Who didn't know Pac/Cotto was bigger than PBF/Marquez? PBF/Marquez had no build up, Marquez has no draw, it looked like a mismatch on paper, but this fight ridiculously overchieved. It was suppose to draw less than 500,000 buys. It doubled that. Contrary to popular belief, boxing is alive and well right now.

PBF/Marquez had no bulid up hahahahahahaha!!!!

You for real, what a crock of shit!!! It had more build up than the Cotto-Pac fight if anything they even came over to the uk to build it up it then was delayed for two months to give it more anticipation and there was the usual 24/7, there was loads of build up!!

You guys are missing my subtle underlying devious point. That Floyd is a fool for even attempting to try to get more than a 50-50 split

I caught your point but you're comparing 2 very different fights. Cotto is a full fledged welterweight, JMM is a lightweight. The world wanted to see if Pac could fight a 145 pound Cotto, PBF beating JMM was a given. Cotto is a much better draw than Marquez. These fights were incomparable. Just like Pac/Cotto beats Pac/Marquez 1 and 2 combined. The element of the unknown makes the fights incomparable.

I don't know if Cotto is/was much of a better PPV draw than Marquez. Cotto could headline sell outs at MSG, but his previous biggest sell was against Margarito who brought a big following and gave Cotto more exposure and plus word spread fast about the nature of the fight. Marquez has a huge following and of one of the traditionally strongest fan bases in the sport.


And of course Pac-Cotto beats Pac-JMM 1 and 2...both Pac and JMM had a fraction of the popularity then that they do now.

It's not the element of the unknown. Every fight has that. It's not necessarily boxing fans that drive big PPV sales, a lot us just stream fights on a computer. Mainstream fans buy PPVs


Pacquiao is bigger than boxing right now and Mayweather is only as big as boxing lets him be

This is as plain as I can put it. Fresh out of retirement, do you really believe PBF/Marquez is a better buy than PBF/Cotto? Pac/Cotto did what it was expected to. PBF/Marquez did double what is was expected to. Lets keep it real.

By build up I don't mean promotion I mean excitement. I mean you have a guy coming out of retirement against a guy with no draw coming up 2 weight classes. Both are counterpunchers. Floyd was expected to win with little problems. A good UFC PPV was on. Who did they trick into getting excited about this fight? And despite all the less than 500,000 buys talk the fight did 1 million. The buys total was more exciting to find out than the fight outcome.

They hit a million PPV because of JMM. For just drinking his own pee, it hype the fight to gain more PPV clicks. Floyd owe it to JMM.

Yep I remember that. Plus it was Floyd coming back from an almost 2 year hiatus that was also included in the buildup of the fight. It was a hugely hyped fight.

There is no such thing as PPV experts. The only credible numbers come from cable and HBO network number leaks.

Pacquiao-Cotto should blow Mayweather-Marquez out of the water it was a different caliber of fight in terms of hype and importance. Mayweather-Marquez on paper didn't prove anything, while Pacquiao-Cotto was historic. All Mayweather-Marquez proved was that Mayweather is going to beat Manny.

The fact is that Floyd has outsold Manny with every similar opponent they've had.

Thank you Taeth for keeping it real. I am a big Pac fan but I know what is the truth and PBF has outsold Pac. Even PBF/Marquez outsold Pac/Hatton. I know everybody who hates PBF goes overboard but you just can't throw out the facts. People will just not credit PBF no matter what he says or does.

Marley has gotten leaked stuff before that actually turned out to be true, but it's still just hearsay.
