    Mayweather vs. Clottey - Bigger than Pac/Clottey?

    With ****** ******* websites like THIS ONE promoting the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight as if it were a fight among two big name fighters, I was wondering if there would be the same level of interest if a Mayweather vs. Clottey match up were made.

    What are the top three reasons you would NOT watch a fight between Mayweather and Clottey?

    If on a scale of 1 to 10, the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight were a 10, what number on the scale would Mayweather/Clottey be - a 15 perhaps? I bet the Floyd/Clottey fight would be much bigger given Floyd's status as the top attraction of our times. But what do you think?

    As much as i like both floyd and joshua, it will be the most boring fight ever. Two boxers who tend to be very defensive and have a low workrate

      No, because it would be a boring fight and because no one thinks Clottey would have a chance at winning.

      In terms of PPV potential

      1. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
      2. Mayweather vs. a guy who can beat him in the public's eyes (Shane Mosley, Paul Williams)
      3. Pacquiao vs basically anyone in boxing (because Pacquiao is thought of as an action fighter who's always in entertaining fights).
      4. Mayweather vs. a guy who can't beat him in the public's eyes

        More competitive for sure. What that means I don't know. Pac/Clottey will be more exciting, though I like Clottey's style against Floyd's more than his style against Pac. Floyd won't outwork him.

        Is it bigger? probably not. I think that fight is more iteresting though.

          Mayweather-Clottey sells more PPV than Pac-Clotty
