    TO do over a million anyone needs the right opponent. Look at Oscar's numbers against weak opposition.

    To me they are about equal and need each other to really make the biggest fight possible, everything else is small time compared to them fighting. To me whoever the bigger draw is largely depends on who is fighting the more known credible opposition. If one is ahead it is not by some large margin.

          thats what i was saying regarding pac's mainstream popularity after the hatton fight. what is funny, at one point even the beautiful lady broadcaster is imitating a pacquiao punch.

          so its not farfetched that pacquiao would draw bigger and sell more than floyd in the future given his current popularity and the exposure being given him by the mainstream media.

          me thinks it bodes well for the sport of boxing.

                      Yeah. That's the key point. Not that he (i.e BOXING) is on the cover of a national sports magazine.

                      That piece went right over your head, huh?
