Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

When you have proof, you question it. .

I think Espinoza and Arum should release the ppv#'s. It can't be that hard to calculate, especially in this day and age.

It would expose that there isn't as much difference in PPV buys between the two when matched with fighters of a similar popularity level.

As of 4/8/14 Floyd has sold 450k more and generated about $98 mil more in revenue.

See the numbers for ODH, Cotto and Hatton.

Floyd is the bigger draw but not by so much against similar opposition excluding the DLH fight, a couple hundred thousand or so.

You have the info-there no more to discuss. You can minimize it as you wish. 450k more and $98 mil more.

Yes, and against similar opposition the difference has only been 200-300k at most.

But of course you're averse to facts that go against Floyd bumsniffery.

Pac is a very significant draw. Get over it.

you sure-what's the difference between cotto, odh, hatton, shane? I'd say roughly 1.3 mil without doing the exact math. which JMM fight you counting-the 1st one or the last one?

As usual, when facts prove you wrong, label posting those facts as some derogatory Floyd term. yawn.

the discussion isn't about pac being a significant draw? you posted there isn't as much difference in PPV buys between the two when matched with fighters of a similar popularity level.

you haven't posted any facts to support that post. Can you prove your statement?

Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto 1,500,000
Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto 1,250,000

Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley 1,400,000
Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley 1,300,000

Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton 920,000
Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao 825,000

100/200k difference like I said.

I don't understand the ridiculous demands Floyd makes for Pacquiao fight. The most annoying demand so far is to make Pacquiao join his promotional company. Did his previous opponents join his promotional company in order to fight him?

no. but 2 of manny's recent opponents-JMM (joined TR) and Shane (left GBP) were asked to make similar concessions for a Manny fight.
