Do you think if Floyd took the Pac/Clottey approach to promoting the fight with Oscar it would have done 2.4 mil? I highly doubt that. People were intrigued by that. They wanted to see if Floyd could back it up and they wouldn't to see if Oscar would make him pay. But when you just sit there and listen to two guys talk about how much respect they have for each other it's pretty boring and generates no interest. But still people saying that manny generated all the ppv buys for that fight as if there are no Africans that live in the United States is ridiculous. Yes Clottey is representing Ghana but Africans will still support him. Just like when Ghana was the last African team in the World Cup all the African nations got behind Ghana. Yeah Pac was a big reason but also give credit to Cowboys stadium. With such cheap tickets I would have bought a ticket just to say I was in Cowboys stadium. So look at everything before you start giving Pacquiao ALL the credit.
Clottey clearly legitimized that fight. People act like Clottey wasn't a former world champion. I say Clottey clearly brought in 150-250 thousand buys for that fight beit boxing fans, Africans or people looking to see Manny against someone legit. I'd say Manny's numbers are around 400-500 thousand right now while Floyd is the million dollar baby.Last edited by Sugar Q; 07-31-2010, 12:13 PM.

Floyd in his last 2 fights made around 70million. He is OK right now, he is not hurting for money. Is no reason to defend a guy so adamant like you have in this tread. Especially since is really a nothing type of story with the facts not all the way in yet. Like I said I maybe in the make believe Pac Mafia but your really on this dudes **** for you to be defending him so much over a bull**** issue. Get off his nuts man. No internet warrior here either just calling it like I see it. But, take it easy me dude

(You know what's pathetic? Is that you people refuse to see the truth and that is Mayweather is not like that in real life.)
Hey I have to give you props. This is very true, Mayweather is really a cool dude in person. I got to meet him a while back in CA. He is a very humble dude, It really surprised me. I really think he plays that evil character to help sell PPV'S? Also if you noticed during his last couple of interviews, i'm starting to see that come out. I think he realizes that to many people hate him now.

lets be real... its safe to assume manny generated 99.9% of all revenue for the pac/clottey fight... i know a few africans, and they dont care about boxing.... FUTBOL is the worlds sport. btw, do you know the % of african population in TEXAS???? because im pretty sure they didnt make the fight in cowboy stadium because of the HUGE african community. since mexicans embraced manny as their own, it was a good sign that the fight would do great in texas. bob knows what he's doing.
i agree, the humble & respectful approach to manny's pre fight promo DOESNT help him... it DOES get boring.... but he makes up for it IN THE RING.... where it matters.

i have never seen anyone get so fired up, upset and insulted by things said
about mayweather.. this is how a person would act if he was their son. are
you in tears as you are typing?
secondly, who cares if people do not spell correctly here....its a damn forum.
third, calm down, before you have a damn stroke or heart attack.
mayweather is solid as **** in the ring. but he is a piece of **** outside of it,
by the way he carries himself..
i mean, what DUDE puts 50 g's in diamonds on an ipod?
unless he is gay or a chick, men dont do that.
of course he isnt gay, but my point is he does dumb ****.
always has, never figured out how to conduct himself correctly.
you all think he is a genius business man, when in fact he isnt.
i would have liked to see him conduct himself the right way years ago and if he did
he would be supported and loved by all of america as our boxer just like the other legendary boxers were
instead we have mma getting all the attention when the better athletes and more skilled fighters are boxers....
mayweather could have been put on a pedestool by america, instead he is condemned by most all fans...
get my point?
he does dumb ****, always has

Clottey was not a huge name! There are a lot of Argentians that followed Baldomir ,yet the fight with Baldo-Mayweather ppv numbers didn't do so well.

You was outta line so if anyone needs to be easy it's you. 2nd of all i'm not on Floyd's nuts for the last time. I think he's a hell of a boxer one of the best to ever do it. Great defense and proficient in offense. But I do defend him against racist filippinos and other races. As a black man in America I deal with race issues a lot. But it is what it is. But I will defend my race.
seriously, leave the race card out of it... please
mayweather is not even in the top 30 boxers of all time
he is killing his own legend, which he doesnt care, he is there for the money
but it is hurting his fans, who feel he is top 5, which will never happen
top 30 for him would be a leap
