    but people really have been underestimating his drawing power as of late because of the fights in china(8 hr difference)

    marquez can't draw at all unless it's pacquiao and that's him adding his 2-300k(marquez's usual draw)

    all you have to do is look at what pacquiao did the last time he was in the US in the bradley(relatively unknown) rematch, 800k(after the ko, the first fight was 900k and bradley was really unknown then), mayweather's last fight against maidana did 925K

    the difference isn't that much, and if the may-pac fight happens all the pacquiao fans who weren't willing to pay for crap like algieri and staying up til 4am to watch it will come out of the woodworks to definitely buy the mayweather fight

    it's not as bad as pacquiao's power over marquez, pacquiao and mayweather are alot closer
    Then blame Arum and his incompetent team for making the fights in China.

    Facts

    1 Pacquiao last 2 PPV's did under 400k (estimated)
    2 Mayweather last 2 PPV's did under 900k (estimated)
    3 Pacquiao was KO'ed by a guy Floyd dominated
    4 Pacquiao hasn't looked spectacular since Cotto (5 years ago)
    5 Mayweather last spectacular performance was against Canelo (1 year ago)
    6 Mayweather still brings the more fans into the sport.

    Conclusion
    Mayweather is the A-side clearly, he call the shots, he makes the decisions.
    If Pacquiao want to be the A-side he needs to earn it, and till he beats Mayweather wich seems almost impossible he needs to get what he's offered.

    Blame Pacquiao and greedy Arum for asking for a ton of money when they know for sure that they will lose the fight.

      pacquiao's last 2 fights were bradley II(US) and algieri(china)

      bradley II did 800k, so there goes your first point

          Another day, another delusional rant from the guy who thinks anything he says is solid gold. Geez, I don't even think delusional is a good enough word for this. So, we now learn Khan is a nobody that no one has heard of... and the delays in the Pac/Floydie biz are all Pac's fault. What a truck load of b.s. A boy can dream, and in my dreams I imagine Floydie's azz getting pounded by Pac, then by Khan a few months later, then Floydie exits the sport forever. Like I say... a boy can dream.

            ESPN reported today Pacquiao hopes Mayweather plans to engage him during their fight and not run making the fight less exciting.

            Pac says he's coming out firing!

              You forget... fans come to see Floydie lose. They come to see his opponents win, hopefully. Floydie with a complete nobody wouldn't draw 300-400K tops.

                  I'm going to have to agree with you sir. Oat meal raisin takes it. They have to be chewy.

                    I can almost guarantee that at this stage[B] Khan is more dangerous to Floyd than Pacquiao[B/], let's see what happens next.............
                    Danny Garcia is more dangerous to Khan than Floyd or Pac. Danny Garcia rightfully should get floyd or Pac long before khan does..garcia obliterating khan beats everything khan has done since
