    Can we put the Mayweather PPV king arguements to rest?

    Honestly?

    It seems that all these Floyd boys have this perception that floyd is the PPV king..

    Hes the biggest NAME in boxing right now, but not the biggest draw..

    He has made some excellent choices to fight fighters who have strong fanbases which is why his fights sell well.. Its WHO he is fighting.. NOT himself..

    I hate to beat a dead horse, but look at the baldomir fight.. How much did that sell? werent people leaving the stadium in the middle of the fight?

    DLH, Hatton, JMM.. all had strong fan bases..

    The upcoming Pac fight should be compared to the baldomir fight.. both unknown fighters

    That is a FAIR comparison.. This thread was not intended to flame either

    Dude this post is terrible.

    With common opponents with Pac why did Floyds fight sell more?

    LMAO.

    Floyd-JMM outsold BOTH of Pac fights with JMM combined.

      A fair comparison is Pac/Cotto. Floyd was by far not at the pinnacle of his popularity against Baldomir, Pac is against Clottey. If you put both guys in against interesting opponents Floyd will get more draws, don't know how or why it's so hard for people to accept this.

            Why is Shane making a CAREER high payday with Floyd?

            Why?

            Shanes last PPV was 2 years ago.

            Didnt Shane fight Oscar...right..so why is Shane-Floyd his biggest payday EVER.

                    So Pac fought Hatton, Oscar AND JMM. Just like Floyd did. So that means Pac only picks good draws? Your losing me here homie.

                    I hate to beat a dead horse, but look at the baldomir fight.. How much did that sell? werent people leaving the stadium in the middle of the fight?

                    That fight almost did as much as Pac-JMM and Floyd was fighting a guy with NO fanbase.

                    DLH, Hatton, JMM.. all had strong fan bases..

                    Didnt Pac fight all these same people????

                    The upcoming Pac fight should be compared to the baldomir fight.. both unknown fighters

                    Clottey is not unknown. He just doesnt have a huge fanbase. Hes fought Cotto, Judah and Margarito.

                    That is a FAIR comparison.. This thread was not intended to flame either

                    Saying comparing Clottey-Pac to Baldi-Floyd RATHER then comparing COMMON OPPONENTS is flaming.
