    I've never understood why people care so much about the money side of boxing.

    Anyway, this thread, even if it's true is largely missing the point. These are two global boxing stars and I dare say there were enough people watching around the globe. America just isn't that important any more.

      All you have to do is mention "Pac" or "Floyd" and put some sugar on it...and it will be long thread. People just don't realize that the sugar is actually salt...they just look and do not taste.

            I did try to make a thread about Dmitry Salita....but no one was buying. I do need to diversify my game.

                Well you would be foolish not to think it would have some bearing on the result of PPV buys.

                  when has either fighter showed they can do even half that without floyd or Oscar? NEVER.

                    Q..
                    The point you are trying to convey is that Mayweather sells more than Pac..
                    At this point forward with all the buzz in the media and the mystic that might have been instilled to the mind of the non-hardcore fans by the recent performance of Pac, Who do you think will sell more Pac or Money?

                    I am? Where was that?
