Being on the cover of time really is no indicator of ability to sale PPVs....Comment

Since Pacquiao's last fight his name has only gotten bigger. Millions of people who didn't watch the fight saw the highlight real KO and are interested in his next fight. He's been talked about in mainstream media.
Since Mayweather's last fight he did WWE, then disappeared. No non-boxing fans even care about his next fight (see poor ticket sales).
You seem to be an idiot and don't realize how you perform in your last fight has MUCH more to do with how many PPV buys it got. That's the reason Mayweather had huge numbers vs De La Hoya, put on a boring show, and his next fight got 1/3 of the numbers in the US.Comment

That doesn't matter. Not one person is going to see that commercial and think "hmm, this guy had a 30 second commercial and didn't say one word. I think I'll lay down 60 bucks to watch his next fight."
Pacquiao on the other hand has a picture of him on the cover and an article about him. Being one of the world 100 most influential people IN THE WORLD always creates interest.Comment

The economic situation during the De La Hoya - Pacquiao fight was different from when De La Hoya - Mayweather took place. That doesn't qualify who the bigger draw is.Comment

Im sorry but you seem to be the idiot if you think the demographic that reads TIME magazine and people watched a 30 second KO clip will instally turn to PAC fans, follow him and pay 60 bucks to see him fight.
Think about who reads time and who watches boxing...Not the same type of people.Comment

Let me explain to you how recession works in a troubled economy. And I mean worldwide.
It hits a record of around 70% on a global scale and your guess is right, Pac/Delahoya fight happened on that time.
Mayweather/Delahoya=2.4M buys. Fine.
Pac/Delahoya = 1.25M buys=ok
Now, factor out the recession lets say on just 50%. Pac/DLH should should translate 2.5M buys on an even economy. In recession, people left spendings at home, keep funds in the bank, less investment, cut down on expenses, and that includes PPV.
You think Mayweather is the draw? Really? Im very sad on that one.
He keeps on bragging He is the draw, yet we have been getting a lot of press releases as of late that his fight with JMM cant sell tickets. Remember, when theres smoke, theres fire. And i find it funny GBP is announcing they are moving the date of the fight to coincide with Mexican Independence day to capture the mexican audience. lol. If Mayweather is the draw as he keeps on bragging, why He needs the Mexican crowd to sell PPV? Dont you think?
Pac/Hatton, on a recession did 850buys against Mayweather's reported 925buys. Again, ON A RECESSION!
Pac is the current draw until he loses! Mayweather should be happy with 40% or at most 45% if they ever fight.
This is Pac's time. Deal with it.Comment
