Manny Pacquiao has the type of drawing power to where a boxing fan would actually think about flying out to see him fight because of how exciting his fights are. With Floyd youd rather just stay home and watch on t.v.
thats a load of crap I know plenty of Mayweather fans who have traveled to his fights
:haha: I know he is... I don't know why Floyd fans want to act like if Pac is not a draw?
but im not..and i do think Pacqiuiao is a big draw but not a bigger one than Mayweather
Floyd will never draw more than Manny in live gate
never
he has no homebase and no nationalistic base and IMO those two are needed in some combination to draw live audiences
True. And it's always been like that. I don't know why this is such a surprise. I don't even understand why it matters at all since none of the fans on this site are getting anything out of it.
Is Floyd not an ATG fighter? 2yrs layoff? So what? Ali in a 3 and half year lay off didn't make a fighter move up a weight-class to fight him. He fought a top 10 HW in his first fight back against Jerry Quarry. Ray Leonard after a 3yr layoff didn't make a fighter move up TWO weight-classes actually Leonard went UP a weight-class, a weight-class he never fought in before and fought THE #1 MW, an ATG in Marvin Hagler. And, Floyd couldn't find a WW to fight after an 18month layoff? And, he is suppose to be an ATG?
P4P is not a weight-class. It does not matter where he is ranked P4P, it matters where he was ranked in the division.
When Duran beat Leonard he was already proven at WW. Was JMM proven at WW?
When Shane beat Oscar, he was already proven at WW. Was JMM proven at WW?
When JMM beat Diaz, one JMM only moved one weight-class not two like he did with Floyd. And, JMM was proven at LW.
And, lets not forget it took a natural disaster of epic porportions to make him fight Shane. Because, Floyd was really close to fight Malignaggi in March 13, at the MGM grand.
He didn't have to fight Shane if he didn't want to. Nobody put a gun to his head. Mosley was always plan B but he was scheduled to fight Berto. When he became available they made the fight. The disaster didn't "make" Mayweather fight Mosley. Mayweather could have fought anybody he chose to and he chose Mosley.
just jealousy.
they're very jealous and very defensive.
they act like floyd.
They are idiots. They even want to say the parking was free... How do they come up with this shit?

I and many felt Marquez beat Pacquiao so once again he was a gauge test. Shane Mosley moved up two weight classes to fight De la Hoya. Leonard only fought Hagler after Hagler told him how he was declining in the latter stages of his career which is why Hagler was pissed at Leonard. You actually brought Ali into this wow. Well Ali who was off for three and a half yrs was flat out broke and the biggest money available was at heavyweight and the man who demolished Liston was not going to be allowed to fight a bum and get paid greatly for it. But I'm not going to argue with or debate with you at all because the fact still remains Mayweather fans wouldn't care to watch him fight Clottey a guy who has lost all his biggest fights but Pac fans will and that's the difference. And I leave you with this gem-When Valero moves up to 140 and fights quality opposition caveman will be extinct.

Please give me your honest answer, i want to laugh.
of course he would. Im sure the fact that the undercard had a great mexican on mexican fight made played big roll in texas
ok Jerry Jones bought like 40,000 tickets so what Pacquiao sold 10,000 tickets to some Filipino people and such a big draw
You honestly believe JJ bought 40,000 tickets?
HELL NO...but thats what i said about Pacquiao clottey too.... and i was wrong
...i think i might be underestimating clottey's drawing power
:dunno: .....:thinking:
OSIRIS was saying the Ghanains were rolling deep.
