That is true, but yes ok Pac-Cotto is the better fight than Floyd-Marquez but reports are coming out that is did close to 2 million, that smokes anything Mayweather has ever done I think that has big big power when comes to negotiating.

Lets not forget Mayweather has also been groomed as a p4p boxing superstar for many many years before we new who Pac was, so it's taken time for Pac to become the ppv star he now is.
Like i said after the last performance imo Pac would do more buys than Mayweather if they fought the same fighter, for instance id put the house on say Pac-Mosley doing more than Mayweather-Mosley After his last performance Pac has become the premier star in the boxing world imo, the best no I still think Floyd beats him but for me he is the star now.
I doubt that honestly. Pacquiao was already going to be a huge success because of his all action style and give and take trading and wars he could put on and the knockouts he produces, he is much more marketable. Mayweather was and is a pure boxer who doesn't always knock people out. Pacquiao to me would have an easier time becoming a draw because of his style then Mayweather would strictly on style imo.
