clottey is good and im rooting for him but we know whats probably gonna happen in that fight. Mosley is a more relevant opponent and there is history between him and floyd, it aint pacs fault though at the time he chose clottey mosley had berto and there was really noone else at welter besides floyd and clottey....Comment

There's no doubt that PBF/SSM will sell more. Even if you call Floyd's drawing power vs Pac's a wash(which I think Floyd probably has a small edge in anyway), Mosley's name value is a lot higher than Clottey's, plus it's a fight that the fans have wanted for years now and it's the first opponent Floyd has faced in a long time that has attributes that at least appear to give him a solid shot against Floyd. Clottey is an excellent opponent for Pac regardless though, and it certainly won't be hurting on sales. I imagine it'll do about one million PPV buys with a huge live gate at Dallas Stadium, while PBF/SSM does about 1.4 million PPV buys with a lesser gate due to venue.
And Floyd won't get 60/40 if he beats Shane and Pac gets by Clottey unless the disparity in PPV buys is just massive. He might be a slightly bigger draw, but Pac's the only guy he gets the crazy money to face, and if he's not fighting Pac, he'll have to start fighting tough opposition more consistently or face criticism. Pac would also still probably be regarded as the P4P #1 fighter having beaten two top Welterweights to Floyd's one. That gives him enough status to get 50/50.Comment

Clottey can't draw flies to a luke warm cat ****. Also, Mosely and Mayweather are the two biggest American names (discounting DLH) at their weight for years. Seeing as you are talking about USA PPV buys... I don't see how anyone can suggest Mayweather/Mosely (two big American names) won't sell more than a Philippino and an African!
If Pac/Clottey outsold Mayweather/Mosely that would just be plain embarrassing.Comment
