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?

Good point. They have the hugest fan base and buy the most ppv's

JMM is a nobody now? OK....

LOL, I know... its sad really

[Derranged]

Marquez was a nobody??

Anyway.. The only people that should care about PPV sales are the ones who are actually profiting from it.

This war is really getting ******er by the day.

JMM is a nobody now? OK....

He's a good fighter, but he's not a draw or the most popular Mexican fighter.

At the time bro, JMM was the most popular Mexican fighter in the US. In Mexico it was Saul Alvarez. But, people still knew who JMM was. And, lets not forget when JMM drank his own piss own 24/7 made him a household name. Non boxing shows in Spanish and English were talking about that. The man was not a nobody. Lets cut the bull**** out. I guarantee you there were many many people I am talking about thousands who knew who JMM was and not Clottey.

I never said JMM was a nobody.

Margacheato was more popular than JMM when he was active in boxing.

Margacheato and Canelo are more popular than JMM.

How much did Manny sell in the past without Mexicans?

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:

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

Marquez was a nobody. Face it. He was a guy that gave Pac a rough time...so? If you don't win you're a nobody. With that being said, Floyd is the bigger draw.

no wonder your banned..
