I don't think they have PPV overseas...I usually notice the Brits get PPV fights for free I could be wrong tho bruh

should Manny get 50/50 against Mayweather?
it shouldn't matter IMO they both will get guaranteed 50 mil just to show up...after the PPV buys & Gate they can expect millions more...it shouldn't matter with all that loot...but they will argue this to gain "control"

Manny Vs Bradley will do 1.2 Mil Buys IMO
 
This Pacquiao/Mayweather thing isn't even about 50/50 anymore. It's not about drug testing anymore either. Pac could agree to 70/30 and all the drug testing Mayweather wants and the fight would not happen. Mayweather doesn't want anything to do with that boy, plain and simple.

I was watching Pacquiao greatest hits, and I think you may be right. I honestly think Floyd may be a little nervous that he may lose.:smh:
 
Wait till the Pac/Bradley numbers come in... :lol:

Either way, Floyd probably made somewhere between 70-80 Mill off this fight...:eek:

If you watch Zab Judah and Miguel Cotto's greatest hits, they would look fearsome and unbeatable too. A better indicator is what Manny does against a fighter with a similar style as Floyd: Juan Manuel Marquez.

I'm stunned, and I shouldn't be, that there are people saying it was Alvarez and Cotto that drew the number. What did Floyd do to some of you people? I couldn't stand De La Hoya but I still gave him credit where it was due.

Floyd and Marquez have completely different styles. Yes, they may both be boxers but Marquez leans more towards the boxer-puncher style as opposed to just boxer, Marquez is not the pure boxer Finito Lopez was. I believe a Pacquiao fight with Mayweather would be very different than his fights with Marquez, win or lose.

As far as the PPV numbers, yeah the Mexican Canelo had something to do with it and that's part of the reason why they wanted to do it on 5 de Mayo. Also both Cotto and Mosley are established PPV attractions. Mayweather is a bigger PPV attraction than all of them. In short, the card was packed with PPV attractions and a guaranteed success. That being said, Mayweather is amazingly a huge PPV attraction in this poor economy.

To me, it's amazing because he's not really in everybody's face that much the way Oscar de la Hoya and Mike Tyson were. I mean, he's not on TV every five minutes, he doesn't do a lot of talk shows, I rarely see billboards with his face on it, I've never seen him on a Wheaties box, etc. In spite of all that, people apparently love to tune in and watch him. He should fight more often but that "0" seems very important to him so maybe he doesn't want to risk losing it by fighting too often.

word Floyd almost always has more PPV buys than Pac...& if Pac was having trouble with JMM he will be up shits creek fighting a master boxer like Floyd....Floyd's countering are light years better than JMM & that saying something because JMM countering abilities is pretty impressive

They do not have completely different styles. I didn't and have never said they're mirror images of each other but, of all Manny's opponents, Marquez is the most similar.
I believe it would be very different as well. Mayweather would win decisively instead of Pacquiao winning a razor's edge close decision. He would bob back and forth a lot, get countered a lot, get caught with a shitload of overhand rights, not be able to cut off ring to hinder Mayweather's movement.

Floyd Mayweather drew 1.2 million versus Victor Ortiz so Cotto (the number three ppv draw in boxing) and Canelo get credit for the additional .3 million buys.

To me, it's amazing because he's not really in everybody's face that much the way Oscar de la Hoya and Mike Tyson were. I mean, he's not on TV every five minutes, he doesn't do a lot of talk shows, I rarely see billboards with his face on it, I've never seen him on a Wheaties box, etc. In spite of all that, people apparently love to tune in and watch him.

Since the De La Hoya win, Floyd's done WrestleMania (another million buy ppv he participated on but it does that every year)which came with appearances on "Monday Night Raw" the highest rated show on cable, appeared on Chili's reality show on VH1, and done "Dancing With the Stars" so he's done some crossover, mainstream things. But it's pretty clear, he is an attraction in his own right. No more giving credit to his opponent (who never drew as much with anyone else). I think his numbers expose the idea of him not being "fan friendly" as untrue. Name someone supposedly more "fan friendly" and he outdraws them.
I wish he would fight more often but we're really only talking the difference between one fight and two. Guys on that level do not fight three and four fights anymore.
