De La Hoya vs Mayweather... the 2.4 mil PPV buys were because of Oscar...

Why you think MGM grand will always be willing to outbid Dallas on a floyd fight..

If floyd wasn't a draw he would not be fighting on PPV......and Mark Tafet wouldn't be telling us he has reignited urban markets with the data about terrestrial and satellite buys that passes his desk............ sorry Pac fans HBO bosses say Floyd is a drawcard.....and a big one!!!!

Dont forget this fight was even promoted during the superbowl as the fights of all fights and to the mainstream media the fight that was going to save boxing which in the end probably just ended up hurting the sport because alot fo people that havent watched boxing in years are ever tuned into that fight.

LOLzzz You know why KFC vs JMM gained more PPV number??? coz every boxing fans believes that JMM can beat KFC. and not because they are watching KFC.... those people want to see KFC loss to JMM but they were wrong at all.. moron alert......

Pacquiao vs Mayweather could break that record and it won't be because of Floyd. Them numbers will belong to Manny. There is a certain Pacquiao craze that has now overcome boxing. The casual sports fan now knows about the Filipino P4P king. You would never see such a photo if Mayweather was fighting Clottey... http://i42.tinypic.com/2dtpq81.jpg What a dumb ass post. You are actually trying to convince people that Oscar de la Hoya, whose previous high PPV number was 1.4 million, and whose fight just before the Mayweather fight (Ricardo Mayorga) only drew 600,000 was solely responsible for drawing 2.4 million fans in a fight against a fighter you consider a nobody (Mayweather). And then you turn around and try to tell us that a guy (Pacquaio) who could only draw 1.2 million in the biggest fight of his career will draw 2.5 to 3 million PPV against a guy you consider a nobody (Mayweather), but those numbers will be solely due to Pacquaio. This stupid ass argument has been made numerous times on this site and it has even less credibility now than it did six months ago. I don't doubt that you believe this crap, but you probably also believe that the earth is flat and the moon is yellow, therefore it must be made of cheese!

shut yo biasd ass up.wat was pacs ppv numbers for marqez compeard to floyds agan? thats right now shut up LOLzzz You know why KFC vs JMM gained more PPV number??? coz every boxing fans believes that JMM can beat KFC. and not because they are watching KFC.... those people want to see KFC loss to JMM but they were wrong at all..

Yes, did you know the 1.05mil that bought marquez-mayweather only bought the ppv because of marquez nobody cared anout mayweather he's just a cash cow mayweather used to make himself look better....LOL So if people watch it for Marquez. What happened to Marquez vs Diaz. or Casamayor vs Marquez? Pacquiao vs Marquez?

PACQUAIO s last fight 1.4 million Floyd s last fight only 1.0 million Numbers dont lie,people do! how mnay u think mayweather v mosley will get

there is a few reasons why De La Hoya vs Mayweather did better than Pacquiao.. and it's not because of popularity. 1) People thought that De La Hoya was back.. he looked good against a decent opponent in Mayorga. 2) Mayweather got to him first.. after Mayweather people knew that De La Hoya didnt have it in him. 3) the economy was much better at the time The mainstream knows who Ricardo Mayorga is? The average Boxing fan, would have just seen it as De La Hoya vs a tuneup. No one cares who Ricardo Mayorga is within the mainstream. You have a point about the first dibs thing, Also I'd say it's a stretch to say the economy was MUCH better at the time. Thing's are going from bad to worse. The economy got that much worse in a year and a half, for Manny to sell 1.8 or however many million less than Mayweather did(IIRC Pacquiao did 1.5 million and Mayweather did 2.4).

How much did Oscar-Pac do again? End failed troll attempt Stupid pactards

Here is what it boils down to, if FLoyds selling numbers are big, its because there are people who want to see him get his punk butt whooped, floyd has less fans and more haters - Mosley will kick his butt - then lil floyd will turn into a nice guy after that.

Well the Marquez PAC fight was in the same economic climate as the mayweather Marquez and it did a little more than doubled it in ppv numbers. So it works both ways. But mayweather is a bigger draw not even close. BOTH SIDES NEED TO STOP WITH THE PPV TALK.....Marquez/Pac I and II were only known to hardcore boxing fans, and the Pactards hadn't caught wind of him yet, again...casual fans starting paying attention when they started hearing..."Marquez won both the fights against Pac".....so naturally they wanted to see how he would do against Floyd...figure if Pac can move up in weight, so can the #2 p4p guy right? Floyd is GREAT at what he does..."Hit/Not get hit" and "Promote his fights"......

Without HBO 24/7 Floyd would still be doing 350k w/ Zab Judah. Manny doesn't need 24/7's to sell fights. I think that is taking it too far but I agree with the argument that Floyd relies on the promotional machine to generate hype a lot more than Pacquiao.

Without a doubt Pacquiao is the most popular star though.. I can't go to the mall without seeing Pacquiao clothing, Pacquiao advertisements in shoe stores, etc. He is also sponsored by just about everybody.. Mayweather, not so much.. who other than AT&T? Like Clottey said, Pacquiao is a global phenomenon.. people in Africa, Asia, Europe and all over the world know who he is and love him.. Floyd, not soo much. Well the Marquez PAC fight was in the same economic climate as the mayweather Marquez and it did a little more than doubled it in ppv numbers. So it works both ways. But mayweather is a bigger draw not even close.

There won't be any ppv's for the Pacquiao-Mayweathe fight because Shane Mosley is gonna ruin htat fight.

perro puts the best bait out there :D Mak, My Dubz put on a better fight last night than Clottey did against Manny..... Kobe: "We diddn't learn anything from this game, cuz you don't see these types of teams in the Playoffs"......translation...."Warriors suck balls right now" Was at the game...great atmosphere, over 20K fans, (of both teams) and everyone got free Big Macs......:439:

Yeah, because this hasn't been done to death.

Yeah sure, How much did Pacquiao vs. ODLH make?

How much did Oscar-Pac do again? ^^^^^^^This
