It's best to keep quite when you know nothing about finance.
What matters in this case are the number of fans who are willing to pay to watch a fighter fighting and how much those people pay.People can talk about how the Cowboys stadium was filled,that means nothing when those people paid only $25 to get in.Manny has more fights on his resume and more knockouts,against who?So how much ppv did he generate from those many fights.If it's less then what this means is less people are willing to pay to watch Manny fighting than they are willing to watch Floyd fighting.Again some people will claim Manny's not American,then let him be happy with his less cut.Comment

I think Pacquiao is more popular than Floyd. Of course, Americans love Mayweather because he is an American too.
Wasn't Manny recognized as Fighter of the Decade? What recognitions has Floyd received to claim his the best fighter who ever lived?Comment

Popularity means nothing if those so called fans are not willing to pay to watch him fight.All those so called fans do is shout and when it comes to ppv they dont buy and they dont even go to Pacquiao's fights.Arum did notice that Pacquiao's fans are either poor or misers that's why Pacquiao's fights are cheap.That's why so many people filled the Cowboy stadium and yet not much money was made from gate takings.
On the other hand Mayweather has more affluent fans,his ringside seats are more expensive and thats why he makes more at the gate from less people.Come fight night Mayweather fans are willing to pay to watch him fight.There used to be a myth that people pay to watch Mayweather losing,there is no evidence to suggest that.Even the fans who go to watch Mayweather,they will be standing and cheering him as he fights and seems like the who is who in the world will be there.
All this is translated in how much Mayweather makes.In his fight with Marquez, Mayweather made more money than Pacquiao did fighting Marquez and his ppv were more than Pacquiao's.Pacquiao wouldnt fight Mosley because of the risk and Mosley was also said not to bring anything to the table.Mayweather made more ppvs and revenue with a guy who brought nothing to the table.He has been having good ppvs so who says Mayweather is not popular?Last edited by Jim Tom; 06-22-2010, 07:26 AM.Comment
