    PBF/JMM had 2 extra months for promotion, 24/7 more marketing $$

    vs. just a countdown that JMM/Pac II had. Is it fair to compare both fight's PPV's when one fight had significantly more resources and time to promote than the other?

      Can't compare based on said resources and time. But remember Floyd was injured.

      The conversation:

      Q: So Floyd, how's your rib?
      A: It's good. It was a freak accident. This thing happens in training.
      Q: So how did it happen?
      A: Well, uhh, it was a freak accident.

        Stop acting like 2 months really helps. It wasnt continuous. When Floyd got hurt, the promotion shut down. There were articles where people said that mainstream fans wont even remember the promotion that they had for the fight. Also, dont act like everyone didnt say this fight would straight up bomb, and I do mean everyone. They were acting like it wouldnt even do 400. Everyone called the fight a joke fight and alot of people were telling people not to pay for it. A mil for Floyd-JMM is the same as 2mil for Pac-Cotto and IDK how anyone could disagree. Again, dont act like people werent saying that it would bomb and only do like 4. Everyone said that Cotto-Pac would do more than 8 so thats twice the amount

                    fights under welterweight never get attention from the mainstream in america.

                    just a fact.

                    pac-jmm 2 was the best selling ppv fight ever 135 and under. (before that it was pac-morales 1/2/3)

                    pac-hatton was the best selling ppv fight ever at 140 and under. (replacing pac-jmm 2 as the best selling 140 and under fight)
