    if pac gets over 700k buys for the clottey fight that would be huge
    that would keep him in the drivers seat for negotiations unless Floyd KO's Mosley

    Floyd Clottey fight at the MGM 3/4 full and generates no more than 450k ppv's
    How exactly does Pac getting 700k, and Floyd potentially doing 1.5... keep Pac in the driver seat?

      Fair enough, if you feel that way. Money is 95% of the reasons, usually. But again, you go case by case. And again, we have a very unique situation here.

            I disagree with that bro,

            IMO Pacquiao is the bigger draw in the live gate. Pacquaio would always bring more fans in attendance then Floyd. Floyd is not that big of a draw in the live gate IMO.

            But, Floyd IMO is the bigger draw in PPV wise, he sells more PPV. But, I think Pac is right behind him though. The gap is not as big as it use to be.

              I see it as if floyd were to fight clottey he would not draw nearly as much PPV as packy just did
              Pac is in the seat cause he is P4P number 1 and he just destroyed Clottey

                So Pac is in the driver seat in the negotiations based on a speculative view that Floyd might not do as well with Clottey as Pac did?

                That's not how it works.

                  I always wanted to go watch a fight at MSG. Especially as a Tito fan that would of been awesome. I was going to go the Tito-Hopkins fight but, when the 9/11 attacks happend and the fight got postponed. I coudn't make the September 29 date.

                    so you think that Floyd would bring in more than 700k fighting Clottey?
                    I guess so JRO
                    he did get over 1 mill fighting JMM

                      I tried to tell Makavelli that MSG with Floyd-Pac would be sick.
