Is Manny Pacquiao the #1 draw in the sport?

[boxingbrain28]

This is kind of sad. Now people want to make reality conform to their dreams. It is widely known and accepted that Floyd is the sports biggest draw, even if he does not stack his undercards, he will still be the bigger draw. This is getting just pathetic.

BTW I am a fan of both fighter, before people start labelling me a "floydstan", this is a view from a neutral person.

[Pocket Dogs!]

This is not true. Floyd fought Ricky Hatton in December of 2007 and outsold Manny when he fought Hatton. Against all their mutual opponents Floyd has outsold Manny. Manny has NEVER done 2 million buys no matter who he fought while Floyd has done so twice.

The only exception is Marquez and the buys for his third fight with Pacquiao were high because of their history.

[DeadLikeMe]

I've always found it really amusing that people will so arbitrarily add or subtract PPV numbers from Floyd fights, yet the idea of the same coefficients being applied to Manny is unfathomable heresy. Anything to maintain that 2010 feeling, even if it means agreeing on delusional alternate realities.

You should change the poll option "Yes" to "I am a biased Pac nut-hugger" . Both statements are equivalent in this case.

"The only thing gayweather fans care about are pay per view numbers."

uhhh i dont think it was a floyd fan that made this thread

[Cinci Champ]

So far this year, yes.

Floyd sold 500k, (350K generated by cinco de mayo and the most expensive undercard in history)

Floyd + cinco de mayo + stacked undercard > manny, but when you isolate each factor, then manny alone outsells floyd.

ya has nothing do with mayweather if they put another fighter in his spot it would do just as good

Your theory sucks, people that are drawn in for the undercard also want to watch the main event, otherwise they would switch it off. Floyd is the main draw there was not a stacked undercard vs Oscar. But when manny Fought Oscar they did hundred-thousands less in PPV buys.

Your theory $uck big time. PAC vs Oscar was a circus act and it still made over 1m PPV. Had PAC destroyed Cotto then fought Oscar, I can guarantee you it'll do over 2m PPV.

you guys seem to have a way to discredit floyd no matter what the topic is its almost turned into an art and almost seems like political talking points as its always the same answers to everything no matter how ridiculous
