    Not "according to Dios". the numbers are what they are. dios didn't make them up.


    The thing that is funny to me is that y'all are acting like ANY of this is new for Floyd. That's how I can tell the newbie fans.

    YEARS AGO, the executives at HBO offered Floyd a $12 million contract. At the time nobody but boxing insiders really knew him. Floyd dissed them calling it "slave wages".

    Why do you not remember that? Why is any of this new to y'all?

        b) To answer your question, Mayweather-Judah sold more than ANYTHING Pac ever did. No 24/7, and Judah was coming off a loss, had no HBO history, and participated ZEROZEROZERO in the promotion of the fight.

        That's your answer.

        Hell, Floyd did about as much with a feather-duster salesman as Pac did with legendary Mexican "A" fighters.

        True Story.
        Selling more than Pac who isn't an american isn't really much of an accomplishment.

        How about putting up Floyds numbers with Oscars, who actually is american and has a wider fan base?

        and please, lets not lie about no promotion for the Judah fight because there were plenty of commercials for it in my area.

        So again, this question isn't about doing more numbers than Pacquiao, its about what has he done with his name only?

        Answer-just as much as everyone else who isn't Oscar De La Hoya, you know, the boxing star you'd like Mayweather to be.

            I want to see the Valero fight. It is a style and someone PAc hasn't faced in a while.

People NEED to see Pav fight Abraham. You can't just go to the top. Dlh won gold, had a fan friendly style, and earned his way to the top. Floyd took the hard route, but he got their. Pac did it with his fists as did PAv, but Pac faced someone who could fight like Morales, he looked ordinary. Pav just hasn't proven himself yet. We need to see Pav fight someone who can fight, not call guys out. He can fight, fight Abraham.
              Floyd has never been the biggest name in boxing, ever. All Oscar has to do is raise a finger in the air and the attention immediately goes from Mayweather to Oscar.

                Nobody compares to dlh's ppv numbers. It is funny that you ****ched your style up though for the sake of your weak argument. lol

                    NOBODY has been (or likely WILL be) the commercial draw that Oscar is/was. So, if that is your benchmark, then everyone else is a failure.

                    You saw commercials for FMJ-zab....did you see any with Zab in them? Did you see any zab interviews? maybe you got some special Mexcican TV station in East Los. But Zab did NOT participate in the promotion. After the presser, zab disapperared until fight night. this is too easy to prove...don't stake your credibility on that.


                    I just told you what FMJ did with his name only. The Judah fight did more than Pac/MAB and pac/Erik. And the baldomir fight did more than ANY other Pac fight.

                    You can't win a boxing business argument with me. Stick to opinions.
