    I like it how all credit is going to Manny Pacquiao. Silly *******s. There are other fighters on that bill you know, namely Miguel Cotto - who will have a huge following going to the fight too. :verysad

    There is a reason Pacquiao reportedly gets 65% share. If PPV fails, he gets all the demerits as well just like Floyd.

    I'm not bothered by this as UFC is aired free in the Philippines. They also replay it 3 times a week.

    UFC 105 is nice for the British fans. Probably has less appeal elsewhere.

    Pac carries the fight because he is boxing's #1 P4P while Cotto is #8. Any fight that Pac promotes is certified gold at turnstile.

    Oscar De La Hoya would sell more tickets than Pacquiao even if he wasn't rated on the P4P list. It has nothing to do with it.

    I have no issues with attributing a lot of the sales to Manny Pacquiao, but Miguel Cotto is his opponent - and he brings a lot to table aswell.

    49 year old Ray Mercer destroyed Tim Sylvia - one of UFCs top boys and that shows you how skilled that sport is. Mercer was excellent in his day but imagine what would happen to him if he got in the ring with the klitchkos now. I know there boring but i would still bet theyd do a number on Mercer now.

    Of course, it takes 2 to tango... but definitely the main man is Pacquiao...;)

    Not really, UFC 103 is a weak card for the casual fans. Its decent for the hardcore fans.

    UFC President Dana White once said....

    .... there was only one boxer he's feared battling head-to-head and that was Oscar De La Hoya. He mentioned Pacman is the only other guy that he'd would have second thoughts about counterprogramming...

    :hi:

    Pac-Cotto $49.95
    UFC 105 Free
    Argument Ridiculous

    The true yardstick who wins comes Sept.19.:deal
