Mate that is a really poor show. These are the best two American fighters in the world, fighting on the best American network and a Filipino and a Peurto Rican did a bigger PPV buy IN AMERICA than they did.

It really puts into stark contrast how unpopular a draw Shane Mosley was, and that Floyd needs a dancing partner to make big money.

To put it into perspective Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir 2 took 1.5 million Buys.

Mayweather isnt a big a draw as he thinks. He is a slick/highly skilled boxer with NO killer instinct which translates to a wide (boring) unanimous decision. Purists can enjoy a good boxing clinic but most people and especially casual fans want knockouts. Personally I would rather watch Pacquaio fight than Mayweather and I am an American.
he must be a big enough draw to make a million buy minimum ppv despite whoever he's facing especially when so many try to play down his wins over (as they put it) an old lightweight, and an old man (period), so if his opposition is as bad as most say, these people must be buying the PPV just to see Floyd
