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

[Roger Mellie]

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.

To be honest TS, Miguel Cotto is a very popular fighter. A Mayweather-Cotto pay per view would've done just as well.

Cotto-Margarito did over 500k
Marquez-Casamayor did 100K

Pacquiao-Marquez did 400k
Mayweather-Marquez did over a million

Cotto is and will always be a bigger draw than Marquez, so it's no surprise that Pacquiao-Cotto did better than Mayweather-Marquez.

Pacquiao and Mayweather are about equal in terms of drawing power.

Yes Cotto deserves some credits too but the PPV generated is mostly due to Pac, most of us wants to see if Pac can really handle a true WW.

True, but if he would've fought Clottey(true WW) the numbers would not be as good as cotto vs pac. Take any TRUE welterweight besides floyd/mosley and Cotto vs Pac does better than any other, so WHO pacquiao fights counts.

Pacquiao and mayweather are about equal in terms of drawing power.

agree 100% !!!

I DO, just tired of hearing fans say that Pacquiao was ONLY reason why PPV sales were this good for pac vs Cotto. How well would've pac vs Judah or Pac vs Berto do compared to Pac vs Cotto? Didn't people see how many fans Cotto had at MGM and weigh-in? Not taking anything away from pac or criticizing him, just showing that both Cotto and pac are reason for the high numbers.

Did we say that it was only Manny who sell the ppv? Perhaps your saying it was Floyd who just said that he was the one who sold the ppv on JMM-FMJ fight.

When Floyd did fight Judah and Berto, who was the reigning P4P at that time? If Manny fights Judah and Berto right now I'm sure he will surpass Floyd ppv.

[Adamantium]

There is no question that PACQUIAO is bigger draw.

I mean look last fight,numbers dont lie.

Numbers dont lie.

Im sure if Mayweather fought Cotto then the numbers would be similar. Your acting as if no Cotto found bought a ppv.

Hey Rob how many fans did Floyd have during the weigh-in of FMJ vs JMM. I think 70-80% were JMM fans. And why was Floyd talking that he did sold the PPV during their fight?

[rob6465]

The original thread was PACQUIAO ALONE sold 1.6+. It should've been Pacquiao AND Cotto sell 1.6+

Fans is different than being a draw. People watch Floyd to see him lose.

Dude, you are acting like i'm knocking pacquiao. I'm not !!! Just giving Cotto credit. Also, don't care about Floyd.
