    But why does Floyd seem to do better if not the same, with half the press or hype.love?
    Manny/Mosley & Floyd/Mosley.... Don't seem rite to me seeing as tho Manny is supposed to be bigger, or is it just the fact he's liked and the hype don't match the numbers?
    Actually, Manny gets way more because......he doesn't fight just 3 times in say 5 years.

    So what's more attractive to everyone concerned with money? Floyd pulling 1.3 mil once every few years, or Manny pulling 1.3 mil twice a year or more?

        because there are more casual and delusional floyd fanatics (like you) who will buy anything that floyd offers. you only follow boxing because of floyd. that's why other black american fighters are complaining that they are not getting enough support because all your attentions are focused on floyd.

          Pacquiao gets the press, firstly because he's appealing and secondly because he's active.

          Floyd gets the numbers, because he's American, obviously.

          I don't get why this argument is 'valid' when talking about Pac and PBF. If someone was to ask why Haye gets bigger PPV numbers in the UK than Wlad, is it really not that obvious?

          I don't disagree Floyd should get more of the PPV split if they were to fight, if he is getting the higher numbers. But for people to asking why he's getting bigger numbers in his own country, really shouldn't need asking.

            The reason it didnt sell more was because it was a crap fight and most boxing fans knew that. It still did 1.25 which is good, but the reason it probably didn't do as well as Floyd Mosley was because Mosley was considered a live opponent too.

              Use your common sense, floyd fights like once a year so fans will be more inclined to pay because its much more rare to see him fight

              pac fights twice a year so the hype will be less near fight night

                  Ah, come on now, Pacboys.... I've seen you guys defend Manny's PPV numbers on here as well.

                  The fact that PPV numbers even matter, to any of you, is ridiculous. When I get a cut, then I'll give a damn.

                      It's because PAC fights actual opponents.

                      While, Floyd fights his wife and children.

                      PAC is a global icon. Floyd is not. No matter what you think, no matter how much you think this is unfair, no matter how much you piss and moan, it doesn't change that this is true.
                      so this is why Floyd always gets the most PPVs and least exposure of the two....i see. lol
