    there is a point to be made for the 24/7 argument. Those numbers your showing are pretty average until the 24/7 fights come up. DLH, Hatton, JMM, all 24/7 help. Nothing wrong with that, it's an awesome promotional tool, but according to those numbers shown, 24/7 makes a huge difference.

      You guys overrate 24/7 way too much. The show is good for casual fans, but they didn't start selling millions because of 24/7. They started to sell millions because they became superstars and became household names. They would still sell millions without 24/7.

            Well thats oversimplifying things.

            The 24/7 shows ofcourse helps to draw people to buy the event. But only the biggest fights get these shows to begin with. They would have bigger drawpower even without the shows.

              I don't know what's soo offensive if your favorite fighter isn't as "popular" as the next.

              Mayweather and his fans have no one to blame but Mayweather. He's just not that fun to watch. Granted that Mosley fight was a rare case, but that was mostly due to the fact Mosley showed he can Knock down, if not Knock out Mayweather. But after that it was a typical pot-shot fest. It was a more active Mayweather, but I don't see why everyone got all moist over that fight.

                No it wasnt. Floyd stood firm and planted his feets ready to engage and exchange. The mosley vs mayweather fight was an exciting performance on floyds part.

                And Floyds popularity is not really the topic. I think most people realise Pacquiao has more fans or are "loved" by more people.
                This is about who is a bigger draw (as in who generate more money). You can have 0 fans and still be the biggest draw in boxing. As long as people hate you enough to tune in.

                  for me that means that being honest...


                  packy > mayweather.


                  Sugar aint a draw, but he was WAY WAY MORE FAN BASE THAN CLOTTEY... plus sugar vs may had more buzz than packy vs clottey...


                  still, there was no big difference in the numbers of ppv buys.


                  packy's fan base > money may's

                  thats all...

                  +


                  jesus christ!!!!! You are painfully ******.

                    They became superstars and household names to casual fans yes, which helped the sales. Look at the numbers prior to the 24/7 fights. They average 350K.

                    Again, there is nothing wrong with that, it a good promotion. Look at the numbers on PAcs PPVS, and compare the Pac PPVS with 24/7, huge difference.
                    It works, i don't see why it so hard to swallow those facts.

                      Im just going by the PPV list that was posted earlier. The average PPV was 350K. The 24/7 promoted fights took a huge leap.
