      He can say that and I would agree that Clottey is no name. If they are comparing PPV buys they need to compare his bout with Miguel to the Shane/May fight. IMO the split should be 55/45 in favor of Mayweather. The Mosley/May fight will do more than Miguel/Pac and against common opponents Mayweather has done more buys and against DLH and Marquez has done almost double the amount of buys.

        this is what Im saying..If May/Mosley outsells Pac/Clottey..Floyd needs to counter with "we can still keep it 50/50 if you agree with the propsed test..."

        It doesn't matter though, no one expects Pac/Clottey to outsell Floyd/SSM because no one outside of hardcore fans knows who Clottey is.
        Floyd never said that..post me that link?..that is some BS Arum told the public and the uninformed boxing fans ran with it..
        I remember vividly when Cotto sat ringside at the Gatti/Mayweather fight 5 years ago..Cotto was supposed to face the winner of that bout..and after watching the destruction of Gatti..funny that fight never happenend!
        not to mention him & Arum..Floyd wanted a gaurantee, that Arum wouldnt give him..

        we are referring here to the pac-clottey PPV against the pbf-mosley PPV!
        not the pac-cotto ppv against the mayweather-jmm ppv.

        pac is absolutely allowed or agreeable to say that he has no dance partner if mosley-pbf ppv beats pac-clottey ppv. coz clottey is not a draw.
        it has no hype or whatsoever.
        50-50 is still a fair share between the two.
        what happened to Pac being the mega star who could sell a fight himself..
        if hes so massive in the ring..he should be able to sell no matter who he faces..so if this Clottey fight fails..no, he cannot say that as an excuse..
        of course the Mayweather fight will outsell more..but how much less will the Pac fight do, is where the split comes into play..but if this fight flops..that will show just how much of a big draw Pac really is..truth be told..Cotto fans contributed more to the numbers in their fight..and hate to say it..but if Floyd were facing Clottey the numbers would be better than Pac/Clottey..
        why is that!.....

          Clottey has never fought on a PPV as the headliner has he?

          Cotto-Clottey wasn't PPV and I don't think Clottey-Corrales or Clottey-Judah were either.

          Marquez had headlined 2 or 3 PPV's before the Mayweather fight:

          Marquez-Pac I (not sure if this was PPV or not)

          Marquez-Pac II

          Marquez-Barrera

            Floyd why did u choose to fight marquez instead of mosley?

            Floyd: "Marquez is a bigger draw. He's got a whole country behind him."


            RESULTS.

            Floyd-Marquez- 1 million pay-per-view buys.

            Pacquiao-Cotto- 1.2 million pay-per-view buys.


            EXCUSE.

            Floyd: "I don't have a dance partner with me".
            (totally contradicting his statement before the event.)



            Can pac also say this after the results of Pac-CLottey Buys?
            (for sure mosley-pbf would make the bigger money.)
            Mosley isnt that big a draw either, besides if the difference is huge in sales then it wouldn't matter, Mayweather would have the upper hand regardless of the excuse.

            Not to mention I think Cotto is a bigger draw then Marquez any day of the week.

              I would be shocked and impressed with Mayweather if he would go with this, of course Pac would refuse, do know why but i really hope this fight takes place with testing, so we can know once and for all that Pac is indeed clean.

                Yes. Pacquiao-Clottey should be compared with Mayweather-Marquez and Mayweather-Mosley should be compared to Pacquiao-Cotto for the most accurate conclusions to this [******] debate.

                Mayweather is the bigger draw, period, and it'll show.

                      No, stop comparing Floyd vs. JMM to Manny vs. Cotto. JMM is not even the most popular Mexican fighter.

                      Compare Manny's numbers he did with Cotto to Floyd vs. SSM.

                      Remember Team Pacquiao decided to fight Cotto instead of SSM because Cotto was a bigger draw. SSM fought on ESPN a few years ago.
