While we're waiting for the official figures to come in,,, do you think a Pac v Floyd showdown in 2009 would get more buys than Floyd v Oscar?? As far as a boxing fan I would surely think so.... I was actually a bit off put by the Oscar vs Floyd fight.. Oscar just isn't the motivated fighter that he was during his career when he was on the rise.. It was more of a money making thing to me.. And Floyd again wasn't fighting for a belt or anything and it just didn't seem like it had the heart and passion of fights like Cotto Margarito...
But to the general public, I actually think having Oscar in the Floyd fight will make the general public respond better than a Pac vs Floyd...
Although perhaps that's understimating the general public...

Pac vs Floyd would be absolutely HUGE for me and anyone who knows shit about boxing... Where Oscar's motivation was as much money as anything, I bet if it really came down to it, (and this is in fantasy land), Pac would fight Floyd for free just to be in the same ring and have the chance at adding a win over Floyd Mayweather to his legacy....

I mean, it would have to do more buys than Floyd DLH... They would hype the absolute shit out of it, and so they should! Matchups of genuine P4P number 1 plus P4P number 2 in boxing just comes along maybe every 5 or 10 years, and these are 2 great fighters... Not 10 years past the fact or anything.. Pac is arguably at his absolute Prime, and the weight only looks great and more explosive on him... And who could argue that Floyd has looked bad in ANY of his fights at all.. So by no means could anyone say Pac is getting an easy run of it fighting Floyd in 2009..

$2.5 million should be what the promoters aim for.. Any less and they shoudl be ashamed..
