So I guess this proves that Money Mayweather is the new cash cow of the sport and not Pacman. It can't be argued anymore. He was fighting a Mexican fighter that the general public never heard of and did 1 mil buys in a recession.
Then Mayweather should fight Mosley or any other true welterweight out there since he's the cash cow and will generate money anyway right? Mayweather can't be using the excuse "that guy is not the draw, I'm not fighting him" since he is the draw now.
Is that smiley an indication of what you want to do to Manny's asshole? ;)Quote:

People on here spend too much time thinking about Mayweather as 'fight fans' rather than a casual sports fan. Mayweather brings in different demographics that no other fighter is really bringing right now, hence why he does a mil basically off his name.
I've said before Mayweather brings in different demographics, certainly young people, & particularly in the black community. He is an idol among young black kids even over here, some of whom who have no interest in boxing. Amazingly they buy PPVs even if they don't all flood boxing forums going on about how Mayweather would beat Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker & Muhammad Ali at the same time :rolleyes:
It's actually official here's the ESPN commentry on it and a Mayweather Brian Kenny Interview! Floyd appears to be a changed man! I am now officially a huge Floyd fan.
People will hate on him for beating up the smaller Marquez but Marquez will be grateful it the most exposue and money he has ever recieved!
Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez fight generated 1 million pay-per-view buys - ESPN
He comes across as very charming in that interview.Quote:

I highly doubt Mosley-Mayweather would do anything close to 1 million buys. I'd say no more than 600k buys.
Maywether-Cotto I could see 1.25mil if Cotto wins a non-controversial
decision or KO. I'd say Pacman-Floyd could do close to 2mil buys. Enough money for Floyd to piss away yet again...
He has some sick threads too. If he acted like this from jump street he would be an even bigger star I think. He can be flashy thats all good, but don't be a prick.Quote:

They had a segment on Versus last night after the fights and 'recaped' the fight.Marquez choice of beverage :-X and Mayweather grabbing the mic and going off got more airtime than the actual match
That's exactly what he was like when he came to London & pretty much what all who've met him off-camera have said. I like the fact he basically said his mum told him off & he has rightfully apologized to Emmanuel Steward.Quote:

Mayweather-Marquez gets 1 million PPV sales - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports
1 million!?!
Just as I predicted. ;D
It was a tongue-n-cheek comment, ya idiot!Quote:

Marquez was the only reason I layed down 50 bucks.But that was one of the better PPV cards on whole in a long while.
Has HBO stopped the replays of the PPV main events?
Yes, I'm the idiot :rolleyes::-XQuote:

You do realize that it is tongue in cheek. 'tongue-n-cheek' means tongue and cheek, which I suppose only makes sense for you if it means your tongue inside the Pacman's ass cheek ;D
This is fabulous for the sport.
It's funny but some Die hard Mayweather haters on other forums are claiming the sales are down to Marquez. it's actually disapointing that fight fans can be that pathetic.
I mean Like him or hate him Mayweather is clearly one of if not the biggest draw in boxing He probably does a million plus fighting anyone now provided he has 24/7 before hand!
I mean the Moseley fight could be incredibly huge with all the build up throughout the years and in my opinion would be second only to A pacman Showdown! Pacman, Mayweather wow that would be a special fight and sales may break all records.
