    Let's take a sample, albeit a more hardcore example of fans.

    Let's try to figure this PPV buy/draw business out. Everyone seems to think that other fighters and promotion play no role in how a fight does financially, and the numbers all belong to one individual, so let's just see something.

    Why would you pay to see Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather jr?

    Is pac the draw, is floyd the draw, or are they both equally the inspiration for this mega fight?

    Why did 2.7M pay to see Floyd fight Oscar?Why did 1.4M pay to see Floyd fight Shane?(4M PPV's sold in 2 fights.)

    Who gives a damn.They pay to see Floyd and more have paid to see Floyd than Manny.Deal with it.

    Oscar's biggest PPV before Floyd was 1.4M.Floyd did more than pull his own weight.

    Should we say 1.2M paid to see Cotto fight.As evidenced by the 700K vs Clottey.

    Plus Floyd/Hatton did 925K

    Pacq/hatton did 850K

    You're welcome for the facts

    Cotto was a large part of the pac fight's success.

    So wait, are you claiming floyd was the draw vs oscar?

    To see the best fighters of this era get it on, for the welterweight championship of the world and for P4P supremacy.

    He added a million more PPV than Oscar had ever seen.They broke the bank and set a record.

    Floyd invented 24/7 and it worked well and it still works.

    Bigger name was Oscar, I don't think anyone will dispute that.

    People wanted to see their fishnetted loverboy test his talents against the best fighter in the sport. That's why it did 2.4MM
