So Pacquiao is BIGGER than Kovalev and Ward?

Bald_Shavers9y ago

Pacquiao vs Unknown generated 300k ppv Kovalev vs Ward, the pound for pound fight, generated 160k I guess the Pac/Floyd era still ain't over. Pacquiao just beat BOTH of the two fighters that are in the top 3 P4P. Hopefully, Lomachenko continues to do well and gets promoted well so that the next era can finally arrive.

Only Canelo and Pacquiao can do big numbers. Ward and Kovalev are unknown to the general public that comes over when someone has a boxing party at their house.

9y ago

UH...YEAH! Pacquiao still the biggest fuking draw in boxing even over Canelo!

Pacquiao vs Crawford should do some good #'s

Frankly, I have very little interest in the heavier divisions. MW and above don't intrigue me. There's just nobody up there that has the star quality that excites fans. It's 126 to 154 for me, although the welterweight division to me is still the one with the most number of viewable fighters.

So HBO dumped Pacman to make 4/1 of the money they would make with him?

Neither Kovalev, nor Ward, attract casuals.

9y ago

you're confused as to how Pacquiao is the biggest name in boxing?

9y ago

Its the GGG, pacquiao duckelo era.

9y ago

was there ever any question?

9y ago

Hey I just found out the sky is blue and the earth is round too

9y ago

why is this breaking news? Pretty much this. Whoever didnt know this needs to focus on the sport a little bit. Manny is one of the biggest PPV draw EVER. I dont know why we need to be surprised abt it...

9y ago

:lol1: It took you this long to figure this out? Check out Einstein over here...

9y ago

why is this breaking news? Was asking myself the same thing. Found it funny as heck that people were actually shocked the Ward vs Kovalev fight did 160K. Man people need to pay attention.

why is this breaking news?

9y ago
