If Pac ever wants to get Mayweather in the ring.... his ability to negotiate a fight just got a whole lot tougher.
Here are the facts:
Against common opponents Mayweather is the bigger draw and Floyd will now demand Pacquiao accept a purse split in Mayweather's favor.
Here are the PPV facts:
Floyd v Hatton 915,000 PPV buys (Pac v Hatton 850,000 PPV buys)
Floyd v DLH 2.4 Mil PPV buys (Pac v DLH 1.25 Mil PPV buys)
Floyd v Marquez 1 Mil PPV buys (Pac v Marquez2 400,000 PPV buys)
With the benefit of Pac v Marquez1, why didn't Pacquiao draw more fans in two fights against Marquez than Mayweather did in one?
In each case the public voted with their dollars and more people prefer to watch Mayweather over Pacquiao vs. common opponents. This fact is indisputable.
Pac Fans you are going to have to come to grips with the fact that if Pac ever wants to fight Floyd he is going to have to take a drug test according to WADA or USADA protocol AND (because Pac wouldn't agree to full testing for the fight in March...) now he is going to have to take the lesser end of the purse split (60/40 minimum) because Mayweather has already proven he is the bigger draw and with the May 1st fight expected to do more than twice what Pacquiao v Clottey did (700,000 ppv buys)..... I'm sorry to say Pac and Bob Arum's job just got a whole lot tougher.
Or he can just choose to walk away.... and retire....
