Pacquiao vs Mayweather PPV Buys

[PAKYO]

yeah all credit goes to de la hoya... question: why did Mayweather-De La Hoya sell more than Oscar's fights with: Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Fernando Vargas, Félix Trinidad, Héctor Camacho, Julio César Chávez and Javier Castillejo?

did De La Hoya gain 1 million fans right before the Mayweather fight and lost them the fight after? OOOR did Mayweather draw more people?

Didn't most of you said MOST PEOPLE WATCH A FLOYD FIGHT FOR HIM TO GET BEATEN!!

So is that fanatism? If you say yes, then you're indeed chicken brained (no insult to real chickens).

how do you know most people watch to see him lose? is this a fact or did you just make it up to discredit Floyd? is it so hard to believe that people want to watch the most skilled fighter in the world fight?

Thanks TS for posting the truth about PPV.

So based on the PPV buys between Pacquiao and Mayweather their next fight should have a purse split of 70/30 in Pacquiao's favor.

Those are the questions that can be argued any which way.
How about this angle, though...
If.............
and that's a unrealistic IF...but


If Mayweather was to fight Delahoya next, would you expect big numbers still?
Would the numbers be greater than when Pacquiao fought Delahoya?

I, personally, don't think so.
The attraction would be on Mayweather to bring forth.

P.S.: I would love to see a Mayweather fight to see him dominate and whoop someones ass.
Alas, even with this fight coming up, I am watching it to see if he's put in a situation where he has to look deep into win.
The fact that he's fighting someone I consider legit is a plus. So either way, if Mayweather wins he will get some plus points with Mosley.

Again, fighting and beating a legit welterweight RIGHT NOW will do wonders for swaying public forum's opinion of why they see a Floyd Mayweather fight in the future.

If that doesn't help you at all, try Google, and if still it doesn't, then let your god help you *****s.
