Dan Rafael: "No chance would Floyd-Clottey draw 45K like Pac-Clottey"

[DIB42]

I think mayweather is the bigger ppv draw, but i think pac vs clottey does better than may vs clottey cause you lose the big man vs little man angle. I dunno though

From Dan Rafael's chat today:



Rob (Denton, Tx): "This is just being honest and real and not hating. But some friends and i were arguing that if Mayweather was fighting Clottey tomorrow would there be 45K there. I say no."

Dan Rafael (3:00 PM): "No chance Mayweather-Clottey would draw that big of a crowd."

-------------------------

Erik (Austin, TX): "Dan, I think it's interesting how people assume you want Mayweather to lose when it's obvious you just want him to challenge himself. All his talk would be warranted if did that."

Dan Rafael (3:07 PM): "Most people are too dumb to get that."

------------------------

Jeff (Vegas): "Not to be to critical of other 'freaks' but are some of the Mayweather fans kinda mental?"

Dan Rafael (2:12 PM): "Some?"

The poll results proves most people on NSB are hateful idiots speaking out of their ass.
Floyd did WAY more than Pacquiao against all common opponents, every one of them.
They base the voting on? Bull****, you've guess it! Nothing surprising there though...

PPV-wise, it would be the same. But attendance-wise, Pac and Clottey would sell more. Dan is just using Floyd's name to get attention. But i do agree with him for the first time, but he's still a prick.

When asked about who was the last exiting fighter like Pacquiao here's what Dan Rafael had to say:

Rob (Denton)


I am curious, what fighter have you seen more exciting then Pac? Been a boxing fan since 86 and i cant recall a more exciting fighter.

Gatti, although not nearly as skilled or as good as Manny.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Will Pac get destroyed just like Gatti by Mayweather jr?

Will Pac get destroyed just like Gatti by Mayweather jr?

yeah, cause gatti won 7 titles in 7 divisions and was p4p #1

Floyd-Clottey would have trouble selling out MGM....forget Dallas Stadium

why you are my favorite poster

[Junito-Rulez]

Dan Rafael got owned by the facts everytime . This fatass deserve to get ****d by squealpiggy, deliverance style.

[Hannibal Barca]

That's odd, because against common opponents Mayweather's outsold Pac every time. And filling up less than half of the Cowboys stadium(45,000) is less than impressive. They had an attendance of 108,000 for a meaningless All Star Game about a month back.

What numbers? 45K in a 100k+ stadium is not a lot.
