      Seriously, i may be a Floyd fan but i'm under no illusions, Baldomir was a borderline bum parading around with a WBC and lineal belt

        I like the way the article says "the only time it has sold out is when the names De La Hoya, Hatton or Pacquiao are attached to it". It then goes on to criticize Floyd by saying "both of Floyds sell outs were against De La Hoya and Hatton".

        Well, weren't Pacquiaos? Idiot

          "The majority of the seats at the house for the Pacquiao-Marquez fight were filled by Filipinos, not Mexicans. And it’s fair to assume Pacquiao fans generated the lion’s share of the PPV purchases as well."


          how the *** can you compare mexican ppv buys with ****** pinoys who dont know **** about boxing just pacquiao?

            Mayweather vs Marquez, July18th

            It's a bit far to talk about results...

            But definitely, Mayweather is not the biggest cash cow in boxing.

              Pac-Morales fights were sold outs..esp the third fight at the Thomas and Mack(highest gate attendance in the place i guess)..it outsold the Holyfield-Tyson fight I believe in terms of gate attendance..i think Barrera-pacquiao 2 was sold out as well..not sure though..lets face it mayweather is not a big draw like most floyd fans say..

                Goat? That's successful. How much did Pacquiao do against Diaz? 100k less than Mayweather did against Baldomir (pretty much same caliber opponent). Manny couldHow much did Mosley do with Cotto? Around 350k, this was Cotto coming off a good win against Judah and Mosley 2 high profile fights against Vargas. How much did Mosley do against David Estrada with Margarito-Cintron on the undercard? 100k after fighting Oscar 2x.

                The numbers speak for themselves, if you don't like Mayweather than fine, the avoiding argument is legit, but don't try to feed this bull****. Real talk, Mayweather had solid numbers before De La Hoya and great with him and afterward, better than any other De La Hoya opponent.

                If Mayweather isn't a cash cow, than noone is.
                Agree well said.
