    Who ever owns his own country. If I had to make a long term investment in one fighter's career, I would definitely invest in Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao is quickly becoming his own brand globally. He's had numerous successful PPV fights, is sponsored by major corporations and is a bigger name on a global scale than Floyd Mayweather JR.

    Really, it comes down to who generates the most money and Pac generates a ****load more than Floyd.

      Its funny haha, I can envision alot on these boards how they are in person. If Pac had bigger PPV numbers then you people would be using that for proof, but since he doesnt you grasp at nonsense, Im laughing so hard my stomach is hurting.

        I hope your life isn't so void of love, entertainment and social interaction that internet message boards bring so much joy to you. There's a whole world outside of your monitor dimensions.

          Pacquiao is exciting, Mayweather is not. I can remember just a few years ago Floyd who was about 29 or 30 - 0 at the time was still on ESPN trying to get attention by being ****y. Pacquiao is not only exciting, but good and a winner. Floyd's fights are the epitomy of why the majority of the population thinks boxing is boring. Mayweather is certainly famous, but he would never would have made that much money if he didn't fight De La Hoya and Hatton who were themselves bigger draw.

            I love how Bhopreign is acting as if it's fact.

            I love Floyd, and I'm not too big of a Pac fan.

            But to the general public, ya know, the ones that make up the majority of the buys, it's all about what have you done lately.

            People hardly remember the last time they saw Mayweather. Last time they saw Pac he beat the **** out of the most popular fighter in the sport, and might beat the **** outta next biggest fighter in the sport.

            Right now Pac is on fire. Pac, right now, is a bigger draw than Mayweather.

            When Floyd is active and fighting in big fights, Floyd is the bigger draw, but he's not.

                Mayweather of course. For the hate and the "need" to take his 0. Some of these creatures are desperate. Floyd knows he's in control, he says jump boxing says how high. The door is always open, as long as he has his 0.

                  Pacquiao has more fans, but Mayweather manages to sell PPVs. As far as putting butts in seats its probably Pacquiao, but a lot of people show up just to see if Mayweather might get beaten. So, it's pretty close, but I voted Pacquiao because probably is the bigger draw. But Mayweather might bring more money just on the basis of his PPV appeal.

                      Anyone who says Pac is the draw is a moron. Give me 1 example? Pac is just big in his own Country. Floyd does the same or more PPV buys against Zab, Gatti, and Baldy then Pac does in his mega fights against JMM, EM, and MAB. Its not even close.

                      Again, I said this in another thread. Hatton wasnt the draw against Floyd. Why do people keep saying that he was? No one knew Hatton in the US. He brings fans but there from England. It has nothing to do with US PPV buys. If Hatton had fought anyone else in that PPV then it wouldve done crap numbers in the US. Floyd is the one who sold that fight, wihtout a doubt. You guys are looking at it backwards. If Hatton fights Baldy in the US then you tell me who's going to buy it? No one. It might do numbers in England but not here. Floyd was the US draw easily
