Pac vs nobody=700k/ May vs Nobody=1mil... Enough said

[Xyei]

Floyd fought one of the biggest Mexican fighters on Mexican Independence Day.

Lets not get ******.

Seriously.

Don't you think that had something to do with it, TS? There were a lot of Mexican fans supporting Marquez to get that fight over 1M PPV buys.

[CrackYourJaw]

Seriously.

Don't you think that had something to do with it, TS? There were a lot of Mexican fans supporting Marquez to get that fight over 1M PPV buys.

That plus a 24/7 and a lot of promotion, and it was Floyd's coming out of "retirement" fight.

Pac-Clottey hardly got any promotion.

[DoubleMM]

Seriously.

Don't you think that had something to do with it, TS? There were a lot of Mexican fans supporting Marquez to get that fight over 1M PPV buys.

So why did Pacquiao-JMM only do 400k. Mayweather-JMM was over double that........

Where were all those mexican fans then?

exactly. Floyd was retired you gotta remember that so no matter how hard it was promoted, Mayweather had already "fallen off the map" and was retired for 2 years so that's a huge achievement to get that many sales when everyone's already forgotten about you. It's a testament to his star power.

Ummm, beating DLH makes you a star since he garners so much attention, just ask Floyd.

You think JMM AND PAC now won't hit over 800k?


Everybody knows that Oscar de la Hoya is the non-heavyweight PPV king. Mayweather and Paccquiao become famous through De la Hoya halo effect.*

Here's a side by side comparison of Pacquiao and Mayweather before and after De la Hoya made them more famous.


Mayweather's Highest PPV before De la Hoya:

Zab Judah - 374,000
Arturo Gatti - 365,000
Carlos Baldomir - 325,000

TOTAL : 1,064,000


Pacquiao's Highest PPV Fights before De la Hoya:

Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch - 400,000
Erik Morales 3rd Match - 360,000
Marco Antonio Barrera Rematch - 350,000

TOTAL: 1,110,000


Now, here's both of their PPV buys AFTER De la Hoya. You can see that it increased considerably:

Mayweather Fights after De la Hoya

Juan Manuel Marquez - 1,050,000
Ricky Hatton - 925,000

TOTAL: 1,975,000


Pacquiao Fights after De la Hoya

Miguel Cotto - 1,250,000
Ricky Hatton - 850,000

TOTAL: 2,100,000


If we take the 2 highest PPV buys of their pre-Oscar fights and compare them with after-Oscar fights PPV buys, here's what it would look like:

Marquez = big mexican fan base, that's why the fight got 1 million in PPV and also because of Floyd.

Clottey = no Ghanian fan base, 700k was because of Pac's draw.

use your head dumb ass.

Big fan base? lol. How come he didn't sell a lot before his fight with Floyd?

Compare SSM and Clottey. According to both Floyd and Team Pacquiao, SSM is not a big draw and he doesn't have a lot of fans.

Floyd would have sold way more than Manny if he fought Mexicans.

How much did Manny sell before he became a start without fighting Mexicans?

JMM is a nobody now? OK....
