Mayweather vs Pacquiao PPV Buys: Comparison Side by Side

[paulf]

pacquiao does those numbers with 3 mexican legends/some of mexicos biggest names and floyd comes up a little short with 3 c level fighters and c level fame. good comparison i would like to see how mayweather would have done with them p4p.

Juan Manuel Marquez was not a legend at the time, and was at the bottom of the mexican boxing star food chain. He only gets a lot of love now because Barrera, Morales, and DLH got their asses kicked into retirement.

This comparison is very misleading. This is the equivalent of conservative politicians in America saying George Bush kept us safe from *********s for seven years, ignoring the fact that 3,500 people died in a ********* attack on 9/11 in his first year in office.

Manny Pacquio had more PPV buys after De La Hoya, but he had a better PPV opponent in Cotto than Mayweather had in Marquez. The question is how many PPV buys would Pacquaio sell against Marquez now or how many would Mayweather sell against Cotto now. That is the only way to make a fair comparison.

skewing facts...altering statistics, id swear this place was a poilitical forum as opposed to a boxing forum.

PPV buys being talked as bragging rights...yet another aspect of boxing i wish would go away

What count is the PPV buys with the same fighters.Don't compare Cotto as a Draw to Marquez.The point is mayweather has sold more PPVS against the same opponents as Pacquiao.

the thing is Mayweather fought them first, If Pacman fought them before Mayweather did. Its diff story.

[4773Y350NM3]

Then why cant he do the numbers Floyd does.

the reason is, Money got to them first the exception is JMM. And they lose, that drop there valuability in ppv with the casual fans. If Manny got to them before Money did, that number would be diff.

I don't understand the argument here. They have common opponents. Why not just compare them instead of all the speculation?

thats what im saying.

I don't understand the argument here. They have common opponents. Why not just compare them instead of all the speculation?

And the answer is (drum rolls): Time.

It's also the reason why Pacquiao's 1990s losses don't matter in 2009 anymore.

It's actually from a blog.

I thought if you beat Oscar youre guaranteed PPV sucess, what gives.

I already answered this. How well they do depends on how marketable they are, what kind of performance they gave, how fan-friendly their fighting style is, etc. Of course it would be dumb as hell to suggest everyone who ever fights Oscar will become a megastar.
