      Mayweather/De La Hoya did 2.4m US

      HBO estimating around 850k US for Pacquiao/Hatton and Arum said it should do 1.6m-2m combined US/UK
      Pacquiao/De La Hoya 1.25m

      Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter but yes Floyd is still the bigger name. I don't know how many PPV Pacquiao/Marquez did_If I remember right around 400k) but Floyd's will be much better as well. I'm guessing at least 600k. Not enough time to hype it for max PPV numbers. But lets not forget the 100k Manny did against Diaz

        The crowd alone is a huge give away, of a boxers popularity.
        For the last time, no one bought either the Pac's or Mayweather's fights with Hatton on PPV in America because of Ricky Hatton. NO ONE CARES ABOUT RICKY HATTON IN AMERICA.

          There is no base to this extrapolated comment. I bought the fight, and I am Latino. And so did a few other folks on US soil. I am certain many more did.

          But thats not the point. We are trying to determine who grabs the bigger crowd among Manny and Floyd. Taking DLH/Hatton out of the equation. What has Mayweathers/Manny ppv buys bin? That is if he has any.

            Floyd fans like to think he has more haters that outnumbers everyone elses fans. Truth is, ESPN, CNN, sky sports, the global media is all over pacs nuts right now. They might have previously mentioned Floyd in the past, but nothing compared to the large scale attention Manny is getting right now, and that hurts them. The little that do know of Floyd, hate him.

              Same with the Oscar fight.. Pac isnt even close


              Floyd has just as many haters as fans, who pay to see him lose lol
              Pac vs Hatton did closer to 2 million buys

                That is true, but Pac is close.
                Floyd v Pac will be the biggest ever I think.

                    People just hate Floyd so much that they wont even be fair. How can Pac be the bigger draw if Floyd had more PPV buys then Pac with Oscar, Hatton, and you know he also will top him in the JMM catagory. Thats it, case closed. The numbers speak for themselves. If you add in the Gatti fight then Floyd is again on top. He's clearly made more money then Pac so how is Pac the bigger draw? He isnt, bottom line. Until he proves it then he's not
