He got screwed by ODLH no doubt, but ODLH is also retired, and the only other active fighter that can generate those figures with him is Manny.

Originally posted by BuckToothed View PostI think the point that is being argued, is that Floyd doesn't need Manny to sell another 1-1.5 million PPV.
But he needs Manny if he wants to sell another 2.4 million PPV, AND take a bigger piece of the pie.

Originally posted by iNDOLiFER View PostManny will never outsell Floyd, so what? Manny is not even from this country, speaks very lil English, I think he's doing great for who he is and where he came from. Name another athlete from any sports that is from another country that is getting as much play as manny. I swear u *****s get so wet over ppv numbers and sales it's like this is the only thing u guys have left to talk about when debating about floyd vs pac.
Most people that watch boxing watch it for boxing. We dont give a **** where a fighter is from if hes good.
You *******s on the other hand only give a **** because of pacs race. He would be just another blip on the radar if he was white black or mexican. Think about it stupid.

Originally posted by iNDOLiFER View Postthats exactly what im saying, i'll be happy to be in manny's situation right now and i know everyone on here would be too. i could careless if floyd is selling more ppv than manny. manny aint doing bad, he's still cashing in on everything he's involved in so why hate?
Manny is the 2nd biggest attraction in boxing. Thats the honest to god truth and it shouldn't bother you that much. There is nothing wrong with being #2 to floyd.

Originally posted by Big Dunn View PostIf floyd wants to break his record yes he can only do it with manny. But I'm sure if floyd fought Sergio Martinez next he could exceed 1.5 mil. The point is referencing manny in no way helps floyd sell anything.
Ortiz = Martinez when it comes to popularity, which is low... Both haven't fought PPV before either.
Floyd's only other career high PPV is with Mosley (1.4m), who fought ODLH twice.

No word of OST, and I swear when Floyd was talking about his court cases he'll bring up the Pacquiao defamation suit... nothing, nada.
