Despite what people say in regards to Floyd fighting in Texas this Fall, It's not hard to imagine.
The following is a YouTube clip of Floyd with Cowboys Stadium owner Jerry Jones (and George bush jr). This doesn't prove anything but Floyd looks as if he could be persuaded by Jones to follows manny's path in bringing big fights to Texas.

Thanks for the figures. I think it's pretty clear that Floyd being the American fighter will continue to dominate the numbers.

Do you have any figures of Mayweathers attendance record?
Well its proven that he outsells Pacquiao on PPV numbers. Pretty much EVERY Mayweather PPV has sold out at MGM grand, so we really don't know how he would do in Dallas.
He would have to have a Mexican there to draw, and thats only because Texas isn't big on boxing.
its a proven FACT that floyd ALWAYS OUTSELLs pac.
so floyd would draw higher numbers than pac. these are facts that cant be disputed

I'm not sure how well Floyd will draw at Jerryworld. Dallas isn't a huge boxing town, and Jerryworld was the worst venue, to watch boxing live, I've ever been to (seats were simply too far away, and we had 'good' seats).
If Floyd fight in D, he better fight a Mexican with a strong following imo.
Do you think Ortiz is capable of getting the Mexicans behind him? They seem wary of him for some reason
