Pacquiao-Cotto Generates 1.25 Million Pay-Per-View Buys

[rsheker]

if only the filipinos bought ppv instead of waiting for it on youtube or going to their neighbors. lol

[Joeyzagz]

All Floyd has to say during negotiations is

"2.4 million"

Numbers speak for themselves actually.

That would depend and I myself don't want to say this, but Mayweather can RIGHTFULLY demand more then 50%. So I wouldn't blame Floyd.

dont see how he could rightfully demand more than 50% if you're as hot as your last fight and Pac just proved more people would pay to see him fight than to see Floyd box.

Seriously, if you were a casual fan and you saw both Floyd's and Pac's last fights? Who would you pay to see next? Answer honestly.

What if it's 1.6, would you say the same thing for Pac?

Honest answer.

Pacquiao didn't prove that. He proved that a competitive match up will sell more then a mismatch. A mismatch most said wouldn't do 500K and it doubled. Can't answer because I'm a hardcore fan.

Dude, the name of Floyd's fight was called Numero Uno. Was it billed as a mismatch? Cmon Dom. Don't pull any of Burner's ****.

You didn't answer the question.

I say the fight should happen at 50/50. But if it doesn't come off, its Floyd's fault.

even in Oscar's blog, oscar said its all up to Floyd. Lets see if Floyd can finally man up for the love of the sport.

50/50 is good. anymore than would kill the deal- SERIOUSLY.

Most hardcore fans called it a mismatch. Mayweather was an 8-1 favorite; it isn't hard to understand.

these "casuals" are obviously interested in mayweather seeing as they've made him the biggest ppv attraction in the sport. sorry but you're bringing up irrelevancies and speculation - the tangible evidence we have points to mayweather being worth more money as an individual than manny pacquiao

1m against juan manuel marquez is better than 1.25m against miguel cotto, especially considering the way each fight was promoted.
