The Bigger Draw: Mosley or JMM?

[THE REED]

Who bought in more money to fight Mayweather??Answer that and you can end the thread..

Nah...

Because the JMM fight was a harder fight to sell because JMM wasnt a legit welterweight, where Mosley was.

Mosley at WW imo is a bigger threat then JMM at WW..They both look like **** the last time they fought there but Mosley has more experience at the weight...

Depends on if they do a lower weight catchweight for jmm...

Both did around 100-200 buys on their last PPV fight. I think its even, but Mosley Azucar demographics attracting blacks and mexicans would be the factor.

Mosley is washed up and needs to retire NO ONE wants to see a 1st round KO

That's what I'm saying,Pac is a legit 147lb at the moment that's why Roach and Arum want the fight there..JMM is going to look like **** all over again..I have to go with Mosley or Bradley as Pac's best future opponents not name Mayweather..

I forgot about all the times Mosley was KO'd..

[Pullcounter]

Because Mosley was considered an actual threat at the time to Floyd..

It peaked interest in the matchup.

JMM at welterweight?

Not so much.

Numbers can lie.

mosley at 147 lbs still poses a bigger threat to pac than jmm, even at 140 lbs.

mosley has several selling points (everyone of them a ***** talking point):

1. mosley KOed marg, pac couldn't
2. pac don't fight African americans (mosley is AA)
3. pac fights at catchweight (mosley/pac won't have a catchweight)

jmm has only 1 selling point (also a ***** talking point):

1. jmm had 2 close fights w/ pac at 126 and 130 lbs
   

if you really think about it, the mosley fight is the fight that is easier to promote imho.

Stop posting in my thread with that ridiculous font.

You sound like a little kid screaming your opinion over everyone else.

No man, just no...

On the real I think it could be easier to sell Berto right now at 147 than it is Shane would be...

Damn I don't want to see JMM-Pac above 135. But, just cuz of their history that crappy fight might sell at 140. Especially if it is in May around Cinco de Mayo weekend or in September for Mexican Independence Day...

[jrosales13]

Mosley has been in bigger PPV's than Marquez.

One of the DLH fights sold 900k
Mayweather fight sold 1.4Mill
I think he sold 500k with one of the Vargas fights

Marquez sold 1.1Million with Mayweather
400k with Pacquiao
Who knows what the Diaz II and Casamayor fights sold

But as of right now, it could be a toss up, but Marquez has a Mexican fanbase behind him and Americans don't really support Mosley.

I think that number is so underrated. Some people don't understand that for that weight-class that is an equivalent of around a million buys... Just look at the PPV history below LW.
