    You can envision alot on these boards? What the *** does that mean? You trying to philosohpize crackhead?

    Only huge PPV days in PBF career was the DLH and Hatton fights. And in both cases the fights were big because of the other fighters. PBF did a great job of wanting people to watch him get his ass beat by either fighters. Its not him they want to see.

    PBF was still fighting on ESPN just a few years ago. Exciting fighters get the draw, PBF if the furthest from exciting as you can get.

    Pacquiao is exciting and good.

    You just taking the PPV numbers from DLH and Hatton fights to support your opinion that PBF is the bigger draw is just plain ****** and ignorant.

        He only did a lot of buys when he fought the two most popular fighters in the sport. Plus, it was in a better economy, which is a bit of a cop out, but it is a factor.

        Let's see what Pac/Hatton does.

        Like I said, overall I think Floyd is the bigger draw. But right now, Pac is on fire while Floyd's been inactive for a year and a half. And Pac just beat the **** out of the most popular fighter...his popularity has only gone up from that, and we'll see how much it went up when we get the numbers for the Hatton fight.

          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
          Thank you for being unbias and knowledgeable and being totally honest.

            You can try to spin it any way you want, the fact is youre wrong and there are more ways than what you stated to prove it.

                    Pacquiao vs De La Hoya = 1,250,000 PPV's
                    Mayweather vs De La Hoya = 2,400,000 PPV's

                    But this is Boxingscene, the home of Floyd haters.
