Pacman fills the arenas, Floyd doesn't. So, yeah, I disagree there

How do we judge this though? Based on the numbers of their upcoming fights? It takes 2 to tangle & 2 to sell tickets. Pacquiao and Cotto are going to outdraw Mayweather & Marquez simply because Marquez isn't as big a name as the other guys.
The only fair way to measure who draws more is put them both against the same opponents and see which fights sell. Luckily we have 2 fights to give us the numbers but it seems alot of people choose to look away from those facts in black & white.

We can measure how well Mayweather/Marquez sells in contrast to how Pacquiao/Marquez sold, right?
If we both have Ferraris to race but mine has stone wheels, you'll win every time.
2 marquee names vs 1 marquee name & 1 underrated name...It's an unfair way to measure.
