Bigger Draw: Mayweater or Pacquaio?

[RodBarker]

There you go again with your one reason = conclusion logic. Did you graduate HS dumb muther ***er?

Of course its hard to beat DLH vs Mayweather because it included the highest paid boxer in history, DE LA HOYA.

Can you get it into your ***ing head that DE LA HOYA was the main attraction in that fight?

If not, why don't you explain why PBF has no other HUGE draws other than Hatton fight.

And why don't you use your ****** ***ing head and think why anyone would want to see PBF's boring ass fights over Pac?

You shot yourself in the foot ,, Pac fought ODH , Floyd fought ODH , your answer is there .....

Hatton has probably the biggest fan base of any fighter in the sport ,, but wtf does that mean , his country is starved of great fighters so they get behind the good ones and Hatton was marketed for his appeal so what it didnt stop Floyd knocking is ass out , Jeff Fenech was the same here selling 30,000 plus in Aus a country that dont have the population of New York and less than 200 registered boxers , draw is marketing a fighter with appeal and personality ,,,, the biggest draw in the sport is the MATCH UP of the two in question not one or the other it is the event , this my guy is more popular than yours is so ****ing childish .

so where where all these fans before he fought mayweather? like when he fought other guys?

Are you serious? What other fighter besides Tyson and Holyfield even come close to Oscar's PPV numbers?

2.4 million

I'm sure the economy had absolutly NOTHING to do with the difference between Pac-DLH than Mayweather-DLH.

Oscar's PPV numbers smoke Mayweather's. Take away Floyd's fights with Hatton and Oscar and what do you have left?

You didnt answer the question. If youre going to use the nonsense that Floyd can only do numbers with Oscar then that brings up the question why hasnt anyone else done anywhere near those numbers with Oscar.

I agree it had nothing to do with it.

[Da Hammer]

they are probably about even right now. its hard to compare because well people point out the DLH vs mayweather fight doing a lot mre than than DLH vs pac but you gotta point out that the economy was/is at its worst since the great depression. also most people didnt think it was a credible fight to begin with, there were so many threads even here on boxing scene with hardcore fans claiming that they would not watch this "circus act". should be interesting to see how much hatton vs pac does!

[deliveryman]

Floyd is so hated that he's by far the bigger draw.

The fight did well because Floyd promotes his fights well.
