I dnt think ppv numbers matter. We need a good fight and we'll get that with marquez vs pacquiao, even if it only lasts a couple of rounds.
mosely was /fresher/younger /faster/stronger/punched harder /and did not have any size or length disadvantages when fighting at 135 that he encountered when he moved up to welterweight. watch the handspeed /conditioning and punching power of the 135 mosely and he was a very special fighter. at 147 mosely was a very good fighter , beat dlh , but equally lost twice to vernon forest. at 135 mosley was a beast.
If Mayweather won't get in with Pac, the only other significant fight is Marquez. Think about it this way...Nobody wanted to see Pac vs. Clottey, but we all watched it anyway. Absolutely nobody was excited about Pac vs. Cheato, but we all bought that too. Marquez on the other hand has had competitive fights with Pac, is a future hall of fame fighter and has been a world champion. Class wise, Marquez is an A level fighter where Clottey is a B level and Cheato is maybe B+. Also, the OP was right. Mexicans and Pinoys will go nuts for Pac vs. Marquez, as well boxing fans. There really isn't anyone else out there for Pac, unless he wants to get nuts and fight Martinez...which I think he will lose, so Marquez is the best option for him. Marquez, then give Floyd one last offer and if he declines, then retire.
omg, you're my least favorite person on this site. Nobody is touching MAyweathr and Pacqiao right now. Mosley doesn't do **** and Marquez doesn't either. Mosley will get Manny the most buys, but it won't be that much more than he'd make with marquez
