If May/McGregor does more PPV than May/Pac, is that a huge slap to Manny's face??

    I don't see why it would be an embarrassment. Mayweather vs Pacquiao was a real fight, it shouldn't matter to Pacquiao if more people are interested in a circus show over a real fight.

        Exactly! I'm surprised Tribe didnt have the sense to figure this this out without taking out a front page to ask such an easy question to answer. On top of that, Pac doesnt draw masses of UFC fans from the other side of the fence like McGregor does which totally goes without saying, something that would make people question the IQ of someone for creating such a lame thread. An attempt to degrade Pac by the OP was an epic fail.

            Boxing fans are the only ones trying to connect to the two! ZERO CONNECTION! Arum said it best, nobody is forcing anybody to buy it. Casuals and UFC fans are buying because they're CURIOUS to see WTF is going to happen. They feel McGregor has at least a Punchers Chance while boxing fans for the most part knows BETTER because we understand boxing a lot more than the Average UFC and Casual Sports Fan!

            It raises QUESTIONS about the Sport Of Boxing! Who was a UFC Fighter able to Surpass Boxers as a PPV Draw? What happened after the Mayweather and Manny that no other star was developed during their ERA besides maybe Canelo who GBP was smart enough to put on Mayweather Undercard then eventually had him fight Mayweather even tho he wasn't ready!

              I'm sorry what does Ward have to do with this thread?

                Would be insulting to Manny but much more so to boxing as a whole.

                  I don't think Pacquiao gives a ****.
                  If the fight sells more it tells more about people buying the fight.

                    That would be stunning, to say the least

                      Less than 7k paid that is. Total attendance was 10,500 or 10,600 I forget. Bunch of comped tickets.

                      Anyway, irrelevant to thread topic
