Have to disagree there mate, Pac deserves at least 50/50 here's a look at there PPV numbers before and after there fights with Dela Hoya

Mayweather's Highest PPV before De la Hoya:

Zab Judah - 374,000
Arturo Gatti - 365,000
Carlos Baldomir - 325,000

TOTAL : 1,064,000


Pacquiao's Highest PPV Fights before De la Hoya:

Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch - 400,000
Erik Morales 3rd Match - 360,000
Marco Antonio Barrera Rematch - 350,000

TOTAL: 1,110,000


Mayweather Fights after De la Hoya

Juan Manuel Marquez - 1,050,000
Ricky Hatton - 925,000

TOTAL: 1,975,000

Pacquiao Fights after De la Hoya

Miguel Cotto - 1,250,000
Ricky Hatton - 850,000

TOTAL: 2,100,000


The Mosley fight will probably do a couple of hundred thousand more but the same argument for comparing Pac/Cotto - Mayweather/JMM, could be used with the two fights coming up, with Mayweather having the less attractive ppv then and now Pac having the same situation.

But on the other hand you can look at these numbers below and say Floyd deserves more:

Marquez-Pacquiao 400k
Marquez-Mayweather 1.1Mill

Hatton-Pacquiao 850k
Hatton-Mayweather 950k

De La Hoya-Pacquiao 1.6Mill
De La Hoya-Mayweather 2.4Mill


But the timing of these fights had a big bearing, and the situation for instance Dela Hoya v Mayweather was seen as alot closer fight on paper than Pac Dela Hoya, everyone thought Pac would get blown away. Hard to say but looking at all figures 50/50 is fair imo.
you can also throw in that Barrera, Morales, and Marquez have a bigger fan base than Judah and Baldomir

So as Dela hoya, Hatton and of course Mosley.

Floyd making these demands and rules this early is a testament that he really doesnt want to fight Pacman. Whatever happens on his fight vs Mosley, Floyd will never let that fight against Pacman to materialize.

Im rooting for Mosley to win, but I have a feeling the Floyd will just run and dance away while bitch-slapping mosley, and will get points for those slaps. He's good at it anyway so I must give credit to him.
