Would PBF draw 51K to a stadium vs a Clottey-level name in somewhere like Dallas?

    We keep hearing about what a huge draw Mayweather is. Seems to me like he chooses opponents who have big ppv potential, and fights them in 16,000 capacity casinos.

    If Floyd were to face a Clottey-level name, and fight him in a stadium far from Las Vegas, would this "cash cow" draw a crowd in the region of 51,000?

    It's all about PPV numbers, that's where the serious money comes from, no one gives a **** about $33 tickets in a huge stadium.

    Mayweather made nearly as much PPV numbers fighting Marquez than Pac did fighting none other than DLH.

    No, he would not. However, he is the bigger PPV draw by a small margin.

    Wow Pacquaio drew 1,000,000 people all paying $2 for a ticket. Floyd drew in 2,000 people all paying $2,000 for a ticket. Floyd wins again.

    Why are *******s so naive?

    Ask yourself this *******. Why did the Mayweater fight KILL the Clottey fight on gate? Why? Because a good percentage of the Pac/Clottey tickets were dirt cheap and/or giveaways.

    ANY top name fighter with Pac or Mayweather's current momentum could fill a stadium with dirt cheap tickets. The gate tells the whole story.
