    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.
