Here are the facts:
Against common opponents Mayweather is the bigger draw and Floyd will now demand Pacquiao accept a purse split in Mayweather's favor.
Here are the PPV facts:
Floyd v Hatton 915,000 PPV buys (Pac v Hatton 850,000 PPV buys)
Floyd v DLH 2.4 Mil PPV buys (Pac v DLH 1.25 Mil PPV buys)
Floyd v Marquez 1 Mil PPV buys (Pac v Marquez2 400,000 PPV buys)
With the benefit of Pac v Marquez1, why didn't Pacquiao draw more fans in two fights against Marquez than Mayweather did in one?
In each case the public voted with their dollars and more people prefer to watch Mayweather over Pacquiao vs. common opponents. This fact is indisputable.
Pac Fans you are going to have to come to grips with the fact that if Pac ever wants to fight Floyd he is going to have to take a drug test according to WADA or USADA protocol AND (because Pac wouldn't agree to full testing for the fight in March...) now he is going to have to take the lesser end of the purse split (60/40 minimum) because Mayweather has already proven he is the bigger draw and with the May 1st fight expected to do more than twice what Pacquiao v Clottey did (700,000 ppv buys)..... I'm sorry to say Pac and Bob Arum's job just got a whole lot tougher.
Or he can just choose to walk away.... and retire....
after May 1st the cashcow will be so skinny and hungry and will start chasing Pac to get a fight....but he will never get one and fade away in oblivion.

Pacquiao (and, needless to say, the Philippines) will be screwed if he wins a congressional seat...
and pepe is right. it doesn't matter who he fights next. it just looks really bad that he will retire after a boring clottey fight. (i have nothing bad about clottey, he's just really performed badly with pac)
TS, you would think that just comparing the ppv numbers will make all pac fans rant about your claim that pac is already screwed even before talking of negotiating for a floyd fight to happen???
maybe it would be better to assume that not all pac fans are as die hard as floyd fans are.

because those ppv numbers are gained from US viewers. Mayweather, being an American, has an advantage over non americans. Obviously, if you are a non american, your viewers would be global.
PPV numbers doesnt tell the whole story aside from geographic. the last PPV of May-Marquez, the rate was lower, and they were subsidizing the price with some consumer product promo. But whatever it is, it doesnt matter. It is obvious who are the top PPV drawers here. And its obviously Pacquiao AND Mayweather.
