Is Mayweather really that big a draw?

[Ishy Aytan]

You do.


900,000

erm ****head... i asked how much ppv numbers that fight took... I didnt say it took 900,000. Dumb ****.

Mr 'Roy Jones and Floyd ducked the best fighters'... You make these ****** posts and have the nerve to critisize me for asking a question.

Yeh, im the most terrible poster here... ermmm, coming from the guy that is Floyds most passionate hater, does'nt make me surpised by your ****** comments.

I was obviously wrong about the ppv numbers hence why i said can someone confirm... and it did around half of what i thought. I was'nt entirely sure hence why i asked.

Unlike your posts.... 'Floyds ducking Cotto and Margarito because he's a sacred *****'... who sounds more ******, me or you? Clown.

Don't let him get to you mate, even if he ever acts ****y, sarcastic, or arrogant... just ignore him. If you bite to what he says he will only carry on. I know people can be annoying on this forum (I'm not saying the guy you argued with is annoying... hes done nothing to me) though so I understand what you were saying.

But my posts are true.

Yours are just ridiculous.

900,000?

Seriously?

Before DLH and Hatton?

What year did you start watching boxing?

2009?

Mayweather may not draw the crowds but he will sell the PPVs. People want to see him get his ass kicked.

People are disillusioned, Floyd has many fans.

I think that is only true for the Hatton fight. Around 6k came over to see Malignaggi which i think is half of what went to Mayweather. But Gatti has sold out the Boardwalk hall in his last several fights before Mayweather. And we all know De La Hoya sold out crowds against all fighters of recent years

6000 is 5000 more than probably any nation has ever sent to watch a fighter on foreign soil.
Its not cheap to fly, hotel , ticket and party for a week.
Its not his faithful had given, up just economics.

In boxing we all know Floyd Pretty Boy Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing, or at least one of the biggest. But how big of a draw is he really? I am talking in terms of people paying to go see him live in an arena.

These are his mega fights.

Mayweather-Hatton. I think around 80 percent were pro Hatton and traveled half way around the world to see Hatton.

Mayweather-De La Hoya. Larry Merchant "About 90 percent of the crowd is pro de la hoya"

Judah-Mayweather. Good crowd this could be the fight where he was the draw or the combination of a great undercard it had.

Mayweather-Gatti. 12k plus sold out at the Boardwalk Hall. Gatti's popularity and fight style in that area generated the live attendence. Mayweather fought Demarcus Corley in the same arena and didnt bring in half of what the gatti fight did.


If Mayweather fought Pacquiao, Margarito, or Hatton, or even Cotto. Wouldnt it be safe to say Mayweather is NOT the draw in these fights because we all know just about everyone in that crowd will be Filipino, Mexican, British, or Puerto Rican

Discuss

Mayweather tends to ride the coattails of the guys he is fighting.. He is never the main draw.. Never the Hero.. But he draws people who simply want to see him lose.. SO he does have some pulling power..

Floyd was never a big draw in the early days, even when he had belts, he needed the marquee opponent, I was at a lot of those fights and it was easy to find a seat down the front.

Margo-SSM will get close to 15 K n the staples center and we know SSM can't draw...less than 5k vs Mayorga...Ask urself what would SSM-PBF do? NOT MANY...PBF needs a big time draw and he needs to sell it being the vilian if he fought a fighter with no fan base it wouldn't sell much
