You would still agree he's a significantly larger draw than Marquez though, right? This stuff is all proportional and relative to the fight also - if you contrast the promotion prior to the two fights you'll find that Pacquiao v Cotto was promoted from the perspective of two top quality boxers going head to head which makes the two men boost each other's numbers, while Mayweather v Marquez was more or less Mayweather's homecoming party so a much larger portion of the buys can be directly attributed to him personally.
Mayweather-Marquez was promoted 2 months longer than Cotto-Pac and was also on "Mexican" weekend... and they also promoted it as the opponent who went life and death with Pacquiao.
floyds gonna play the "my fights with oscar and ricky made more than yours"; pacs ppl gonna play the "our last fight ****ed your last numbers up". prolly both gonna start with 65-35 60-40...55-45...
ts, if these cats dont realize your point, **** em both. fight has to happen.
