Dan Rafael: "Pac's 700K PPV buys = Floyd/Judah and Floyd/Baldomir COMBINED"

[screwhead1]

Dan is slowly becoming the worst journalist ever...

[-The Glove-]

Ay he's just "keeping it real". Don't hate on the man because he's a fan of Pacquiao and writes good things about him.

[Kalion]

This.

Dan Rafidiot needs to be fired...

He passed that point three years ago.

you know its great that Manny has come from where he did into the megastar he is now

its great he is making loads of money has adorning fans and is an excited all time fighter

but cmon the comparison was weak and to be honest wrong totally wrong

[War Dinamita]

Another ****ing idiot who needs to get his mouth away from Pac's balls.

How are you going to compare the new Pac to the old Floyd? Floyd became a superstar a few years ago and you're comparing his old numbers to one of the most popular boxers right now.

Pac vs. Clottey = A fighter in his prime, the most popular boxer, and the 2nd biggest draw.

Floyd vs. Judah and Baldomir = Still not a star, still coming up in the sport, not being promoted by Arum, etc.

[Mr. Philadel]

Absolutely ******. You cant compare Pacs post-delahoya numbers to floyds pre-delahoya numbers. Their numbers must be compared after they got their hoya wins. Or else I could say that

Floyds 1million PPV buys= Pac/Morales 1&2 and Pac/Barrera 2 and Pac/Diaz COMBINED!


fatfael is **** as a journalist and his hate for Mayweather is evident.

fat Dan just got owned!!!

It's ok to write good things about a fighter, but when your bias crosses over and makes you disregard logic just to hate on a fighter, you've crossed the line. But then again, they was never a line with Dan since we all knows his biases, and shouldn't really expect better from him.

[apokalips]

This is what you get when someone is determined to hate on another person. Amazing that such a guy is one of the main journalistic representatives of the Boxing world. In what way is this a fair comparison?

I'm honestly shocked that he could think and write that opinion with a straight face.
