Sorry to bring up PPV #'s, but...

fact of the matter is, if Floyd was the bigger draw, Mosley/May should have beaten Cotto/Pac. but its not looking that way so 50/50 is fair. No matter how hard Floyd fanatics try to spin it.

Very nice, I remember when Floyd was retired and they talked to him about fighting Shane and he said he wanted a guarantee of 20 million and people laughed at him, now if its true hes getting 23 then thats excellent pay.

well ppl say he "ducked" shane when he came back, and fought jmm instead. what ppl fail to mention, is that he was offered a guarantee of 8 million to fight shane at the time.....

not really. cotto has always been a bigger draw than shane.

cotto is probably 3rd, as a draw, behind manny and floyd, even though the "aura" surronding cotto has been worn off a bit due to his recent performances....

there's still no argument that cotto was/is a bigger draw than mosley.

my initial thought 'what a hypocrite...another ppv thread'



jk



yea, i agree...i think that if PBF-Shane would have hit 2mil buys, then PAC-PBF doesnt happen (still dont think it'll happen but it prevented another roadblock from forming)

You make a joke in every single post don't you?

Cool, I think OST might get in the way, but its one of those things that I actually strongly agree with... I think its a good thing to have those tests (thats JMO though, others may be different).

To be honest, I am kinda sick of the who is the bigger draw **** now... they are both huge draws... they are both the best out there, the fight is in demand because of both guys so 50/50 is the way forward, period.

At first I didn't mind talking about it, but it just got way out of hand.

promoters fee?


aint that some ****...even GBP had to pay Floyd after fronting all the promotional parts of the fight

They split the money because Mayweather Promotions also promoted the fight. You always see Floyd's logo everywhere when he fights because his company is also part of the promotion team. GBP does most of the promotion work and front all the money for the fights. They end up getting millions and their money back.

dont give that BS. Everytime Floyd was asked if he would fight Cotto, he said Cotto wasn't a PPV draw and that was the exact same ***** his fans where saying on here and NOW that Pac does over a million with him, its because Cotto's ALWAYS been a draw?

Not to mention that Floyd fans were saying the fight wouldnt sell **** because the 24/7 was "boring" and Cotto was a robot with no personality which was why Floyd didn't fight him. And don't forget, Schaefer HIMSELF said that Mayweather/Mosley has been the most heavily promoted fight in GBP history.

Not only that, Pac actually fought someone with virtually NO fan base and also with NO 24/7 and did 700K. How much did Floyd's last fight do with someone and no 24/7? 350K with Baldomir.

50/50 or retire.

Why are you comparing a prime Pacquiao to a young Floyd who was still trying to make a name for himself?

TR also said Pac vs. Clottey was going to sell 2 million.
