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

[crookshanks]

floyd's fighting the best and risking his life just to make people happy. pac's fighting patsys not cool dudes and exceptable.

[Tay Roc]

Manny is done as a ppv superstar if his next ppv doesn't have huge numbers. He needs to fight in vegas against a big name.

[thebowtod]

They laughed at 700-800k for Floyd-Guerrero...now they say 350-500k for Manny is great...amazing

it officially sold 475k, why do you keep saying 350-500k when we know the official numbers?

[DannYankee]

Ok so you are saying that Mayweather is a bigger star than Pacquiao?

No sir I meant you where supposed to say "sell" not sale that the fight you said was on hbo was actually on showtime ppv but that being said in global popularity Manny wins but in ppv numbers in the US Mayweather is the bigger star thanks to his persona.

So padding pbfs number is ok now? what black guy celebrates the mexican holiday as his own and cries to americans to back him up against a midget filipino icon?

who always has a better undercard? if pac and donaire during their peaks were running PPVs together they would EASILY add in huge numbers. that wasnt the case and stil isnt.

Mayweather uses canelo, the biggest mexican star to co-star, his ppv on a mexican holiday. BUT that has NOTHING to do with it. put him in with a **** undercard and a nonmexican holiday and we'll see true numbers.

wont happen but stop saying pbf is putting up those numbers alone. how does he go from 700-800k with guerro to 2.2million with canelo as the "b" side. obviously canelo was on equal terms, he brought in 1.4m viewers.

Floyd is a bigger draw, its very simple

He can fight anyone and it will do decent numbers

The people who hate Floyd cant get enough of him and the people who like Floyd cant get enough of him, he's in a perfect situation


Floyd plays the bad guy and it sells

[bojangles1987]

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.

Nope, Floyd would sell 2 million because people hate him and pay to see him lo- oh wait, never mind.

[Mr. Philadel]

Floyd's first fight after getting leaked up against Cotto....whispers of his decline mixed with coming back from a jail term....the public was interested in a fight that normally wouldn't make their radar....plus the Ruben-Big Floyd spin got the soap opera lovers to kick out some cash for a sporting event

Pac reads the bible on planes....Floyd counts money he carry around in Gucci and LV bags....good girls love bad guys....Floyd might have one of the biggest female fan bases in the game atm.....the chicks spend money to watch Floyd....Haye got the hoes as well....my sister don't even watch boxing but me and my big bro know we can get a grub and watch a Floyd fight at her house whenever he fights....I know alot of chicks in Philly and in Europe who spend money to watch Money

How does Mayweather not draw? Mayweather puts up HW champion numbers not JM champion numbers. The american market is a HW market, the death of the american HW has had resulted in the market that use to go to Holyfield and Tyson ect. going to Mayweather. As far as Canelo, yes it was huge, a raising young star going against the HW american draw in Mayweather.

So odh's biggest number before floyd was 1.4 so did floyd bring in 1 mil? Stop being so upset that floyd is just more popular with the buying public.

Imo its because the casual fans see floyd as One of the. 5 or 10 greatest fighters ever (according to espn poll) and as such they want to see him fight. Additionally , the public knows manny and bob keep refusing to fight floyd so they decided enough is enough and didn't purchase this crap fight.

I know its tough for you and other manny fans to swallow but it is what it is. Stop fighting a jww fights at ww and fight guys who win and maybe numbers will return.
