Pac for the simple reason he likes to fight:-
I assume he made a lot of fans when he beat peoples favourite boxers the Barreras, Morales, Cottos, Hatton, De La Hoyas.
Because he comes to fight, he doesn't dance and counter with ten punches per round. He throws lots of punches and has power and speed.
He goes toe to toe, thats what ppl really want to see.
When Mayweather beats his opponent he don't make as much fans because of his non toe to toe tactics of dancing. Mayweather never really goes to obliterate his opponent, he just makes sure he does enough to win a round. He is clever and calculated but that is one of the things that makes him boring to watch.
Floyd never fought Cotto so you can't compare Manny-Cotto to anything. Numbers don't lie, Mayweather is the bigger draw.
EXACTLY!!!!!!! and he will never fight any fuking thing with an actual pulse!!!!! FACT!
its pac because you always kwno that the fights going to happen.
siding with mayweather is like being on a ship on an open storm.
you'll never know if you'll reach port.
mayweather is bad business.
Fact 1: Flyod is Boring ass fighter.
Fact 2: People wants to see Flyod lose 0, thats why they watch fight.
Fact 3: Flyod is still King of all Ducks.
Fact 4: Flyod is scared of Pac, and any legit threats.
End.:omfg:
I think there both big draws, as was evident, with 2 back-to-back million plus viewers for each of there respective fights. However, I think going by the stats, I'd have to give the edge to PBF (with Pacquiao rapidly closing ground on him).
It's always a conspiracy with these flamers.
Here's an idea. Do some research, compile a database of all the polls that have involved Floyd on this site, and then calculate the average approval rate of all of them, eliminating the outliers and representing the mean.
Then I dare you to tell me my statement is still false.
Go.
you cant compare JMM Floyd and Cotto Pac, I agree with Six Shooter there.
Different opponents, different fan bases.
So basically until such a time as Pac faces a same opponent as Floyd and sells more than him, you have a lot of hearsay from the most rabid of pac dicksuckers on one side, and then you have cold hard numerical facts on the other.
quite amusing though
It showed Pacquiao and his opponents were a bigger draw than Mayweather and his opponent. Not that Pac is a bigger draw than Mayweather, the only way to measure that is to take the numbers from the fights against the same opponents and Mayweather sold more in every fight against the same opponents. Mayweather = Bigger draw
PAC- Cotto Bigger payday than Floyd - JMM : Fact
Pacs style and nationality help his case. He is a humble guy in and out the ring and that hurts his drawing power unfortunately.
Floyds skills are unmatched in the sport but his lack of aggresion in the ring hurt his exciting outside the ring personna.
The answer to this question is in the numbers. Compare what both did vs the same 3 opponents.
De La Hoya, Hatton, and JMM. Your answer is Floyd by alot.
When I go to a Pac fight I'm expecting the building to be packed with Passion and Pride. When I go to a Floyd fight I'm expecting the building to be packed by celebs and execs.
how can anyone say Pacquiao after comparing his numbers against De La Hoya and Hatton to Mayweather's? I mean that is your DIRECT, INDISPUTABLE evidence right there. this forum has gone to shit
Did you not see my previous post or are you oblivious to others with differences of opinions? Manny didn't become a household name until he beat DLH and Hatton. Of course Mayweather would sell more ppvs regarding those fights. Nobodys arguing that fact. But you can keep living in the past while others live in the present and the future.
You can't compare numbers against different opponents because the opponents fanbase buy the PPVs too. So Mayweather is the bigger draw until proven otherwise.
You're talking about Mayweather being the bigger draw. Yet 2009 showed Pac was.
