been rather poor, but the fight will still sell, because it's pacquiao, but it won't do as good as floyd-mosley.

    regarding floyd and marquez selling one million being a shock, well i know if you asked all the supposed experts regarding that fight, you wouldn't of got many saying it'll do one million. roach himself said the fight will flop, saying no one is going to pay to see that? he's right, the fight had boring written all over it, so there must be a different reason other than excitement why floyd sells, and the quicker people realise that, the better.

    Get the **** outta here with that economic climate bull****. It's just a desperate excuse by *******s to deflect from the truth. The truth is that PBF is the bigger draw and has outdone him in all 3 fights with common opponents. What will be your excuse when PBF-Mosley destroys Pac-Clottey?:hi::deal

    :-( Jesus, you go from one point to a totally different thing....So please explain to me when did I ever claim Floyd should get more than a 50\50 split??? Please go back and point that out to me because I dont remember even speaking on that...My whole arguement is that Mayweather is a bigger PPV attraction than Manny is...I've stated that several times and why in the **** did you assume I was talking about Floyd getting more than a 50\50 split...Stop making **** up and stop assuming ****...It makes you look like you're just reaching...You're only using this **** to try to make you flawed logic reasonable...That **** aint gone cut it!:lol:

    You keep on bringing up this Bush Era bull**** like you have a legit case...Thats nothing more than a cop out excuse...**** happens and if we judge things because of certain problems then we could nitpick at any little thing and make excuses for them.

    Since you want to dismiss the previous PPV of Floyd then so be it...but if you only going by 2009 then you're right...Manny\Cotto did out sell Floyd\JMM but given that JMM\Floyd was suppose to flop it did DAMN good #'s...When Floyd\Mosley out sells Clottey\Pacman...will you still use this flawed logic that you've been using???

    Will you still try to make a case for Manny being a bigger PPV attraction than Floyd??? I know you will probably try to look for some shitty reason to try to downplay it!

    Stop acting like you have a legit point because you dont...And tell your bithcass, butt buddy Lance to keep my name out of his mouth.:good
