    How did Mayweather Vs Guerrero sale so much when...

    So May Vs Guerrero wasn't a financial success for HBO due to the amount they were paying Mayweather, but otherwise it had good PPV sales.

    Now, I'm told by all my friends that are Manny Pacquiao fans that Manny is more popular than Floyd and Rios is more popular than Guerrero.

    So if Manny (Bigger than Floyd) - Rios (Bigger than Guerrero) than shouldn't their PPV had easily outsold May Vs Guerrero?

          Probably cuz Pacquiao was KTFO, didn't fight for a year, was fighting in China and against a punching bag coming off a loss.

          I'm sure if Floyd was put to sleep by Khan (lol), took a year off and fought someone like Maidana coming off a loss and the fight was in Argentina the PPV numbers would be low.

                    Because Pac fights losers or fighters who do not fight at welter weight.

                    Due to the fact of Pac fighting these bums/losers, his numbers do not compete with Floyd who fights winners, Champions and Title holders.

                    It's not Pac's fault he fights ****ing **** opposition, he does what he's told.

                    Now look at the circus clown, I bet he would beg for that $40 million offer. He'd be lucky to even see that at this point.
