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

    24/7 does not have the same for Pac's PPV #'s because he has the charisma of a brown potato.

    The same argument can be made in Pac's favor if you're talking about gate draw. Floyd fought in his hometown and barely drew flies.

    Does "hands down" mean that you put down your pencils and don't count? That is what it must mean because all of the numbers/facts disagree with you. If what you say is true then why in the hell did Mayweather's gate destroy Pac's gate by almost double?

    No, his idiot fans only buy PPV's

    'Armchair glory supporters' I call them.

    How many do you think would travel abroad to support Floyd?:rofl

    It's possible only with Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting each other.

    I responded to that too. PPV sales are just a window in to the popularity of a contest. Like I said, Zab, had his career taken a path more similar to Clottey's, would have out drawn Clottey any day all day.

    You are comparing apples to fire engines because they both happen to be red. It doesn't make much sense.

    So you go on to further solidify the notion that Pac fans are not only morons, but financially illiterate morons. :lol:

    doesn't even matter....

    floyd's gate vs mosley is better than pacquiao's gate against cotto and he had 4x's as many people



    you lose *****

    if you really think that mayweater vs clottey would sell as much as pac vs clottey,something is wrong,when i mentioned judah,i was talking about today judah,not old judah when he was somewhat regarded as a good fighter

    Huh? Mayweather versus EVERYBODY that Pac fought does better numbers! What alternate reality are you living in? Who? ODLH? Hatton? JMM? So you think Clottey is the exception not the rule?

    I know you did consider today's Judah. Today's Judah is NOT equivalent to today's Clottey who is still a highly regarded fighter. Like I said it is an apples to fire trucks comparison.
