    Career-defining fight wise i do agree with you, though.

          Yeah they can make these numbers with other boxers(De La Hoya-Mayweather= 2.4 Mill PPVs, Hatton-Mayweather=900 Thou PPVs[Not including UK numbers])


          but then again..what other boxer?
          DLH-Pacman=1.4 mil?
          how much will Pacman-Hatton do realistically? i predict under 500 or 600(in the US) but still good..anyways..it takes two..but one of those 2 has to be Mayweather


          EDIT: i predict 500 or 600(in the US), not under*

            Marquez got rocked by a light punching lw, what makes you think a featherweight can effectively fight at lww at 35 years old?
            serious challenges at ww what? If i'm not mistaken p4p, pacman and jmm are both ranked higher than cotto, mosley, berto, and anybody else at 147.

            If floyd fights a ww...that's cool. If he fights a super lw...that's cool too. As long as he fights!

                British fans bought more PPVs than US fans did for that fight. Again, it shows Hatton's pulling power in relation to Mayweather.

                Hatton-Pac will do more than 1 million in the UK alone most likely and don't forget the economy is in a recession now.

                You are seriously nitpicking Oscar's PPV pulling power? Eh?

                  Pac/Marquez aren't ranked at 147. Doh!

                    it was also cheaper in the uk too. Again, how many ppvs have atton had? Where do you get the stats for this drawing power?
