Would Floyd vs Manny have made more money if they fought before Manny got KO'd

[Real King Kong]

Yes. Would have been more in 2012. Not in 2009 though.

Agreed. It would have been promoted just as heavily and been a more intriguing matchup on paper.

[BrometheusBob.]

I would be totally guessing if I were to answer this question. It would have been a more significant fight but that doesn't always mean more PPV buys.

Yes. Would have been more in 2012. Not in 2009 though.

Yes! Before the KO lost and the controversial lost to Bradley.

Yes out of my personal friends that were going to watch it, five of them didn't because of this prolonged marination. That hurt Pacs reputation as a killer. Even I went from wanting to make a big party out of it, to not thinking it was worth the money and watching at my wife's uncles house.
(coff this guy thinks casuals know anything about CWs coff)

Casual dont know anything about CWs thats the point for them Manny was the terminator , when the CWs went so did the perceived killer instinct and Manny was once again the same fighter after the CWs as he was before them , his resume proves it , he ground out wins from constant pressure and power boxing , like Barrera went from a bawler to a very good boxer Manny did the same , its common in older mature elite fighters that they use more skill over brawn .

Whose fault is Manny got KO'd.....Floyd's? No one told him to fight Marquez 4 times......oh wait, Bob Arum

[JaYDeuce11]

Yea very ****** poll if you dont remember the old numbers..
The wait made the fight BUILD and BUILD and BUILD. All Manny neeeded to do was get a few wins again after that KO then it was back n bigger.

What was the min back in 2010? 40 for Manny, then 60 for FLoyd.

Then when they old men at late 30s in 2015, they generate 300Mill?? C'MON MANG!! They made a hell alot more than they would have back then

Only thing, it may have been a more exciting fight

[boliodogs]

Yes, I think it would have made even more money back then.

[QballLobo]

The fight would have done similar PPV numbers in 2010 though Manny and Floyd would not have made as much.
Plus keep in mind that back then the potential for more than one fight was there. If they had done a trilogy of fights overall Floyd would have made more $$$ as well as Manny and everyone else involved.

[b00g13man]

Hell no. The numbers being discussed back then weren't even close to what they got paid.

You guys are delusional. The 4.4m ppv didn't come from hardcore fans it came from casuals. Casuals don't give a **** what happened to Manny before, if anything the KO helped ppv buys. I remember his KO went viral it was all over facebook. In the end every hardcore fan bought the ppv anyway so it made more money.
