    How do you think it would do? Could it sell over 40,000 tickets?

    No one would buy it because they would consider it cherrypicking.

    noone would consider Clottey cherrypicking he is the definition of a bad risk/reward opponent. Marquez was considered cherrypicking and it got a million buys.

    noone would buy it because Clottey isn't a draw

    But what about Floyd, he would be the draw?

    yes, first off that 40K mark is a bit inflated, a large portion of those tickets were bought when Margarito was on the card, he could easily account solo for 5K of those tickets. But getting back to my point, If Golden Boy had full control over the card then yes a Mayweather-Clottey card could do those kind of numbers. First off Mayweather would trash talk and Clottey would get pumped up by De La Hoya. Secondly, this would be a realistic Undercard

    Juan Manuel Marquez-Michael Katsidis
    Rocky Juarez-Juan Diaz
    James Kirkland-Anyone
    And some other prospects for the non-televised portion. Golden Boy has an abundance of fighters from the state of Texas in their stable.

    So here how it is, Mayweather-Clottey by themselves would sell 40K, these remaining fights would probably sell another 10K combined. So It might actually be larger than Pacquiao-Clottey.

    It would be a shitty fight and a mismatch just like Pacquiao-Clottey.

    they would have to give tickets away and maybe even paying people to be there.

    With a stacked undercard it probably could, but I don't think it could by themselves. Neither guy has the following Pac does, and PBF/Marquez couldn't sell out MGM and the undercard that night was decent plus Marquez has more of a following than Clottey.

    What?

    I'm the most strident floyd hater in town and I'd give the man some huge credit.

    ANYONE who fights clottey is taking up a hard fight.

    Its not cherry picking... Clottey is a legitimate top 10 welter. somthing floyd has not fought in a while. last full fleged welter fight was back in 06 against baldomir.

    Less live gate and higher PPV numbers.

    My honest opinion? It's a bull**** fight. Clottey is not going to beat Pacquiao. No way no how.

    But really how many bull**** fights did Floyd make a name off of? Hm..lets count here.

    Ndou
    Brusseles
    Mitchell
    Baldomir

    I'm sure I'm leaving someone out. Don't forget Arum also guided Mayweather. All those bull**** fights there happened consistently, back to back.

    I can understand boxers having an easy fight once in a while and I think Pacquiao deserves it. I just hope it doesn't turn into a trend.
