    only reason Cotto/Pacquiao did slightly better than Mayweather/Marquez is because obviously it was more of an even matchup and they are both come forward fighters, there is no doubt in my mind Mayweather/Mosley will outsell Pacquiao/Clottey, and its due to the fact that it's 2 of the biggest names in boxing against each other, while Pacquiao/Clottey is not

    For Manny/DLH people expecte3d a slaughter due to obvious reasons so why pay money for a one sided fight they could see on HBO for free 2 weeks later.....Turned out people were right just not in the direction expected.....

    Hatton had given shit performances with the exception of Malignaggi and even his own UK fan base dropped according to live gates outside the UK.......
    Manny's fights with JMM did 190 000 and 350 000 in a booming economy. Floyd JMM did a million in a recession with a guy who was smaller than him and that Manny had two decisions over.
    Can you name a fighters that did make a million in Feathers/SuperFeather weight division?

    The fighters are the attraction, not the weight division. If Floyd had fought Cotto instead of Manny last November he'd have done a lot more buys than the fight got.

    Yes agree with that will maybe more on (Cotto-Floyd), but remember even if your an attraction in lower weights still it will make a difference just what it takes on Welters north.

    Besides both of them hit millions when they're in welters, no doubt Floyd still in command in terms in PPV sales.
