    adding in Cotto's 1.2 brings the average to 1.04

      dude I know you are looking for an angle to **** on Mayweather but did you really take the word of Schaefer seriously?

      did you really think he did research when he said this?

        actually this was a dig at the dominican kunt, not mayweather. in any case, who does research really into ppv predictions? or how do they do it.

          To balance it out more evenly it also has to average with the same amount of fights. You can't average Pac's last 5 fights vs. Floyd's 4. Either take out Clottey or add another floyd ppv fight.

            Pacquiao basically sold 1.15 alone .

            Just look how much PPV Margarito sold in his last fight,
            it was around 10 000 PPV s.
            the same thing could be said about shane--he went back to fighting on undercard fights and espn-lol---look at marquez's numbers before he fought floyd---

            neither was a let down imo--i don't listen to what schaffer says---i knew may vs mosley wouldn't sell as much as he predicted---only may vs manny would and could sell that much on ppv---

              Considering Mosley is not a draw by himself, and Margarito is, it should be an easy call. I personally think Shaefer was over thinking if that's what he predicted.

                I don't understand how a boring runner outdraws an all-action fighter.

                  Recalculated. Actually Floyd = an average of 1.453 not 1.53 so 1.45 and Pac without Clottey to even out the 4 best is 1.11 so Floyd has outsold many by 340k ppv buys...If you add clottey which would be 1 more fight then Floyd Pac would have outsold floyd by 360k ppv buys. What other ppv's did floyd have aside those 4 and which was the highest selling outside the ? to better compare the best 5

                      Now if you were to average the pre de la hoya numbers
                      Floyd
                      Zab Judah - 374,000
                      Arturo Gatti - 365,000
                      Carlos Baldomir - 325,000

                      Average = 354,667

                      Manny
                      Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch - 400,000
                      Erik Morales 3rd Match - 360,000
                      Marco Antonio Barrera Rematch - 350,000

                      Average = 370000
