Fighting P. Will wouldn't do good PPV numbers for FLOYD..

Again, further evidence of fans actually giving a **** how much their favorite fighter makes.

Mind-boggling.

It's an aspect of the sport you can't ignore. Would you fight Paul Williams for 15 million, when you can fight Cotto/Mosley for 30+? No-one would.

Thats a different conversation. What you're referring to is what is in the fighters best financial interest.

What I am referring to is "fans" not wanting to see a fight because their favorite fighter is NOT making enough money.

Would anyone care how much Floyd makes if he was to fight Paul Williams? Apparently, yes, some people on this forum care. and thats the mind-boggling part.

Naw I disagree with that, Floyd and Paul could do good numbers! **** Floyd and Marquaz did good numbers why not Paul and Floyd?

Just the build-up towards the fight would make it big! How Paul Williams is the most feared man and avoided in boxing can simply be promoted by itself! The Casual fans (people) would just look at Paul's frame and wonder how Floyd's gonna deal wit this (especially when there face to face)? The 24/7 would be great cause both sides would be talking hella ****!

Paul and Floyd could do numbers!

2 black fighters will never do the same numbers as the best black fighter vs the best mexican fighter....

but if Manny vs a literal nobody can do 700k why can't Mayweather do better with a guy who has been on HBO for some time now and involved in a FOTY candidate last year?

that itself means more than the paltry 400k you suggest

Not to mention his fight is teamed with the Mayweather-Mosley replay, you could not ask for a better set up.

Paul Williams is a lanky, easy to hit joke. Mayweather will school his silly ass.

The only fight everyone really wants to see is Pac vs Floyd with full drug testing to show who the real P4P king is.

So you want to see Floyd vs Marquez again?





On Topic: Floyd vs PWill will do better numbers than Pac-Clottey.

24/7 would put enough hype on PWill to sell the fight. It will probably revolve around the 'most feared man in boxing' moniker, to hype him up. Then casual fans will believe it and then see 'the most feared man in boxing' vs 'the most skilled boxer ever'.

[champ007]

Casual fans don't care who Floyd is fighting, they take the boxing world's word that it will be a good fight. Then they buy the ppv.

[PensionKiller]

Dude has never been on Pay Per View and most casual fans don't know his name. This fight would probably do 400k worth of ppv buys. Plus I predict another landslide for Floyd....

sTOP DUCKING HIM,

How many PPV did hatton have?

24/7 sells a fight great.

Everytime they actually give the underdog a chance

The only underdog who won was perhaps pac vs oscar, but the rest was all hype

400K IS BULL****.

Who the *** was clottey?
