This article is a good thing for the sport of boxing that Mayweather can fight a non-top 20 fighter and still draw 1.15 and pacquiao can fight a fossil in mosley and do 1.3 ppv buys.
Boxings competition is UFC & WWE which highest ppv buys this year have been 800K and WWE being around 650K for domestic.
With Pac vs Marquez 3 coming up it looks like boxing will have highest 3 ppv buys in all combat sports for the year as pac vs marquez 3 will do at least 900K and could do as high as 1.4 ppv buys do to their history and mexicans buying it.
So instead of wasting so much time arguing who draws more, who makes more between pacquiao and mayweather. Lets focus on what we all are which is boxing fans and our sport has the 3 biggest ppvs of the year. I hope I was right by saying boxing fans as alot of writers seem like pac or mayweather fans and could care less about the sports success.
I agree that it is horrible that pacquiao vs mayweather has not happened. However, are you telling me you wouldnt buy martinez vs pacquiao or mayweather?????
Boxing wont die there will always be superstars to help sell the sport which has been happening from leonard, to tyson, to holyfield to lewis, to de la hoya to mayweather to pacquiao and so on.
Also I expect with the 2 episodes of 24/7, cotto being the 3rd biggest draw, and his rematch being with a brutal fight with lots of controversy with margairto, and the huge mexico vs puerto rico rviarly. I think cotto vs marg 2 can do 600k as the first one did 450k and this one has a 24/7, huge controversy and common fan knows both of their names for fighting pacquiao.
all i do know is i'm not tuning in on ppv fights anymore after this marquez jmm fight.
what kind of average fan wants to see pac vs senchenko or pac vs mike jones like get real here. All we give a **** about is mayweather pacquiao. if it doesnt happen next im done

I buy the pay per views because there is nothing else to buy. The promoters are sucking this sport dry until one day there will be no boxing. Boxing will turn into jujitsu or something which will never be televised and no ppv. Who wants to pay to watch jujitsu? Do you see Jujitsu on ppv? Boxing will be dead within the next 10 years all because of the promoters never giving us the fights we want and people will stop tuning in.
And in all honesty I will not buy any more boxing ppv's if Mayweather and Pacquiao dont fight after this bull **** marquez fight. I cant take this **** no more
