    Currently (based on their last PPVs) it's Canelo.

    Without getting into specific fights, it's Pac.

    If we look at specific fights, then


    Wlad-Tyson
    Tyson -Deontay
    Canelo-GGG
    GGG-Ward
    Ward-Kov
    Kov-Stevenson

    all look financially lucrative.

    No. It'd still be Pacquiao. 5 million PPV's.

    King Khan. Need i say more.

    Can Canelo sell out 80,000 at Wembley? Nope. King khan can though.

    Of course he did. I'm not saying he didn't. But if we gave each fighter 50% credit of the PPV then it'd still be 2.5 million PPV's for each fighter.

    Do you think Pacquaio/Bradley 3 will surpass Cotto/Canelo in PPV buys?

    Bradley isn't the dance partner Cotto is... Let alone after being beat soundly twice by Pacquiao. The comparison was a nice stretch though.

    Put it this way: if Pacquiao would have fought Cotto this fall, it would've surpassed 1 million. Probably much more.

    I think Bradley is a lot more popular now after his destruction of Brandon Rios. The way he looked, i think will Garner a lot of interest and the way it looks now Bradley will be a lot closer in the sports book going into the third fight. People think Bradley can beat this version of Pacquaio, myself included as you already know. But i do think it does around 900k or surpasses it by a small margin. But i agree Pacquaio is the PPV draw right now, Canelo is a close second. Very close.

    Pac/Bradley won't do big numbers, no one cares anymore.

    It might. Bradley's performance against Rios had a lot of people talking. I think this fight still peaks a lot of interest and will be a smash in the box office mate!

    I don't know, it has a lot of people talking like us, but the casuals I doubt are all that interested, especially since the first two matches weren't all that great.

    Oh man, that second fight was a slobber knocker mate. Pac barely edged tim 7-5 IMO. Bradley beats Pac 7-5 in the third fight. I have people trying to bet me already at work mate, so I'd say people are interested!

    Well let's hope Pac goes out on a high note, but I was hoping for a Pac KO win when I bought the second PPV, so for all that money I spent I was somewhat underwhelmed.

    I got Bradley. We just don't know how Pacs shoulder surgery is going to affect him in the fight. I just hope Bradley wears socks!
