After seeing Mayweather Marquez PPV Sales

[fan johnny]

Mayweather has shown that he is a PPV attraction by the #s his last fight put up. However in my opinion this does not mean he is necessarily a bigger draw than Manny. I think that Mayweather sparked the public's interest and Manny and Miguel will set it off sort of. I'll go out on a limb and say that Pac Cotto does 1.3 M

How do you predict Pac - Cotto sales go?

Mayweather is the cash cow of the sport now. Against a Mexican fighter that is virtually unknown to the general public he manages 1 million PPV buys and in a recession. Can't say he's not the draw anymore.

Whereas Hatton-Pacquiao was marketed even bigger and seems to be the bigger fight but only managed 825,000 ppv buys.

I'd be surprised if Cotto-Pacquiao does 1 million. It's going to be seen by the general American public as 2 foreigners fighting. America don't like foreigners, unless 1 of their own is beating the shit out of the other foreigner.

Those number are US only numbers. The jury is still out on this. Pac/Cotto has got nothing to do with Mayweather.

And Mayweather-Hatton did 900,000+ and that's just the US numbers. Either way Floyd has proven that he's the bigger draw than Pac against the same opponents in a very similar economic climate.

Cotto-Pac might be similar to Hatton-Pac in terms of ppv buys, in that they are 2 foreign fighters that have an exciting style but does only a decent number, overall it's the American buying general public that dictates PPV sales.

Ok so do you want to take into account UK numbers also?

Mayweather-Hatton

US: 920,000 buys
UK: 1.4m buys

Pacquiao-Hatton

US: 825,000 buys
UK: 350,000 buys

Kind of says it all. Unless you want me to bring out the comparison between how Mayweather sold against ODLH & JMM with how Pac did against those same opponents. Just accept it he's a star.

For the record I think Pacquiao-Cotto does 1m, maybe more as they're two fighters with big communities in the US. Difference between them & PBF-JMM is that they both have proved to be a draw of some kind in the past.

I don't know why everyone seems so suprised by Mayweather's numbers. He's American, has a hip hop image, is in the news for things outside of boxing, trashtalks, has alot of money and loves to show it and plays the villain. He's what alot of young people across the world find cool and someone alot of older people want to see get knocked out. People can't even pronounce Pacquiao Cotto.
