    Pac is more of a live draw fighter, due to how he fights, people are willing to spend more to see him do his thing. Mayweather on the other hand is more of a PPV attraction due to people wanting to see him lose so badly, but haters will never fork over big time cash just to please themselves. Also Mayweathers style doesn't exactly scream out, "I want to go out of my way to see that guy fight live." So the answer is no. Mayweather V Clottey would honestly be lucky to get 15,000 people even at the same ticket prices that Pac V Clottey was.

      The last time he fought at home was years ago. Not even remotely on the same level he is now. If he fought a decent name and they had it at Ford field for reasonable prices he could get 25,000-30,000 people.

        R U dishonest or ignorant, Mayweather did better than Pacquiao in their three common opponents: Hatton, Marquez and DLH.

            People in texas love boxing. Mayweather could do 50,000 also. People just don't want to believe it because they don't like Mayweather. Look there are two superstars in boxing not just one. Why else does jerry jones think they could put 100,000 in the seats if Mayweather vs Pacquiao was to happen? Where would the other 50,000 come from? Mayweather so face it.

              i think you can consider vegas mayweather's transplanted home town. hes been based out of there for just about his entire career. he still hasnt been able to build a fan base there

                  No one's paying to see that. There's no way people are flying to Dallas to watch that snooze fest. He can talk all the **** he wants, create as much hype as he wants, but there ain't no way its happening.

                      i highly doubt it. floyd needs another big name next to his to fill that many seats. he can't do that with clottey.
