PACQUIAO alone sold 1.6+ mill PPV. MAYWEATHER with dance partner JMM only 1 mill!

I do agree that JMM did a mistake in moving to WW. Yeah hope fans won't rush and say bad things to the winner and discredits what they've made.

It will be a good fight Rob between Manny and Floyd. 50/50 split 147lbs.

By the way rob, you and Benny are good person. Tomorrow when I'm able to give Karma I will give you 2 a green K.

Thanks, we need more posters like you, me and others. Sometimes we get too caught up in the fights and our favorite fighters and don't appreciate the other fighter. I made a mistake of slamming pacquiao at times because my dislike for roach or comments by crazy posters here. I respect Pacquiao, Mosley, Floyd, Marquez as fighters. Now i have issues with some of their resumes but that is my opinion. I'm very proud of miguel because he has fought them all and hope he comes back(with new trainer) and retires as a champ. After Pacquiao, floyd, Cotto, Marquez, etc there will be a new young group of fighters that we will debate. I will say this...What a good 2-3 yrs of boxing we've just had.

If i don't get the chance, hope you and your families all have a nice holiday and take it easy with the eating....lol

benny williams cant make the 147 anymore.... hes weak @ welter weight

the title is intended to mock floyd camp...

its clear that a fighter cant solely claim to be a draw alone. an opponent does contribute to the buys.

Why did we say that Cotto didn't help in selling PPV on that fight.

It was only Floyd who didn't give credit to JMM and saying he was the only one who did the sell paper view. Don't you remember it?

its only on paper, mark it youre the one who said it.

oh sorry it was supposed to be pay per view. lolz my bad..

The numbers Pac did with Hatton and DLH arent relevant. Both those fights were key in building Manny to the point he is NOW,the biggest draw in boxing ,who after the Cotto fight is known to many more people around the world. Manny will do big numbers against anyone now. Floyd's camp cant really play that card and keep a straight face. That would look ridiculous.

co-sign, thats a sane analysis

Williams said he could make it still but just has no need to at the moment because he only would do it for the big names. He just called out Pac. Now if he can really do it...don't know.

For me honestly, i bought that floyd-jmm fight because i know jmm and floyd were great fighters. Same as Pac-Cotto fights, i paid for it as i know these two deserves to make money as they really create entertainment and the fact that i like both fighters.

Now, with the jmm-floyd match, one part that made me bought that ppv is due to the hype since i thought either jmm makes a good show as a great warrior and/or floyd showing jmm that he's a force to be reckoned with and how dares this featherweight call out a WW and kills him in the proccess or at least KO's jmm, but what happened?

IT WAS THE BIGGEST SNOREFEST I PAID! I SWORN I WILL NEVER PAY FOR FLOYD'S FIGHT ANYMORE, whoever he fights!

and youre buying pacmans fight anytime? so next time pacmang vs floyd theres a guaranteed 1 ppv for pacman, good

LOL, nah, dont apologize am only messin with you bro, got you loud and clear.

Ah...you make a point. So Floyd would have the numbers in the US for Hatton while Hatton gets the numbers in Britain.
What were the numbers in the US for Hatton vs. Floyd?

It was initially tracked at 850k (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=3158134), and settled in in the low 900k, which is still great numbers, BUT Ricky still has his "mystic", and his O as his selling point, as well as Mayweather's, that's why that fight did over a million in England alone. What's your point btw Benny? I didn't even mention Floyd. Floyd's O and him wearing the black hat is his biggest selling point, a negative sell is still his sell, that's why 50/50, or 40/40 with the winner pocketing the rest of loot is the best way to go for this fight...
