dude thats 4208 closed circuit tv seats, not arena seat, and only 36 seat at the arena went unsold, because Floyd tickets are way more expensive than Mannys, you argument12s it ******, thats big business, 94 miil ,1
12mil live gate 717k closed circuit 107million generated in 1 night. Floyds a star, and dont give me that Canelo crap, he will be lucky to crack 200k im his stand alone ppv in september, average american doesnt know him

[Check_hooks]

How can you demand more than 50/50 against the highest paid athlete in the world when you can't even sell out the MGM grand and CC?

Floyds numbers are good but don't even compare them to Pac. Floyd vs Cotto was 2 american citizens fighting on the biggest weekend in the sport and had the biggest Mexican star on the undercard and only sold 100k more PPV's than two foreigners fighting on a random weekend in November (Pac vs Marquez 3)

If Pac fought Marquez on May 5, that fight would've done over 2 million PPV's EASY

[Agent Mulder]

But floyd was in the highest ppv card in the history of boxing. Why cant pacquiao generate those numbers? Why does floyd sell more ppvs against common opponents?

Ps. go have a hot dog.

4000 unsold wasnt for the arena, just separate rooms that the MGM was showing the fight in. As much as I dislike Mayweather, this shouldnt even be news. This was just yhe MGM trying to make extra cash and nothing more.

I know you are a Pac super fan or something but do you really believe the things you post? Can you show is these numbers you speak of?

lol wtf? since when was pacquiao the highest paid athlete in the world? maybe the highest paid filipino athelete but nowhere near the highest paid athlete in the world. floyd can demand more than that because pacquiao said he was willing to take less and then started backtracking on that when floyd called him out on it. nevermind what they do on ppv's or who's more popular. the FACT is that pacquiao said he was willing to take less so thats why you can't complain about floyd saying he wants more than 50/50. p.s. floyd did sell it out the arena.

floyds numbers are better than pacs...and his ppv's cost more. just in case you're confused, here's an example: 1.5 million is higher than 1.3 million.

also it's ****** to say canelo is the biggest mexican star and then refer to marquez as a foreigner. stop being ignorant. and by your own logic, if manny is just a "foreigner" then he definitely cannot demand 50/50.

If Pac fought Marquez on May 5, that fight would've done over 2 million PPV's EASY

is that what bob arum told you? no wait nevermind, bob wouldnt have told you that since according to him, marquez gave pac a cut that took 4 months to heal so he wouldnt have been able to fight on may 5th. either way you're wrong.
