    And you fighting some guy who's never boxed professionally before is worthy of 15,000 dollar tickets?

    Pacquiao vs. Horn was roundly mocked by pretty much everybody before it took place, and it was still a better fight than the circus in August will be.

      Mayweather is a PPV fighter. It's pretty much expected for his fights to be on PPV. The Berto fight was no exception. Pacquiao lost so much of his star power after the KO and his loss to Mayweather that he ended up fighting on ESPN. The Horn fight should've been on ESPN.

        Yeah so much star power gone that number of people tuned in on ESPN to watch it was around 4 million. Largest viewer on ESPN since 2006. Tells you Pac's star is still lit up. If only Floyd had the balls to do a rematch with Pac. But last I heard Floyd knew it was his fault for the ppv fight with Pac but decided to take the circus route lol

        # Pac trying to give back. Don't have to pay a dime to watch a great fight.

          like canela vs angulo, canela vs smith, canela vs chavez bum jr and canela vs khan..... All ppv scams against outclassed punching bags with no hope.....

            The numbers were great but it was still ESPN. I know people like to spin it as Pacquiao giving back. The truth is the fight would have failed miserably if it was PPV. It was a smart move on Arum's part but you also saw how he set Pacquiao up for a loss on free TV.

            When are going to stop begging for a rematch? You know you can't handle another loss for your hero.

              I wonder if Floyd's 7 foot rent-a-giant bodyguards protect him from common sense. This muhfucca doesn't have a clue.

                  I totally disagree with Floyd. ESPN was exactly where Pacquiao vs. Horn belonged! That definitely was not a PPV fight! Neither was Algieri, Rios, Bradley III, nor Vargas!
