[b4real]

the nervous of these guys..... Pac is not big as ppl think.... I was in the bank a few weeks ago, there was a group of 7 or 8 elderly white women (late 60-70's)..... Floyd came on t.v. and did you know, every last one of them knew who he was.... Granted they were saying he's a loud mouth and an ass..... What stuck me they was like young man do you know of Muhammad Ali ....... I reply yes im only 23, but he is my favorite boxer..... As they all light up simultaneously ..... They yell well Floyd is just like him you know.... If you dont want him talking so much trash beat him up....... I laugh and say exactly...... Last but not least the women obviously follow some boxing from Ali to now.... One says young fella what is the name of the Japanese guy that Floyd wanna fight......I laugh and say his is a filipino and his name is Manny Pacquiao... The big deal wasn't that they didn't know his name, but they didn't know he was filipino...... With that being said.... Him and Pinoy go hand and hand ..... So not to know his name and race in the general public , makes him not that main stream.....

Now their gonna try to make sense outta this but they cant. Floyd is by far the much bigger draw. LMFAO. After May/Mosley does 2 mill Manny will have to take a 70/30 cut and the random blood test. He should've taken the test for March 13th. Dummy!!!!!!!!!

[Boss Don]

Floyd has a partner to help him do that, lol. Put Floyd in with Clottey instead of Pac and he does 350K........

Yeah right not only would Floyd sale more with Clottey but Clottey would make more fighting Floyd than he did fighting Pacquiao

jerry dallas cowboys jones and bob arum milked manny pacquiao big time.

I wrote this in another thread so I will just put it in here. I was actually 2 seperate post. Margarito and alot of guys have had headlines but they all put up sucky numbers. JMM in his very next fight will probably be on regular HBO or his PPV will do 150,000 and he only is getting that much because his name after Floyd.

With that being said, 2 things are a given now wether people want to admit it or not. 1 is that Floyd is the biggest star & money maker in the sport. Pac fans cant seriously argue against that. You just cant. The 2nd thing though is that 700,000 against an unknown name is beast stuff that wouldve never happened a couple of years ago so it shows you how big Pac is and how far the sport has come. Floyd & Pac wouldve given anything a few years ago to get 500,000 and now they will feel like bums if they get that. Thats great for boxing. **** UFC

This is what happens when you fight Cotto 1.2 million buys. And then go fight the guy who just lost to Cotto after you destroyed Cotto=700,000 buys don't worry they'll try and make it look good by saying Manny did it all by himself lol. That's just a cover up. He wasn't in the ring by himself all night now was he? alright then. And didn't Arum say that Pacquiao-Clottey would sell as much as Pacquiao-Cotto? yeah he did. Pacquiao couldn't even crack a million. Well one thing is for sure. He can forget about a 50-50 split with Mayweather that is out the window. And he has noone to blame but himself cause he quickly signed to fight Clottey to duck Mayweather!!

That's true, any other time this would be a good number to brag about. But when your number goes down by more than 400'000 buys, its gonna raise some questions. What people fail to mention when doing the comparison is that when floyd/marquez did 1.6million buys he was also going head to head with a UFC ppv too. Right now team pacquaio has to be praying that Mosley wins for 2 reasons. One, i think we can all agree that unless the mosley/mayweather fight doesnt go down, it will do at minimum double that, and the 2nd reason and most important one, they can get out of taking RANDOM blood test.

HOw much did Pac earn? $15M and Clottey? $3M.

That leaves nearly $20M in gate and PPV.....

Arum is a wealthy, wealthy bastard.

clottey got 1 million/

gate was over 28 million i think

[Ray*]

If the Mayweather-Mosley fight do 2million buys or even the 3 million projected by GBP then i dont really know how people would expect Mayweather to get 50% in a Pacquiao fight.
