    Which does more PPV #'s Pac vs. Marquez/Mosely

    Obviously its clear at this point Arum wants an opponent that will generate the most dollars..

    In your opinion, which fight does more PPV's, Gate Sales, etc.

    I think Pac vs. Marquez is more marketable the Mosely. TR can market the fight with Marquez taking Pac too the limit. Two close fights..

    Plus if they can do 1.15 Mil selling cheater like Marg, imagine the fan base and following Marquez would bring if this fight were made.

    Pac vs. Marquez would outsell Mosely IMO.. Your thoughts...

    I would agree that Pac-Marquez would seem to do bigger numbers, but Mayweather-Mosley's PPV numbers far exceeded his fight with Marquez. It's tough to call.

      I believe Mosley will sell more than JMM. both are known to boxing fans but Mosley is more popular to the casual fans that comprises 91% of PPV sales.

      The Mosley fight however, will not add to pacquiao's legacy. It will in fact have a negative impact on him... critics will say he fought an old wash up fighter that mayweather dominated in 12 rounds... Zero credit for Pac here.

        It's clear that Bob Arum wants the easiest fight for Manny, so Bob Arum will cherry-pick Shane Mosley since Mosley looked like garbage in his last 2 fights.

          Marquez money wise would be the biggest fight other than Mayweather. Due to the history these guys have people will be interested, even more if they do it with a 24/7 and showing both fights on HBO before hand.

          Easily can sell out MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay and do 1.3mill+. EASY.

            True, but even the casual fan would look at Mosely and say he isnt the same, why would they want to see Pac whos far more in his prime fight Shane....

            They can spin that Marquez gave Pac his toughest fights to date.. 247 did a good job making Pac look like he wasnt prepared for his fight with Marg. Im sure they can come up with a pre fight drama to sell it..

            Also, Marquez would be a wise choice style wise for Pac if Pac were to ever fight Mayweather.. Pac has to convincingly look good against one of the best counter punchers in the game.. Kind of like a mini tune up for Floyd..

              Both are fights i'm not really interested in. If it was just about money Arum would do everything he can to get Mayweather in the ring and he isn't.

                The thing is I just dont get how they would sell Pac vs. Mosely.. What drama do the two have.. Their both likable characters outside the ring and the 247 wouldnt even be that exciting.. All my opinion of course..

                How would they market Pac vs. Mosely, by having Hopkins continuously preach "Pac hasnt fought a slick African American" through the whole 24/7?

                  Now thats something I agree with you on.. 24/7 can market the fight as "Pac having a hard time with Marquez and some say Pac lost"

                  I mean if they can sell a caught hand wrap cheater like Marg im sure they can sell Pac vs. Marquez at 140-147.. Its all how they spin the 24/7's

                    I aint pushing for either fight, obviously I want Pac vs. Floyd.. and your right, if the goal is for THE BIGGEST MONEY FIGHT which Arum stated, Arum should be personally knocking on Floyds door, camping out on his lawn even...
