Floyd is the bigger PPV draw no doubt.

But, is it safe to say that Floyd and Pac might/will break Oscar-Floyd PPV record?

So wouldn't that also mean that Floyd would get his biggest PPV with Pac?

Yes it would but being that everyone is getting their biggest PPV sales with him, he has to get it with someone. As of right now it is Dela Hoya and if he fights Pac it could be him But what would it say about the current state of boxing if Pac vs Mayweather doesn't break May vs Dela Hoya even though i think that is unlikely.

Im now on the fence on this. The hype was at its peak back in December, January and February.

Now Im not sure it beats Oscar-Floyd anymore. This ifght is losing its luster IMO its turning off more people than its turned on.

Gatti was shown on regular HBO.

Yes, they did have their highest PPV. But you guys are acting like its because of Mayweather ONLY that they have the highest PPV. Dela Hoya have a huge following. Hatton was getting alot of coverage here in the US. JMM have a his Mexicans heritage following in the US. Mosley has been known around the boxing world for almost 18 years.

Let say a Mayweather-Pacquiao happens and it became the most PPV seller of all time. So Pac has nothing to do with it. Pac attracted 1 million something against Cotto. 700,000 against Clottey, Clottey might be known but not in mainstream America. I know people(non-Filipinos) who bought the Pac-Clottey fight but have no idea who is Clottey. They only found out after reading from newpapers and internet.

It takes 2 to tango, not one.

So it's just a coincidence that non-PPV fighters get their first PPVs with Mayweather, and so called PPV draws do ridiculous numbers that they have never been close to before...when they fight Mayweather. It's just a coincidence, nothing to see here. Nothing special, it could have happened with any other boxer right?

BTW I didn't know exactly what you meant by this. You mean Gatti was always shown on regular HBO before his PPV fight with Mayweather. Because at 35 years old, you should have been around to remember that Gatti-Mayweather was HBO PPV. I hope you didn't mean to say Gatti-Mayweather was on WCB.

Floyd will also have his highest ppv # with Manny.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I know, I know. I think me being an ******* has a little to do with it as well.

Your acting like Judah and Baldomir attracted a million PPV's.

Mayweather might have attracted more fans to buy the PPV's but when his fighting an opponent, like JMM, who has a large following of Mexican heritage in the US. Add them together and what you get, lots of PPV's sold.


Just look at the 2nd largest PPV, Tyson-Holyfield, both names attracted fans to buy the fight. Another example is Dela Hoya-Trinidad.

[Crazylegs77]

Coincidentally Gatti(I think), Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, DLH, Marquez & Mosley had there all time high PPV numbers with Mayweather. And you know who else will have his biggest PPV buys with Mayweather? Manny Pacquiao.


Yet I see threads trying to discredit Mayweather's number's against Shane Mosley, when not even Prime DLH topped 1Mill PPV buys vs Mosley in neither fight.

The great thing about Floyd and PPV is his ability to get non fans to buy. I would guess that a decent percentage of non boxing fans who purchase the event just want to see him get KOd. Pac is pretty popular now though so I wouldnt say Floyd was a superior draw. Both of them together is where the PPV gets its appeal.
