50/50, no cut off, 8 oz. reyes gloves, 20 foot ring, 1,000,000 per pound (which is pointless), and we have a fight. How difficult can that really be? Mayweather has better numbers, but not by much. It's a shame that we haven't witnessed this fight yet. People blame Floyd but it's clear that there has to be some blame on Pacquiao's side. I see that Pacquiao's trainer seems to be concerned about the upcoming fight. He was concerned about Shane Mosley as well. Watching Floyd Mayweather dissect Shane Mosley, watching Floyd dissect Victor Ortiz, and Juan Manuel Marquez, I'd have to say that I'm inclined to think that a fight with Floyd Mayweather represents a nightmare scenario for Freddie Raoch. Bob Arum knows that once his fighter loses to Floyd, there will be no multi-million dollar cash out on Pacquiao events. These guys believe in ducking fighters in favor of easier tasks that make half good fighters, look like great fighters.Comment

Now take a break and take a big deep breath...now stop concentrating on mayweather or the PPV numbers..concentrate on arum and what he said the other day..
Do you know that he signed bradley the other day?? Do you know why he did it?? If you don't then let me tell you...bradley sold himself to top rank because after the jmm fight pac will fight bradley..and now think about it for a minute..if arum I won't mention pac because pac has nothing to say but if arum really wanted to make mayweather vs pacquiao do you think he would be planning all these fight??
He does it after every pac fight..there are always two or three people waiting for pac..no talk of mayweather..
Arum lies to pac fans but pac fans to blind to see..arum feeds you with lies to hate on mayweather too keep you busy..while he's match making top rank fighters to face top rank fighters..
Arum is the only problem here not mayweather nor pacquiao..if you want to see the fight talk to arum..he's holding it up.
Some people eat anything fed to them. Arum is feeding them fake meat. Umm Uhmm Yummy! Now swallow..Comment

floyd does a lot right (in a marketing sense)... no surprise he pulls the bigger numbers.
• he gets at opponent first (compared to pac taking "leftovers")... benefiting from opponents peak marketability (oscar, ricky, shane).
• unmatched pre-fight HYPE & controversy build-up (villian role)
• fighting only ONCE a year builds anticipation
• great matchmaking with GBP
• GBP build up of opponents
compared to pac:
• pac fighting "leftovers"
• dull... almost non-existant pre-fight build-up or hype (too nice)
• fights TWICE, fans expected to pay $60 bucks (x2) for the year.
• arum's choice of opponent is HORRIBLE
• arum seems to give paydays to in-house (undeserving) opponents.
real talk: if pac fought once a year, in typical exciting fashion, and adds pre-fight buzz... pac would do better in PPV numbers. bottom line, arum is milking his third-world workhorse. and nothing benefits pac...
if floyd fought twice a year, with the outcomes being the same... i think his numbers would slip due to casual fans feeling "robbed".... but currently, floyd has been brilliant regarding his professional career.Comment
