Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao PPV History (Total Buys)

[THE REED]

If you are actually including the Clotty fight when comparing Pac to Floyd's PPV numbers then I don't need to be bitter when I'm actually amused by your illogical and downright dumb theory.

First of all, don't come at me like a little kid.

Second of all, did you read what I even said?

Are you still bitter about me replying to someone who SAID, that their last 3 fights are about the same.

How does Pacquiao getting PPV's at lower weight classes show he was a huge draw?

Chavez Jr. is headlining PPV's now. Is he a draw?

All that shows is that Top Rank is ****ing smart. They had a great and exciting fighter in Manny Pacquiao and had the opportunity to match him and the Philippines up with Barrera, Morales, Marquez and the Mexicans. Of course that's gonna do good numbers.

That's part of the reason why Floyd left Top Rank. Bob Arum never believed he would have PPV appeal.

Good work on laying out all the numbers..

thanks bro...numbers dont lie...

Are you still bitter about my post yesterday, where I was replying to someone who said that their last 3 fights were about even...?

wait...*** everything else for now....someone actually SAID THAT?

[Versatility]

The general public buy into WW, MW and HW fights. The lower classes are just plain not popular when it comes to the casual fan. Hell, Pac was still an unknown (except for die-hards and Filipinos) until the DLH match and he was one of the biggest names in the featherweight/lightweight division.

excuses...wait i got some more you can use:

"he isnt american"

"he doesnt speak perfect english like floyd"

"coz of the recession"

wait...*** everything else for now....someone actually SAID THAT?

Exactly... so I corrected HIM... and pistolwhip got bitter because I was comparing their last 3 fights.

When really.......... I was correcting someone else who was.

Barrera did the same numbers with Morales as he did with Pacquiao.

Thus, Erik Morales is as big of a draw as Manny Pacquiao.

Pac having more PPV fights doesnt make him a bigger draw.

Chavez Jr is the main event in a PPV this saturay to put things in perpesctive.

Pac didn't just headline PPV's like Chavez Jr does he did solid numbers for someone fighting in the featherweight and Jr Lightweight divisions. 300,000+ PPV buys is unheard of above below the 140 pound weight limit.


And don't give me this Arum wasn't promoting him well all Floyd championship fights were on HBO for christ sake 90% of all fighters can only dream of getting that kind of promotion. The issue with Arum was that floyd wasn't making the money he wanted even though back then he was fighting in front of much smaller crowds and ratings for his fights were average at best. thats why he wasn't on PPV till he went up past the LW division.

Once again there is a huge diffrence between the maybe 50 or 60 thousand PPV's Junior will do and the 300,000+ PPV Pac was doing at featherweight.

Maybe it's you that has to put things in perspective because Pac wasn't just headlining PPV's he was actually drawing large numbers even as a featherweight and jr LW.
