    Before Floyd vs Alverez and feel free to do the Math...Manny generated more PPV sales and gross amount than Floyd. Although Floyd did do higher numbers in less fights. Which ten could average out close in the running. You have to do more math than that !
    Did you just say 400k are great numbers? ?? Lmaoooo dude, Floyd could fight my grandma tomorrow, with no promotion, and get more than 400k buys. You've gotta be a huge fan to say that.

      Alright and in order for this fight to happen, either with bob or without bob he is going to have to agree to some demands to make this fight happen, because thats what the B side does... but as much as pac needs floyd, i believe floyd needs pac.. this is destrumental to both floyd and pacs legacy... 8 division champ just aint enough and neither is an undefeated record, you know?

        pac just did 800k, floyd did 770k so as the b-side floyd should agree to some demands like pac wearing mx gloves, 16 foot ring, no more corrupt refs etc...

            400 k for fighting a fighter with NO DRAW that was coming off a loss. Also for Manny coming off a devastating KO loss. With most fans and experts saying he will never be the same...Expecting nothing good.
            Yes 400k is pretty good on the losing streak.
            Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martínez... 315k
            Saúl Álvarez vs. Erislandy Lara...300k
            Saúl Álvarez vs. Alfredo Angulo...350k
            Timothy Bradley vs Juan Manuel Márquez(who both had wins over Manny)375k
            All these guys were on Winning streaks and fighting for and defending titles.
            Manny vs Rios was a Non tilte fight....
            So go get your grandma...It wouldnt be the first time Floyd beat on a woman. Maybe she can spar with Broner! lol

              i agree. But Floyds demands are out there and unethical. demanding one to leave his promotion co and come fight for him is whacked out. I wont dispute floyd should get the Lions share.

                Right.. but floyd and arum hate eachother.. its no different then arum not wanting to work with oscar back in the day up until now, you know..cotto left top rank, and guess what?? He got a floyd fight.. you might disagree tobwhat iam gonna say, but i feel pac re-signing with arum was a bad move and another roadblock on making this fight happen.... pac could have acted as a free agent with gbp co promoting and this fightbwould have been easier to make.. now they have to try extra hard which could have pacquaio accepting less then he ever wanted just to get the chance to fight floyd.

                    this is a misconception pac doesn't need floyd to make money. pac makes 30 million to fight which is similar to what floyd made against maidana but pac pays a lot less taxes by fighting in China. Pac has lost before and is not afraid to loose. Floyds zero loss is his bargaining chip. Because once he loses that mistique will be over and his marketability will diminish.

                      Lol ^^funny. But you've brought up two great points;

                      1) all the ppv you've mentioned, none were pac or Floyd who are clearly the biggest two ppv stars. You can't compare any pac or Floyd fight to Bradley vs JMM. That's unfair. 400k is horrible for any of those two fighters.

                      2) that's the difference between Floyd and pac. Pac would fight guys coming off losses, moving up in weight, fighters no one knows etc. Outside of pac, Floyd ALWAYS fights the biggest, most deserving fighter. No wonder pac sell value is plummeting
