Floyd is the biggest PPV draw and has been on PPV the last 4 yrs ... 6 out of his last 7 fights ... and the only one that wasn't PPV was when he made his welterweight debut. He's produced some of the biggest fights in the history of boxing ... and during his retirement - he still managed to outsell all PPV combine since his retirement. It doesn't matter who either are fighting ... with all three common opponents ... Floyd outsold the fights than Pacquiao did with those guys, so it's evident that Mayweather is the bigger draw. And i'm sure that Mayweather vs Cotto would've sold more than Pacquiao v Cotto at the time that they fought. Floyd will always sell more because people want to see him face adversity and possibly lose ... that's a bigger incentive that any fighter can bring to PPV.
Before Oscar, Floyd was still on PPV ... he did pretty good numbers against non-ppv fighters ... Pacquiao has also been more active than Floyd so that graph doesn't have any validity.
So if Pac and JMM were to go at it one more time on PPV, would the fight only do around the same numbers (400,000) or slightly better?
How is Floyd on the decline? Comparing the PPVs is stupid. Cotto vs Pac did 1.2. Mayweather-Marquez did 1.0 Mayweather-Cotto would be 1.5. Floyd-Pac would be record breaking numbers. Floyd is the bigger draw but not by much.
IF you took Pac's nuts out of your mouth you see that Mayweather-Cotto before Pac fought him, was a bigger fight than Pac-Cotto.
Right now? That fight looks like a mismatch after Pac's win over Cotto and Marquez being beaten senseless by Mayweather. That fight would do maybe 500,000
Whao.....whoa....be easy there Suzie. Don't get all upset and act like I just took your girl from up under your arm. You talk about having nuts in someone's mouth but as you type on your keybaord you got Floyd's juniors dripping from your chin:rofl... get off your knees and if you want to have a boxing discussion then stop bringing up your hobbies and passing them off on other folks b/c you are too embarassed to come out of that closet you and your buddies frequent. :good
I'm sure glad you have a keyboard to communicate EZE, b/c I know it must be hard juggling Floyds sack in your mouth while trying to talk the weak sauce you spit.
