Comments Thread For: Arum Not Worried About Pacquiao Matching Floyd's Stats

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As long as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather do not face each other in the ring, their careers will remain comparable through individual performances as well as at the box office.

The two biggest draws in the sport are also the top two rated fighters in pound-for-pound rankings among nearly every respectable publication. Pacquiao held the lead while Mayweather remained inactive, though many felt that the Filipino icon’s struggling performance in his third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez last November was enough to shake things up at the top.

how has mayweather not had 4 consecutive in a row? de la hoya, hatton, marquez, mosley, ortiz, cotto. those all were over a million ppv buys. but **** heads are gonna be like "well he retired after hatton" but either way. thats six straight so how is **** boy pacman gonna be the first to crack four.

[CHOWWOKKA]

If it's more then 1.3 it's a bullsh1t number.

If Pac fought Cotto on Cinco de mayo, the fight shouldve did 1.6 or more, 90% of the fans were Cotto, if it was Cotto vs Pac that night, 60/40 fan ratio.

Bob Arum is making excuses already, because he already knows the numbers won't be good.

Hatton wasn't a mili buys...It was close but it wasn't. You're right though he has had 4 in a row, from JMM-Cotto.

You should be worried.

Pac-Bradley will bomb, HARD. I know people who claim to be pacroid fans and they didn't even know he has a fight coming up. They don't even know who his opponent is lmao

also lol @ Arum making excuses for when it does bomb

Cotto is the #3 active PPV boxer. Canelo Alvarez was the co-main event on Cinco de Mayo. Yet, Floyd gets all the credit for 1.5 million PPV buys??

No offense, but IF Floyd is the #1 draw, the addition of Cotto & Canelo should've jumped the PPV buys to at least 1.7 to 1.8 million buys.

Mayweather-Ortiz did 1.2 million buys, even though many insiders claim it did under 1 million. Adding Cotto and Canelo makes up the difference.

Since Manny is the true #1 ppv draw, why didn't he do this large of numbers with the 3rd biggest draw in the sport?

Of course he's not. I'm pretty sure there's a good reason why no official #'s have been released for a Pacquiao fight in quite some time. And it has nothing to do with matching Floyd and everything to do with the numbers being quite embarrassing on their own.
