Can we put the Mayweather PPV king arguements to rest?

[Ray*]

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

So when he fights a known name then he's cherrypicking them base on those fighters fanbase? And when he fight the Baldomir who basically have no fan he's still cherrypicking?? So which one is it?

Exactly. The dude can't win with these kids man. If it isn't one thing, its another.

I'm going to assume that you just aren't that bright. It's okay.

Like others have already stated, Floyd wasn't even 1/4th star he is today when he fought Carlos Baldomir.

We'll see, DLH vs Mosley couldnt even do a Million... lets see if Mayweather vs Mosley top that.

When it does, it will ONLY be because Mosley had the bigger fan base. They never give the dude credit, it doesn't surprise me. According to NSB logic, he only does numbers because of his opponents fan bases. Its funny I'm talking about this, because I stay out of the majority of the PPV number arguments on here.

[M.I.C.]

Yep I said that. His last PPV was 2 years ago vs. COTTO in Cottos back yard in NYC.

I can only wonder how many PPV's that sold, bet it wont be close to what Floyd is going to do on May 1/

[shadeyfizzle]

Thats because he got s BIGGER split. Still doesnt mean that at the TIME Hatton didnt receive a career high payday vs. Floyd.

that's ******. biggest payday is biggest payday. Cotto had the bigger split of the pie against mosley and margarito and yet his biggest payday is against pacquiao.

convenient how you were a very literal face value kinda guy yesterday but all of a sudden you wanna look at context

December 2007. Was that Hattons biggest payday to date. Yes or No?

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.

that's not totally fair...

1) floyd beat dlh and hatton before pac did

2) pac fought dlh and hatton in the recession

3) pac vs jmm was at a lower weight class

Facts are facts. Floyds fight with the same opponents sold more.

Floyd is the PPV KING!! this is coming from a pac fan.. but.. i dont care as long as PAC makes boxing exciting when he fights its enough for me as a boxing fan!!

and people buy floyds PPV to see him lose well thats another story lol!
