Dan Rafael: "Floyd is the Ultimate B-Side"

[BoxingChaos]

"Mayweather Jr and Ricky Hatton amassed 915,000 buys in 2007 making it the most viewed non-heavyweight, non-Oscar De La Hoya PPV in boxing history. Pacquiao-Hatton came in right behind that."


"Floyd Mayweather's shutout victory against Carlos Baldomir to win the world welterweight championship last Saturday night in Las Vegas generated 325,000 pay-per-view buys, HBO announced Friday."

Hatton was the draw and the only reason hatton did not draw more against manny was because hatton lost a few fans after he lost to captain elbow man.

Nothing new here. We all know Mayweather is not a draw.

[Jone2ts]

DLH-Spinks would sell.
Mayweather-Spinks would not.

That is the difference.

No way not even people here in St.Louis would pay for Spinks on PPV. I wouldn't buy Oscar on his own either, he fights boring and isn't worth the money. DLH hasn't got me to ever spend one dime. I always paid for the other guywhen i did see him fight. Pacman Vs de La Hoya was a download won't buy either man's PPV. Floyd sells even if it is to people that want to see him lose, which has never happened thus the "0" rules and Floyd take 70% period.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Well i dunno but imho Hatton and Dela Hoya were the draws/A side vs Floyd

[Pullcounter]

ultimate B side = floyd plays the part of the villian well

[VERDUGO]

No one besides DLH can draw on his own. Pacquiao vs Diaz PPV did like 185K buys. It takes 2 to sell a fight.

Correction....Pac vs Diaz did 250k. which was good considering David Diaz was a complete unknown.

In that case Cotto can't draw outside of New York...

Hatton was the draw and the only reason hatton did not draw more against manny was because hatton lost a few fans after he lost to captain elbow man.

Mayweather-Gatti/Hatton/and DLH all did well...

You guys are crazy if you think Floyd isn't a draw...

[Doctor_Tenma]

Tyson and Holyfield could draw on their own. So could Foreman.

Should have added that by the way, good looking out.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Mayweather-Gatti/Hatton/and DLH all did well...

You guys are crazy if you think Floyd isn't a draw...

Mayweather did
325K against Baldomir
365K against Gatti
375K against Zab Judah
915K against Hatton
2.4m against DLH

They just don't want to admit he is a draw, not only that, the names I mentioned, except for Hatton/ DLH, aren't bigger names then EM, MAB and JMM.
